Hi there,
Spamass-milter has stopped processing messages from Postfix. I have
tested the milter socket and it works. To test that it worked I used :-
http://www.itg.uiuc.edu/itg_software/milter_watch/ and Spamass-milter
rejected the spammy messages.
The spam threshold on the spam milter is 11, and it seems that any
message is getting through. However, the backend SpamAssassin is
correctly tagging the messages as spam.
My objective of mailing this list is to either rule out Postfix config
problems or not.
Now I think I know that the milter is functioning, I would like someone
to check my config to ensure that is it correct. If some one has the time:-
# postconf -n | grep milter
milter_default_action = tempfail
non_smtpd_milters = unix:/dkim-filter/dkim-filter.sock
smtpd_milters = unix:/clamav/clamav-milter.ctl,
unix:/spamass/spamass.sock, unix:/dkim-filter/dkim-filter.sock
