Hi,

I mentioned earlier that i thought i had found the problem (as user defang /usr/local/bin was not found in the path). Now, i'm not so sure anymore that this is the real problem. i noticed in the --lint output this line:
[419] dbg: util: running in taint mode? yes
[419] dbg: util: taint mode: deleting unsafe environment variables, resetting PATH

I assume this is because it's running with --lint, i don't know. anyway, i created links to /usr/bin, and now spamassassin --lint -D running as user defang does all the checks that it should do. But when i restart mimedefang (I even rebooted the server just to be sure !), still no mention of razor, dcc or pyzor

Fact of the matter is that we call spamassassin via mimedefang, that is via perl. Now I don't know much about the internals of how mimedefang invokes spamassassin, but i do know that it's not the same as running the spamassassin executable.

What I would need, is a way to debug spamassassin when it's called via mimedefang, so that I know why it would skip certain checks. Currently, I don't know how to do that. My perl skills are not adequate enough to figure this one out.

Please help me.

thx,
tom.

Tom,

you may want to cross-post this to the mimedefang list. it's likely someone there may also be able to help you.

I also run mimedefang but I haven't experienced these types of problems.
you may want to log in as the defang user and check the path and see if there are any suspect entries in your path.

also, if you don't have a recent version of razor installed, I know there were issues with older versions running in taint mode so maybe it's related to that.

what does your mimedefang-filter file look like? have you checked the Changelog and all the required COMPATIBILITY warnings when upgrading mimedefang?

HTH
