Scalix 11.4 and Spamassasin

[georgew]

Has anyone got any details as to what we now need to do to tie Scalix into Spamassasin as the Upgrade to 11.4 appears to have busted inbound Spamassasin integration.

Thanks in advance.

As stated in the Release Notes, the smtpd.cfg file got overwritten, and the old one backed up to Osmtpd.cfg. You need to manually move the changes from the old file to the new one. SMTPFILTER is no longer needed, as you can set up SA directly in the relay now. There is an example milter configuration in the smtpd.cfg you can use. Just use the same values as in your sendmail.mc.

I did what you said... spamassasin is checking outbound emails but, not inbound, was working fine on 11.3... Somebody please make a suggestion... Thanks...

Please post your smtpd.cfg here, and point out where you made the changes, please?

Too late, I tried and tried and finally decided since SpamA worked while sending (just not when getting email) I simply needed to bypass Scalix smtp relay, here is a tutorial on how to do it: http://swifttide.com/blog/index.php?blo ... b=1#more36 (I am not the guy who wrote it, but it works, so thanks!)

SMTPFILTER=TRUE still works fine in smtpd.cfg

TheDude,
Thats all you had to re-enter in your smtpd.cfg and you would have been filtering both ways.

I am having the same trouble (ie Spamassassin is only working for outgoing mail).

I have SMTPFILTER=TRUE set in smtpd.cfg, however this makes no difference. Does anyone have any thoughts what I can try next?

I have also explored using the INPUT_MAIL_FILTER inside of smtpd.cfg, but that gives an error

ERROR SMTP Relay (SMTPD Relay Pr) 07.15.08 09:21:24
[OM.DMON 2151] Unknown token 'INPUT_MAIL_FILTER(`spamassassin',`S' in config file.

I wish I could tell you how to fix this... I pulled an all nighter, then switched to using sendmail for all indbound and outbound as my radical fix, just so I could bring up my server, now weeks later... still having to use sendmail.

Despite Les's rather smug statement, having SMTPFILTER=TRUE did not work for me at all.

Sorry your having the same problem.

PLEASE list a fix, if you do figure it out. Good luck.

Regards,

The Dude

Despite Les's rather smug statement, having SMTPFILTER=TRUE did not work for me at all.

Sorry, it was not meant to be smug......i don't think it was.

All i was stating was that if SMTPFILTER=TRUE was added back into the smtpd.cfg, which the release notes mentioned, then it would work as it did before.

Certainly for me thats all i've had to do on multiple sites. In effect nothing has changed for the way to get scalix to filter via sendmail using spamassassin/clamav.

The new milter setup in scalix is not yet ready as a replacement for filtering via sendmail. It is only, at the moment, to be used for the commercial Scalix AntiSpam and Scalix ZeroHour AntiVirus.

So the sendmail filter way of doing things.......


in /var/opt/scalix/??/s/sys/smtpd.cfg
SMTPFILTER=TRUE

Note it must appear above all RELAY lines.

then in /etc/mail/sendmail.mc

INPUT_MAIL_FILTER(`spamassassin',`S=local:/var/run/spamass-milter/spamass-milter.sock, F=, T=C:15m;S:4m;R:4m;E:10m')dnl
INPUT_MAIL_FILTER(`clamav', `S=local:/var/clamav/clmilter.socket, F=, T=S:4m;R:4m')dnl
define(`confINPUT_MAIL_FILTERS', `spamassassin,clamav')dnl

ofcourse your socket locations may be different, depending on which RPM's you use.

I get clamav from rpmforge (DAG) and i use spamass-milter from fedora repositories because it contains a wrapper script and sets up a user, sa-milt, which runs spamass-milter. The DAG rpms for spamass-milter do not do this.

ftp://ftp.univie.ac.at/systems/linux/fe ... 8.i386.rpm

after that...

make -C /etc/mail
service sendmail restart
omoff -d0 smtpd
omon smtpd

ofcourse you need to have clamd and spamassassin running etc etc.

If you need more help with this setup let me know.

[jakeFCT]

Thank you both gentlemen.

Sorry TheDude, I will have to agree with Les. It turned out to be a mistake on my behalf.

Instead of:

SMTPFILTER=TRUE

I had:

SMTPMILTER=TRUE

Correcting my mistake returned the server operation back to normal (ie incoming mail went through spamassassin).

One interesting point I found in the forums is that the 11.4 upgrade saves the old smtpd.cfg file as Osmtpd.cfg. It looks like you could replace the 11.4 smtpd.cfg file with the 11.3 smtpd.cfg, without any ill effects. (Please note that I have not tried this, this is only an observation)

Glad to see you got it sorted ;)

p.s. the Osmtpd.cfg file change was noted in the release notes for 11.4, Valerion mentioned that earlier in this thread.

i wouldn't just copy the old one in place, i'd merge the settings across. Normally all i edit is SMTPFILTER and some RELAY lines, so its a quick cut and paste.

hope its all smooth sailing from here on in for you ;)
