Need to get spamassassin working system-wide with:
qmail (with the qmail-queue patch)
tcpserver
maildrop
sqwebmail (w/ vpopmail, but no virtual users)
All the docs I could find (including the archives to this list) say to use
qmail-scanner
For security reasons I am running spamd under a seperate username
'spamd -d -a -u foo'
This creates a system wide AWL under the user 'foo' home directory
(/var/spool/spamassassin).
Problem is that the command 'spamassassin --add-addr-to-blacklist' doesn't
know anything about the user 'foo' and
OK, I've done all the RTFM and still don't have an answer to this one:
spamassassin has command options for adding address to the AWL
(--add-addr-to-blacklist) and by default it will add that address to the
current users list (~/.spamassassin?).

There's no catch-22, and I'll tell you why...and you said it yourself.

Back when I still ran site-wide AWL, I think I just made a symlink from
~spamd/.spamassassin -> /var/spool/spamassassin (or soemthing like
that). W
HI All,
Can anyone please offer me any suggestions on how I can stop spamd
from hogging all the memory on my mail server and spiriling into
memory-thrashing hell?

you could try the CVS version -- the -m bug is fixed there.
Also, spamc/spamd can run across a network, another option is to farm out
spamd work to another machine. Thi
BTW, just met with some researchers in Trinity College here in Dublin for
lunch, an AI guy and a distributed-systems peer-to-peer guy, they're
*both* looking at starting anti-spam projects.
So, wondering -- does anyone have good ideas for new systems in those
areas, that can help in spamfiltering?
Would it make sense to do a Bayesian analysis using not only on individual
words, but also the SpamAssassin regex tests in order to detect phrases and
patterns that would be missed using a naive word-by-word analysis? And if
that worked, would it then not make sense to discard the standard SA

This is probably something simple, but I'm having a difficult time with it.
We have Spamassassin 2.43 running on RH 7.3 with Squirrelmail 2.40.
Everything works fine, however we cannot customize on a individual level.
When a new user logs into Spamassassin, a .spamassassin file is created,
Howdy,
Has anyone gotten DNSBL to work with Spam Assassin? I did
some googling, and came up with:
http://www.blackholes.us/docs/usage.html
I added a blackholes.cf to ~/.spamassassin, but am unsure how
to enable it (looking at the man page and default spamassassin
output doesn't show anything).
..that about says it. :)
I just installed Pyzor today, (it's in /usr/local/bin/pyzor - there's a
symlink from /usr/bin/pyzor -> /usr/local/bin/pyzor tho) and SA doesn't
see it.
Where does it look for it? Or, how can I tell SA exactly where Pyzor is?
Thanks!

If you have Razor 2.20 installed, you have to tell SA where Pyzor/DCC is

existing blacklists to check out the ips of urls in

If you're running a reasonably new version (ie: 2.43)
man Mail::SpamAsassin::Conf:
pyzor_path STRING
This option tells SpamAssassin specifically where to find the
pyzor client instead of relying on SpamAssassin to find it in
the current PATH.

Hmm, are you actually invoking spamassassin as different users, or always
as the same user, ie always root via a milter in your MTA?
Note that the user_prefs file is only read for the user that invokes SA,
not for the user addresses in the emails.
If you're invoking SA as a single user all the
IMO, it's best to let any daemon run standalone...too much start time
necessary to start it via inetd.
That notwithstanding, I'm not even sure that spamd would take to starting
via inetd/xinetd. But I've seen little overhead from running spamd
standalone. The spamc processing can take some ti

Hi All,
I've been using SpamAssassin2-31 before but due to dying issues, I recently
upgrade my SpamAssassin to 2.50cvs and it works fine. Recently, I
encountered problems with my mails and some of my users can't check their
emails using pop3 and I started to investigate the problem.
This is what
