Your setup is very similar to what I have setup here. I too, frontend an exchange server with sendmail/spamass-milter/spamassassin. Your document is not a bad start for people wanting to frontend another mail server using SA. i.e. procmail is NOT called by the frontend system to filter e-mail. So that we are on the same page with regards to RH-9.0, I thought I would add a few of my notes. 1) In the spamassassin section, I downloaded the latest spamassassin src RPM (2.55) and then issued the following to install spamassassin: # rpmbuild --rebuild spamassassin-<version>.src.rpm # cd /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386 # rpm -i spamassassin-<version>.rpm NOTE: I also had to download/install the dependencies for the spamassassin rpm. This included: perl-Mail-Spamassassin-<version>.src.rpm and spamassassin-tools-<version>.src.rpm. If I remember correctly, I issued the same rpmbuild sequence against these packages too so the dependencies were properly loaded. As for your instructions regarding configuring SA on a per user (local) basis, I have had zero luck with this. Mainly because list server e-mail is not addressed to me directly. i.e. To: So I configured SA to work in a site-wide basis by editing /etc/mail/spamassassin/local.cf. 2) In the spamass-milter section, I downloaded the latest spamass-milter src RPM (0.2.0) and then issued the following to install spamass-milter: # rpmbuild --rebuild spamass-milter-<version>.src.rpm # cd /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386 # rpm -i spamass-milter-<version>.rpm 3) In the sendmail section, I agree with all of your notes with the exception of the access file entries. Personally, I do not see how your system accepts e-mail for your domain when you include: exDomain.com REJECT I tried your exmaple on a test server I have setup here and all e-mail was rejected for [EMAIL PROTECTED] Even if I included a validuser as you have shown. Maybe you could clarify (off the list) how your system accepts e-mail for your domain while using the access file format you have specified. If I followed your instructions for the access section of your document, all e-mail would be rejected at my end. Just my two bits. BTW: Good start at trying to document using a sendmail milter.
