This may not be the best place to ask about this issue, but I figure I have to start somewhere and maybe someone here has encountered it. My problem is that SpamAssassin appears to not be performing the task of scanning my incoming mail any longer (appears to have stopped recently). My domain (website) is on a Linux system under WHM/CPanel control. I have SpamAssassin enabled, but spam comes through with no signs of SpamAssassin scanning the email. Why do I say this and what do I see?
Well, when I enable Spam Assassin I get the following results: Received: from localhost by cloud-dimenoc.webhostdns.info with SpamAssassin (version 3.3.1); Wed, 19 Jan 2011 00:09:07 +0300 From: "Spam Assassin" <spamassassin@localhost> X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 3.3.1 (2010-03-16) on cloud-dimenoc.webhostdns.info X-Spam-Flag: YES X-Spam-Level: ***** X-Spam-Status: Yes, score=5.1 required=2.5 tests=AWL,BAYES_05,FH_FROMEML_NOTLD, MISSING_DATE,MISSING_HEADERS,MISSING_MID,MISSING_SUBJECT,NO_HEADERS_MESSAGE, NO_RECEIVED,NO_RELAYS shortcircuit=no autolearn=no version=3.3.1 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary="----------=_4D360173.AEA6A9BC" This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ------------=_4D360173.AEA6A9BC Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1 Content-Disposition: inline Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Spam detection software, running on the system "cloud-dimenoc.webhostdns.info", has identified this incoming email as possible spam.

All that my hosting provider can say of this matter is: "I'm unsure as to why spamd isn't processing your mail, but I assure you it's running server-wide. It's almost impossible to diagnose an issue like this on a domain basis, as we really can't do much modification or work with spamd as it's a specific service." So my questions to this forum are: 1) Has anyone else ever encountered a similar situation and what was done to resolve it? 2) Any ideas on what I can suggest to my web hoster to do to debug/fix the problem? Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/SpamAssassin-Not-Performing-Task-tp30712107p30712107.html Sent from the SpamAssassin - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
