First question: I have the standard Shupp toaster installed and running on a production machine, along with maildrop and spamassisan. I'd like to add a virus scanner, and see that I can use clamav or simscan. From the looks of it, simscan looks to be more popular among toaster users. Are there any issues or gotchas I might run into while trying to install simscan into an existing toaster set up on a RHEL 3.0 box? Or can I just follow the toaster to install and configure it and go? I really don't want to do anything that might render the mail services on this box unusable for any long period of time.
Second question: I have spamassisan installed and running. I've been running sa-learn frequently on spam folders where I collect spam not already detected by SA. I run it like this: sa-learn --spam /home/vpopmail/domains/domain.com/user/Maildir/.Spam/cur --showdots -u [EMAIL PROTECTED] and sa-learn --ham /home/vpopmail/domains/domain.com/user/Maildir/cur --showdots -u [EMAIL PROTECTED] It responds with lots of dots and how many messages it has scanned and learned from, which corresponds to the number of messages in the folders. But in the end, SA doesn't seem to be learning from these spam emails, as I've gotten and learned the same spam mail dozens of times in the last few days, and sa-learned them, but they're still getting through with a 0.0 SA spam score in the headers. When I look in /var/log/spamd/current, I'm getting this error: Cannot open bayes databases /etc/mail/spamassassin/.spamassassin/bayes_* R/O: tie failed: Permission denied And here are the permissions of that directory: -rw------- 1 root root 220 Sep 2 14:16 bayes.lock.piper.wghe.net.1406 -rw------- 1 root root 2720 Sep 2 14:18 bayes.lock.piper.wghe.net.1481 -rw------- 1 root root 441 Sep 2 14:09 bayes.lock.piper.wghe.net.31604 -rw------- 1 root root 105 Sep 2 14:10 bayes.lock.piper.wghe.net.31763 -rw------- 1 root root 105 Sep 2 14:10 bayes.lock.piper.wghe.net.31916 -rw------- 1 root root 189 Sep 2 14:10 bayes.lock.piper.wghe.net.31947 -rw------- 1 root root 462 Sep 2 14:11 bayes.lock.piper.wghe.net.32015 -rw------- 1 root root 4347 Sep 2 14:14 bayes.lock.piper.wghe.net.32223 -rw------- 1 vpopmail vchkpw 4984832 Sep 13 20:50 bayes_seen -rw------- 1 root root 5459968 Sep 13 20:50 bayes_toks -rw------- 1 root root 2768896 Sep 2 14:09 bayes_toks.expire31433 Doing a ps aux|grep spamd shows spamd running as root: root 6185 0.0 0.0 1376 84 ?
