Re: DCC and spamassassin -r
On Sun, 18 Sep 2005, Graham Murray stipulated: The DCC checkers, dccproc and dccifd, not only check the mail but also increment the 'bulkiness' counts at the server. Spamassassin and spamd use one of these (if dcc checking is enabled) when scoring the mail. So is it correct for spamassassin -r to re-submit the mail to the DCC servers? My reading of the DCC documentation indicates that it should not being so as the mail would have already be counted when scanned. It is correct: SpamAssassin forces the count all the way up to `spam' (99) when reporting to DCC. dccproc merely increments the count by 1. -- `One cannot, after all, be expected to read every single word of a book whose author one wishes to insult.' --- Richard Dawkins

Once you edited the dcc_conf file to enable DCCIFD, start it using the init program: # /etc/init.d/dccd start Thanks. dccifd did start. However, I'm seeing the following error message, dccifd[8337]: clock changed an impossible -1.080998 seconds May I ask if this is critical? Regards, Norman Zhang

I just wrote my own init script to start dccifd. Should I use this instead? BTW do I need to set use_dcc = 0 if I want to use dccifd? No.. SA will use neither dccproc nor dccifd if you do that. The use_dcc option completely enables or completely disables all of DCC at once.
RE: DCC in Spamassassin
My dcc on RedHat 8.0 is located in /var/dcc directory You should see DCCIFD there as well. I had to change a line in the /var/dcc/dcc_conf to DCCIFD_ENABLE=ON Also, make sure you install the latest DCC with DCCIFD from the Rayolite website (if you do not have it). Put the path to DCC in your local spamassassin config file just to be safe. (local.cf) DCC_HOME /VAR/DCC Do all of this and spamassassin should automatically use DCCIFD instead of DCC when it detects it. -Original Message- From: Norman Zhang [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, March 12, 2005 10:07 PM To: users@spamassassin.apache.org Subject: Re: DCC in Spamassassin I also uncommented the DCCIFD_ARGS line. # used to start dccifd # a common value is # DCCIFD_ARGS=-SHELO -Smail_host -SSender -SList-ID DCCIFD_ARGS= My DCCIFD_ARGS is empty.

Once you edited the dcc_conf file to enable DCCIFD, start it using the init program: # /etc/init.d/dccd start I see you also have amavisd installed. If you run spamassassin from amavisd you will need to reload it as well: # amavisd reload This will force it to re-read the spamassassin config files and pick up your use_dcc change (should be set to 1) and look for the dccifd socket. -Bill
