I've been trying to get spamassassin to work with my working Postfix mailserver and have tried long enough that I am afraid that I need to ask for help. Help!
I am including below my best attempt at full details: I've successfully installed spamassassin % spamassassin -V SpamAssassin version 3.1.0 running on Perl version 5.8.6 and verified that my header_rewrite rule works with /usr/bin/spamassassin -D < sample-spam.txt I'd like to get spamd to insert the same header, but I can't get it to work, and can't get any useful clues from searching docs and wikis. I tried the advice on http://wiki.apache.org/spamassassin/IntegratedSpamdInPostfix I created a user with name spamassassin and edited master.cf so that it contains smtp inet n - n - - smtpd -o content_filter=spamassassin and spamassassin unix - n n - - pipe user=spamassassin argv=/usr/bin/spamc -e /sw/sbin/sendmail -oi -f ${sender} ${recipient} I've launched spamd with sudo: sudo spamd and can see that it is there: % ps -aux | grep spam root 19453 0.0 -1.0 42876 21456 p3 S 4:40PM 0:11.13 /usr/bin/perl -T -w /usr/bin/spamd root 19455 0.0 -0.1 42416 1656 p3 S 4:40PM 0:00.12 spamd child root 19456 0.0 -0.1 42416 1604 p3 S 4:40PM 0:00.08 spamd child I hoped this would work, but it doesn't. Mail comes in (here is a typical log) but doesn't appear to be getting the header_rewrite mail.log: Feb 13 16:40:58 pruffle spamd[19453]: spamd: server started on port 783/tcp (running version 3.1.0) (the above is the last message from spamd) : : Feb 14 12:40:53 pruffle postfix/smtpd[20557]: connect from fort-point-station.mit.edu[18.7.7.76] Feb 14 12:40:53 pruffle postfix/smtpd[20557]: 3590513E8C8: client=fort-point-station.mit.edu[18.7.7.76] Feb 14 12:40:53 pruffle postfix/cleanup[20554]: 3590513E8C8: message-id=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Feb 14 12:40:53 pruffle postfix/qmgr[20527]: 3590513E8C8: from=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, size=5923, nrcpt=1 (queue active) Feb 14 12:40:53 pruffle postfix/smtpd[20557]: disconnect from fort-point-station.mit.edu[18.7.7.76] Feb 14 12:40:53 pruffle postfix/local[20559]: 3590513E8C8: to=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, relay=local, delay=0, status=sent (delivered to mailbox) Feb 14 12:40:53 pruffle postfix/cleanup[20554]: 68E5113E8C9: message-id=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Feb 14 12:40:53 pruffle postfix/local[20559]: 3590513E8C8: to=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, relay=local, delay=0, status=sent (forwarded as 68E5113E8C9) Feb 14 12:40:53 pruffle postfix/qmgr[20527]: 68E5113E8C9: from=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, size=6058, nrcpt=1 (queue active) Feb 14 12:40:53 pruffle postfix/qmgr[20527]: 3590513E8C8: removed o Thanks for any advice! Craig Carter PS: I've also tried following the simple example in FILTER_README with # Specify your content filter here. spamassassin <in.$$ didn't work either, even though the script seems to be behaving propoerly..
