My apologies for the long post. I had (at one time) SA running on RH 8.0 and using /etc/procmailrc to send all tagged spam to a single spam mailbox located in /var/spool/mail/sharedspam. Since then I have reinstalled RedHat (yeah i know, shoulda saved config files etc) and now I am trying to set this up again but having a heck of a time. SA is working fine tagging the emails, but procmail isnt moving the spams over to /var/spool/mail/sharedspam. I have tried numerous recipies in /etc/procmailrc and the one that I used before (successfully) is pasted below. Unfortunately now something is hosed because i am getting all kinds of lock errors in procmail. I know this isnt really an SA issue, but i thought maybe someone has had this problem before.
Here are the errors i am getting
procmail: Error while writing to "/var/log/procmail.log"
Well straight off the bat, it seems you've got a permissions problem with procmail - what user is procmail running as ? In older versions of sendmail - 8.11 and earlier, procmail is run as root, so there is no reason why it shouldn't be able to write to /var/log/procmail.log
procmail: [20588] Thu Jul 3 16:10:09 2003 procmail: Assigning "FORMAIL=/usr/bin/formail" procmail: Assigning "SENDMAIL=/usr/sbin/sendmail" procmail: Locking "spamassassin.lock" procmail: Executing "/usr/bin/spamc" procmail: [20588] Thu Jul 3 16:10:10 2003 procmail: Unlocking "spamassassin.lock" procmail: No match on "^X-Spam-Level: \*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*$ABYSS" procmail: Missing action procmail: Match on "^X-Spam-Status: Yes" procmail: Locking "/var/spool/mail/sharedspam.lock" procmail: Error while writing to "/var/spool/mail/_sBF,xuJB_.ratbert.rhumphrey."
Same error here.
Track down why it can't write to these files and you'll probably solve 90% of your problem.
