[SAtalk] Mangled messages

2002-02-16 Thread Kevin Dangoor
Hi, I get a couple of mass-mailed newsletters that get mangled by SpamAssassin. SA is the only filter I'm running, so it must be responsible... it is possible that there is something that I can change in the config that would fix this. I'm using Outlook Express as my mail reader. The symptom

[SAtalk] How about a black-list

Hi We've got a white-list, but how about a black list? I've had 2 bits of spam today that weren't picked up by SA2.01, scored 3.0 and 4.6 on default settings. I haven't got a problem in just adding these manually to a black-list. Incidentally, do you want the spam posted to the list? I can't bou

There's a blacklist there already. Just use blacklist_from x instead of whitelist_from in your config file. C On Sat, 2002-02-16 at 10:45, Matthew Dickinson wrote: > Hi > > We've got a white-list, but how about a black list? I've had 2 bits of > spam today that weren't picked up by SA2.01,

The problem is in your procmail recipe. You need a lockfile, or else two spamassassin running at the same time could both be simulatneously redirecting to your "kid" mailbox, interleaving their contents. Change the first line to: :0: and you should be fixed. On Sat, 2002-02-16 at 13:10, Kevin

Shouldn't the lockfile on the -inner- portion be sufficient? I believe it should. However ... there may be another problem. Look at this bit from procmailex(5): ] In order to make sure the lockfile is not removed until the pipe has ] finished, you have to specify option `w'; otherwise the lockfi

The other thing I'd suggest is to let procmail deliver the mail, rather than having the shell do it (using the redirect to the mbox method), ie something like: :0 * $RECIP ?? ^^kid@$DOMAIN { :0fw | perl -I../www/blognet/lib ../spamassassin -c ~/.spamassassin -P :0:

2002-02-16 Thread Tom Lipkis
Modifying the site-wide config requires killing and restarting spamd, which risks missing some mail or killing a running scan. It would be handy if sending SIGHUP to the parent spamd process would cause it to reload the rules cleanly. It should leave the listen up, and ideally it would continue
