You should get log entries in your /var/log/maillog related to amavisd-new's activity and its calling SA, provided that in your amavisd.conf file, you have: $DO_SYSLOG = 1; # (defaults to false) I have left the next line to its default: #$SYSLOG_LEVEL = 'user.info'; # (defaults to 'mail.info') So make sure that your syslog config file allows levels down to 'info' with facility 'mail' to go to /var/log/maillog (or whatever file name you chose) Also, the amount of logging is set in: $log_level = 3; # (defaults to 0) Then look for lines like: May 30 13:17:29 mail-gate amavis[13670]: (13670-02) spam_scan: hits=7.1 tests=AWL,BAYES_70,HTML_20_30, MAILTO_TO_SPAM_ADDR,MIME_HTML_ONLY,MISSING_OUTLOOK_NAME,RCVD_IN_OSIRUSOFT_COM,US_DOLLARS_3 May 30 13:17:29 mail-gate amavis[13670]: (13670-02) SPAM, <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -> <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, Yes, hits=7.1 tag1=3.0 tag2=5.0 kill=5.0 tests=AWL, BAYES_70, HTML_20_30, MAILTO_TO_SPAM_ADDR, MIME_H TML_ONLY, MISSING_OUTLOOK_NAME, RCVD_IN_OSIRUSOFT_COM, US_DOLLARS_3 I can't see any track of spam being fed to Bayes in my logs (although I know that it is being done). Maybe you have to increase $log_level to actually see it. You can see when Bayes matches spam when there are BAYES_xx words in the list of tests as above. > > > - How do i confirm (or configure) that i am using spamtracking databases, > such as Vipul's Razor and forwarding spam to them ? Look for "RAZOR2_CHECK" in the names above. I don't report spam to them (yet) so I can't tell what the relevant log entries look like. > > > - How do i get more detailed debug info into my maillog ? > Read the doc :-) ... look for comments amove '$log_level' in amavisd.conf > > - What exactly does this command do, and will it change anything after > being run ? (seems like it changes rulesets ?), spamassassin -D --lint > AFAIK it just does a thorough consistency check on your SA configuration, and (because of -D) does it verbosely. It won't change anything. If you use network tests (Razor2, DCC...) it will also test them.
