Okay, now I've had a couple of hours off and I can see straight again. I am sure that I am making this way harder than it seems however, I am not sure where I went wrong. First of all I am running RedHat 7.3 with Postfix 2.0.16. (postfix by itself runs great and passes all the traffic I can throw at it while keeping the mailq at less than 10 messages consistantly). I have installed SpamAssassin 2.61 using CPAN. Install went without a hitch, everything seemed hunkydory, then things got messy. There are at least 2 problems that I know of for sure. I have pasted the lines from the maillog below (the lines were created while running spamd -d -D -u filter). While running through SpamAssassin my mailq kept climbing, I finally cut off spamassassin after the queue was over 7000 to let the messages go through again. The wierd thing is that in the maillog I would get:
Dec 16 15:00:49 nabu postfix/pipe[18477]: 48DFF232F7E: to=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, relay=filter, delay=450, status=sent (dummy) and Dec 16 20:16:00 nabu postfix/smtp[26223]: DF035232E98: to=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, relay=204.189.82.5[204.189.82.5], delay=2, status=sent (250 Message queued) so it looks like mail is going through...yet my queue kept growing and no mail came in...or at least not very fast if at all...so then I thought, could these be the messages that are getting rejected. Here is a log entry of a message that got rejected... Dec 16 17:00:24 nabu postfix/smtp[13661]: B0535232EEA: to=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, relay=204.189.82.5[204.189.82.5], delay=1347, status=bounced (host 204.189.82.5[204.189.82.5] said: 550 unknown user <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> (in reply to RCPT TO command)) By default what does spamassassin do with bounces? Here are some other errors that I am getting: Dec 16 16:00:22 nabu spamd[21371]: debug: received-header: relay 153.85.164.230 trusted? no Dec 16 15:58:05 nabu spamd[20232]: debug: lock: 20232 trying to get lock on /var/spool/filter/.spamassassin/bayes with 8 retries Dec 16 15:58:05 nabu spamd[20217]: debug: lock: 20217 trying to get lock on /var/spool/filter/.spamassassin/auto-whitelist with 4 retries Thank you to all who sent replied, please let me know what else you may need from me and I will be glad to make it available.
