I guess you really need to understand how SA can run, and then undo the bits that don't apply to you. For instance, running SA via Qmail-Scanner is running it in "system-wide" mode - and usually with the end-local users being on yet another box. So the entire component of SA that allows for per-user configuration is irrelevent - and should be disabled: Here's how I run the two: #/etc/mail/spamassassin/local.cf required_hits 5 auto_report_threshold 30 rewrite_subject 0 report_header 1 use_terse_report 1 defang_mime 0 skip_rbl_checks 1 Then I run spamd via daemontools as: #/service/SpamAssassin/run exec /usr/local/bin/softlimit -a 9000000 /usr/bin/spamd -F 1 -L -x -u spamc > /var/log/spamd.log 2>&1 As you see, spamd runs as usercode "spamc", disables user config files, disables generation of a leading "From " header [that will break mail otherwise!], and only does local tests (as I believe RBL/etc tests are better done by the MTA). Works, works, works. -- Cheers Jason Haar Information Security Manager Trimble Navigation Ltd.
