I'm a complete newcommer to SpamAssassin and I've been a list-member
only since Friday, so please go easy on me if I'm breaking any list
protocols. I'm running the DirectAdmin Control Panel
(http://www.directadmin.com/) and have set up their SpamAssassin
installation according to their instructions.
It doesn't work properly and it appears as if no-one at DirectAdmin
understands it; when I wrote for advice I got a reply about training it
first. But I know enough about SpamAssassin to know the headers show
it isn't performing any of it's tests.
For example, every incoming email I get does have the following headers
(this is an example from one of my incoming emails, with the actual
email address and third-party identification obscured):
<snip>
Received: from mail by da1.ns-one.net with spam-scanned (Exim 3.36 #1)
id 1A6WQs-0006GZ-00
for [EMAIL PROTECTED]; Mon, 06 Oct 2003 07:33:57 -0700
Received: from [216.220.10.1] (helo=ns1.example.com)
by da1.ns-one.net with esmtp (Exim 3.36 #1)
id 1A6WQs-0006GW-00
for [EMAIL PROTECTED]; Mon, 06 Oct 2003 07:33:54 -0700
</snip>
But none of them have any of the SpamAssassin headers (as I see in the
mail through this list).
<snip>
X-Spam-Score: -1.0 (-)
X-Spam-Report: -1.0/5.0
Spam Filtering performed by sourceforge.net.

IN_REP_TO (-0.5 points) Has a In-Reply-To header
USER_AGENT_PINE (0.0 points) Message-Id indicates a non-spam
MUA (Pine)
QUOTED_EMAIL_TEXT (-0.5 points) BODY: Contains what looks like
a quoted email text
</snip>
I'm using Exim 3.36, and SpamAssassin version 2.55, as supplied by
DirectAdmin.
The instructions from DirectAdmin said to use the configuration program
at:
http://www.yrex.com/spam/spamconfig.php
and to write the file to:
/etc/mail/spamassassin/local.cf
Which is what I did. I get the results I show in the first snippet
above, but nothing else.
Can you give me an idea of what I did wrong? I'm not posting the
local.cf or the exim config file to this list; I'm not sure if it's
allowed or not, but I'll be happy to do so if necessary for anyone to
help me.
It's become clear to me that the DirectAdmin folk don't know anything at
all about SpamAssassin and my request for help to their support forum
has gotten me no replies from anyone, so I hope someone here can help
me.
I have a DirectAdmin test system I can offer for anyone to look at who
might be interested in helping.
Thanks in advance for any of your thoughts.
Jeff
