Hi All,
After having trained SA with sufficient amounts of ham & spam, I have
bayesian testing working. When I test it with spamassassin -D <
testmessage as root it works flawlessly. But, when postfix invokes
spamc with user filter, bayes always fails.
I tested this by running spamassassing -D < tesmessage as user filter
and saw some permission errors as shown in the debug output at the
end of this mail.
I see two things going wrong:
1. it tries to create userprefs for filter, not lethal I guess. How
can I keep SA from doing this when invoked from postfix? I use it
system wide, so no user prefs are needed. There's no option for spamc
mentioned in the manpage to make it run system wide only. At the
moment is is invoked as
spamassassin
unix - n n - - pipe
user=filter argv=/usr/bin/spamc -f -e /usr/sbin/sendmail -oi -f $
{sender} ${recipient}
2. More seriously, it cannot access /var/spool/spamassassin, so it
can't use the bayes DB or the whitelist. But this directory is world
readable and writable:
mrblue:/home/oneman# ls -lh /var/spool/spamassassin/
total 4.6M
-rw-rw-rw- 1 root root 12K 2006-09-26 20:07 auto-whitelist
-rw-rw-rw- 1 root root 5.1K 2006-09-26 20:07 bayes_journal
-rw-rw-rw- 1 root root 632K 2006-09-26 20:07 bayes_seen
-rw-rw-rw- 1 root root 5.2M 2006-09-26 20:07 bayes_toks
I'm probably missing the obvious, but can someone point out to me
what to change so filter can access /var/spool/spamassassin ?
TIA
Peter
