Hi all, Apologies for the long post but I really like being able to filter spam and would like to get this fixed.
Exim 3.30 Spamassassin 2.20 Debian Linux 2.2r6 I hope someone may have an idea whats going wrong here. I've searched the Exim list archive and can find only one other person who had a problem similar to this, and his fix won't work in this case I feel. Having given up on Razor as ineffective I thought I'd try out Spamassassin to see if it is any better, and it is! I have got SA up and running and it is currently catching much more spam than Razor did, but I have an intermitent problem. Occasionally a mail fails when passing through the following transport. spamcheck: driver = pipe command = /usr/exim/bin/exim -oMr spam-scanned -bS -d9 transport_filter = /usr/bin/spamc bsmtp = all home_directory = "/tmp" current_directory = "/tmp" user = mail group = mail return_path_add = false log_output = true return_fail_output = true prefix = suffix = # Adding header, we will check for this header in the system filter. If # the header is set we will not copy the mail to archive, this stops # duplicate copies of mails. Otherwise the mail would be copied again on # its return from being scanned by spamc. headers_add = "X-Spam-Checked: True" path = /usr/bin:/bin:/usr/lib I've added the -d9 to the command to help in tracking down the problem. When a mail fails I get an entry in the mainlog thus: 2002-07-11 00:00:05 17SQRJ-0004Rf-00 <= [EMAIL PROTECTED] H=(localhost) [127.0.0.1] P=esmtp S=1470 [EMAIL PROTECTED] T="IPChains details from 10.07.2002" 2002-07-11 00:00:05 17SQRJ-0004Rf-00 => archive <message filter> D=localuser T=local_delivery 2002-07-11 00:05:05 17SQRJ-0004Rf-00 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: spamcheck transport output: Exim version 3.30 debug level 9 uid=8 gid=8 2002-07-11 00:05:05 17SQRJ-0004Rf-00 ** [EMAIL PROTECTED] D=spamcheck_director T=spamcheck: Child process of spamcheck transport returned 2 from command: /usr/exim/bin/exim 2002-07-11 00:05:05 17SQRJ-0004Rf-00 Error message sent to [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2002-07-11 00:05:05 17SQRJ-0004Rf-00 Completed 2002-07-11 00:05:05 17SQW9-0004Sf-00 <= <> R=17SQRJ-0004Rf-00 U=exim P=local S=3266 T="Mail delivery failed: returning message to sender" 2002-07-11 00:05:06 17SQW9-0004Sf-00 => [EMAIL PROTECTED] R=smarthost T=remote_smtp H=mailhost.dircon.co.uk [194.112.32.65] 2002-07-11 00:05:06 17SQW9-0004Sf-00 Completed The returned message includes the following debug info which doesn't mean an awfull lot to me.

The rest of the batch was abandoned. search_tidyup called 554 Unexpected end of file Transaction started in line 0 Error detected in line 3 The mail server processes around 150-200 mails a day and I get a problem with maybe 8-10 of them. Could this be an Exim problem or a Spamassassin problem? Any ideas gratefully received. If I can't fix this I may have to just put up with spam and I don't really want that :-( Simon Barr Systems Engineer Chelsing Assemblies Ltd Tel: 01992 554-566 Fax: 01992 553-644 E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek PC Mods, Computing goodies, cases & more http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ Spamassassin-talk mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/spamassassin-talk
