Re: Can't configure spamd correctly
Well, some progress 1) The problem with spamd was that, running as vscan it couldn't read /etc/mail/spamassassin. My own dumb fault, corrected this and the log now looks a lot healthier. 2) Amavisd-new seems to call perl-spamassassing directly, and keeps child processes running at the ready. So spamd was never being used, and wouldn't benefit me if it were. Conclusion: Don't use spamd.

Re: Can't configure spamd correctly
Jack, Thanks for the suggestion, I may indeed do that, but at the moment spamd isn't generating any messages after its startup. (unless I telnet to it) I start spamd with a script that came with the rpm package from SuSE in /etc/init.d, the options are specified in the file /etc/sysconfig/spamd, and I currently have SPAMD_ARGS="-d -a -L -D -x -u vscan", and /etc/init.d/spamd does: startproc -p /var/run/spamd.pid $SPAMD_BIN $SPAMD_ARGS Paul Hilton On Tue, 2004-12-07 at 10:01, Jack L.

Re: Can't configure spamd correctly
Theo, Thanks for the reply, and there may be some truth in that, but I'm not convinced that it is ever working correctly. There have been NO spamd debug messages in the log since then, despite emails being scanned. There is never any message saying it actually found the Bayes data. I am not convinced that spamd has ever found it, or that it is ever actually being used. If I telnet to port 783 I do get spamd debug messages.

Can't configure spamd correctly
Hello Why is spamd running with a home directory under /tmp ? I have spamassassin working as a mail filter under Amavis and Postfix and SuSE. I am trying to use spamd to speed things up. I have two problems 1) I don't think that Amavis is actually using spamd 2) Spamd is not configuring correctly. I am using spamassassin v2.64, amavis-new v20030616p5-23, perl v5.8.1-81, postfix v2.0.14-41, SuSE v9.0 My /etc/sysconfig/spamd has: SPAMD_ARGS="-d -a -L -D -x -u vscan" My /usr/share/spamassassin is the default My /etc/mail/spamassassin has only local.cf which has: required_hits 5.0 rewrite_subject 1 subject_tag [spam] report_safe 1 use_terse_report0 use_bayes 1 bayes_path /var/spool/amavis/.spamassassin/bayes bayes_file_mode 0666 auto_learn 1 skip_rbl_checks 1 ok_languagesall ok_locales all The user vscan has a home directory of /var/spool/amavis When I start spamd my /var/log/mail log gets: Dec 6 14:12:12 Pangloss spamd[23172]: debug: daemonized.

I have tried putting -H /var/spool/amavis into SPAMD_ARGS, makes no difference. Thanks for any help, Paul Hilton
