Dear sirs,

        I'm sorry for my bad english, and I don't know if this is the
right mailinglist.

For a long time that I ran spamassassin 3.1.[4-8] on a mail server Linux Box with sendmail 8.13 and mimedefang (I think it is the release 2.5.1). Spamassassin and Mimedefang ran very smoothly. Monday I upgraded spamassassin at release 3.2.3. I didn't change the configuration file of Mimedefang or the /etc/rc.d/rc.spamd
Apparently SA runs fine, but now in my directory /tmp I find a lot of
temp file:

-rw-------   1 defang   defang  12050 Aug 23 11:35 .spamassassin11330XE1csYtmp
-rw-------   1 defang   defang  12050 Aug 23 11:35 .spamassassin11330gc0Wdvtmp
-rw-------   1 defang   defang  11976 Aug 23 11:40 .spamassassin66725Ogvc3tmp

In the maillog I cannot find errors. Mails are delivered at the users and mails with score >5 and <15 are delivered in a mailbox for the spam. Apparently the system runs fine.

Mimedefang runs as uid defang and group defang, spamd runs as mail.

Somebody can help me? I can delete the tempfiles from the cron, but above all, I want be sure that I don't loss the mails.

I include the spamassassin -D --lint

Best wishes!

Indeed it's mimedefang.  Upgrade to version 2.63.  Here's the change log:

* mimedefang-multiplexor.c: Relax the umask when creating the unprivileged socket ("-a" command-line option.) * mimedefang.c(eom): If we do not have a queue ID yet, try to obtain one in eom. This is designed to improve operation with Postfix, which does not assign a queue ID until after the first successful RCPT. Based on a patch from Henrik Krohns. * examples/init-script.in: Added MD_SKIP_BAD_RCPTS init script option (suggested by John Nemeth)
  * Remove support for OpenAntivirus. It's a dead product.
* mimedefang.pl.in(spam_assassin_status): Call $mail->finish() to prevent temporary files from accumulating. * redhat/mimedefang-init.in: Add configtest routine to check filter syntax.
