| smrsh: spamassassin not available for sendmail programs | 554 5.0.0 Service unavailable | | I'm guessing that maybe one must run spamd to whitelist with an alias | because spamassassin called via the sendmil aliases mechanism can't run | under the user id in this case? | Would it be possible to create a user on the system for whitelisting and | configure that user's .procmailrc and/or .forward file to update the | auto-whitelist.db for the desired user?
As root, type: ln -s /path/to/spamassassin /etc/smrsh/spamassassin What's happening is the SendMail Restricted SHell (smrsh) isn't allowing the alias to execute. From the smrsh man page: It sharply limits the commands that can be run using the ``|program'' syntax of sendmail in order to improve the over all security of your system. Briefly, even if a ``bad guy'' can get sendmail to run a program without going through an alias or forward file, smrsh limits the set of programs that he or she can execute. Which basically means that if there's no symbolic link in the smrsh (/etc/smrsh by default on RH systems), sendmail isn't allowed to execute it. BTW, you don't need to create a real user with the same name as the alias.
