Hi John, I'm happy to try anything - especially if it helps to refine open source software. However, before we go down that route can we just check that it is not my lack of knowledge that is the problem here. To test pyzor I ran the command suggested on the Wiki [1]: echo "test" | spamassassin -D pyzor 2>&1 | less This, it seems to me, just pipes the word test into SA and looks at the pyzor output. Wondering if that was the problem I tried this: cat spam1.txt | spamassassin -D pyzor 2>&1 | less where spam1.txt is a real email (spammy - but I don't know if it should trigger pyzor or not). Both tests give the exit code 1. However, the first one produces a "failed: no response" message, whereas the second one produces a "got response" message. Viz: $ echo "test" | spamassassin -D pyzor 2>&1 | less Oct 6 19:33:01.540 [14853] dbg: pyzor: network tests on, attempting Pyzor Oct 6 19:33:05.329 [14853] dbg: pyzor: pyzor is available: /bin/pyzor Oct 6 19:33:05.335 [14853] dbg: pyzor: opening pipe: /bin/pyzor --homedir /home/mark/.pyzor check < /tmp/.spamassassin14853Tu0tM9tmp Oct 6 19:33:05.495 [14853] dbg: pyzor: [14860] finished: exit 1 Oct 6 19:33:05.496 [14853] dbg: pyzor: check failed: no response $ cat spam1.txt | spamassassin -D pyzor 2>&1 | less Oct 6 19:34:05.896 [14864] dbg: pyzor: network tests on, attempting Pyzor Oct 6 19:34:10.940 [14864] dbg: pyzor: pyzor is available: /bin/pyzor Oct 6 19:34:10.942 [14864] dbg: pyzor: opening pipe: /bin/pyzor --homedir /home/mark/.pyzor check < /tmp/.spamassassin14864qX2Rmwtmp Oct 6 19:34:11.248 [14864] dbg: pyzor: [14866] finished: exit 1 Oct 6 19:34:11.248 [14864] dbg: pyzor: got response: public.pyzor.org:24441 (200, 'OK') 0 0 Is it simply that neither "input" (the word "test" or a real email) happen to trigger pyzor? Anyway - I'm happy to be guided by someone with more knowledge than me (which is not difficult!). Thanks again... Mark [1] http://wiki.apache.org/spamassassin/UsingPyzor
