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 I found on my popper.log (pop3):
---snip---
Dec 3 15:21:36.354 2002 [5663] username1 at 192.168.1.1 (192.168.1.1): -ERR
[SYS/PERM] Unable to process From lines (envelopes), change recognition
modes or check for corrupted mail drop.
---snip--
So I checked the mailbox of the username1 (/var/spool/mail/username1) and
the header from is not complete, it is something like this:
rom [EMAIL PROTECTED] Wed Dec 3 12:09:35 2002
Return-Path: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Received: from username1 (username1.mydomain.com [192.168.1.105])
--- snip-----
As you can see, "F" is lack in the header from section of the mail. So If I
add an "F" in the header from, checking mail (pop3) works.
So I checked again the maillog and this is what I've found:
---snip---

Dec 3 16:10:21 mailserver spamc[6790]: connect() to spamd at 127.0.0.1
failed, retrying (1/3): Connection refused
---snip---
I decided to restart the SpamAssassin using my SpamAssassin start/stop
script, and from the ps ax result:
6855 ? S 0:01 /usr/bin/spamd -d -c -a
Now I tried to send an email to this user and it works.
btw, here is my procmailrc file in /etc:
DROPPRIVS=yes
#LOGFILE=/var/log/procmail.log
#VERBOSE=ON
#COMPANY=MyCompany
:0fw
| /usr/bin/spamc -f
:0e
{
EXITCODE=$?
}
I would like to ask, if ever that SpamAssassin dies or malfunctioning, is
there a way to let the emails still pass through without checking from
SpamAssassin?, It seems that this problem occurs while SpamAssassin is up
and running. This would be a huge problem if the mailserver proccess a
thousands of mail everyday.
I really appriciate your help and suggestions regarding this problem and
thanks in advance
regards,
glynn
