Spamassassin/ SUSE 10/ Scalix 10.0.1

[zoobarb]

OK, I have tried to find this and I have gone through the one example or how-to for this setup. I did not do the setup for SUSE as I have seen multiple posts that state 2 IPs are no longer required.

Everyone posting for spamassassin seem to be using FC4. With SUSE 10.0 I do not have a specific milter package. So, upon completing the setup things look great except.

Jun 5 16:25:49 sanfrancisco sendmail[2634]: k55KPnZa002634: Milter (spamassassin): local socket name /var/run/spamass.sock unsafe

This is just a quick snip.... there is no sock file...none what-so-ever.. When I add it to the /etc/sysconfig/spamd file ... there are no more complaints by the system but all mail gets "stuck" ... I see the first line where the remote server connects and then nothing.. the mail is never (I say never, I only gave it about 60 seconds) delivered until I stop spamd....

Any direction or insight is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Mike

The commented line is what I tried with spamd startup in /etc/sysconfig/spamd - no luck
#SPAMD_ARGS="-d -c -L --socketpath=/var/run/spamass.sock"
SPAMD_ARGS="-d -c -L"

I did this...except I used nano...
Make a copy of the current configuration file.
# cp /var/opt/scalix/sys/smtpd.cfg /var/opt/scalix/sys/smtpd.cfg.orig
Open the configuration file with your favorite text editor, in the example we use vi.
# vi /var/opt/scalix/sys/smtpd.cfg
Add this line: SMTPFILTER=TRUE

Then as per the how-to
Backup the sendmail.cf #cp /etc/mail/sendmail.cf /etc/mail/sendmail.cf.orig
Edit /etc/mail/sendmail.cf and make the following changes:
Change OperatorChars from: O OperatorChars=.:%@!^/[]+=
To O OperatorChars=.:%@!^/[]+
Uncomment the line: #O InputMailFilters
and change it to: O InputMailFilters=Spamassassin
Immediately below that line, add the following (the font size is smaller to preserve formatting): # Milter options #O Milter.LogLevel O Milter.macros.connect=b, j, _, {daemon_name}, {if_name}, {if_addr} O Milter.macros.helo={tls_version}, {cipher}, {cipher_bits}, {cert_subject}, {cert_issuer} O Milter.macros.envfrom=i, {auth_type}, {auth_authen}, {auth_ssf}, {auth_author}, {mail_mailer}, {mail_host}, {mail_addr} O Milter.macros.envrcpt={rcpt_mailer}, {rcpt_host}, {rcpt_addr}
In the section MAIL FILTER DEFINITIONS, add the following line:
Xspamassassin, S=local:/var/run/spamass.sock, F=, T=C:15m;S:4m;R:4m;E:10m

Two differences for my setup.. my sendmail.cf is in /etc/ and not in /etc/mail
and when spamd is launched there is NO spamass.sock file created... as per my note above I attempted to pass the parameter about where to create the sock file but it does not work.

The rest of the how-to simply directs someone to ensure the service is set to launch on boot.... spamass-milter is listed, which SUSE 10.0 does not have.

What else should I include here or read?

Many thanks,
Mike

You have to install spamass-milter. See this thread: http://www.scalix.com/community/viewtopic.php?t=2494&highlight=spamassmilter

checking whether strsep is declared... yes
checking whether daemon is declared... yes
checking for mi_stop in -lmilter... no
checking for library containing strlcpy... no
checking for mi_stop in -lmilter... no
configure: error: Cannot find libmilter
sanfrancisco:/tmp/spamass-milter-0.3.1 #


I tried to look for this when installing software via yast...no luck. I hit the milter website and saw nothing about dependancies.... in the support section someone else had the same issue..


Aw shucks... it is part of the sendmail sources .... need to go get those and try again...sorry.

Ok, that was a simple fix....

it appears to need to tweaking and a proper script for launching, but it does appear to be working....

Thanks for the help! ... should this be updated in the docs - the non-SUSE how-to doesn't mention building spamass-milter and the SUSE specific one mentions it can be downloaded from scalix but I was unable to find it there.
