Configure spamassassin

@David :

The easiest thing is to make what I describe on download-sofwares.php :

cd /downloads/deb-packages
dh-make-perl --build --install --cpan 'IP::Country::Fast'

With this method, you can build your own deb package

It supposes that the package dh-make-perl is installed on your system

If you're on ubuntu natty or older, you may require one of the libgeography-countries-perl builds for oneiric in order for libip-country-perl to resolve its dependencies.

Hello Georgi,

I've just done a brand new installation and I confirm the line exist on /etc/spamassassin/v320.pre

Check the line 53

Heya again,

The line:

loadplugin Mail::SpamAssassin::Plugin::Rule2XSBody
is not contained in /etc/spamassassin/v320.pre
One have to include it by copy pasting in the file.

I've tested with spamassassin --lint and it works fine after copy/pasting. Maybe its a good idea if it is fixed in the tutorial.

Greetings

Georgi

Sorry Alexey, it was my only idea (but your question is really interresting and I hope finding a solution )

I tried different options in my /service/qmail-smtpdssl/run But even if I set

export RELAYCLIENT=""

emails are scanned by qms and SA. :-(

According to http://qmail.jms1.net/patches/combined.shtml this feature is not on TODO list of John M. Simpson. :-) He advices to use AUTH_RELAYCLIENT="" instead. I'm not sure if he doesn't mean AUTH_SET_RELAYCLIENT. But both options are not included in the run-file. :-(

He warns to be aware that the RELAYCLIENT environment variable is used for more than just granting permission to relay. (Read the man page for qmail-smtpd (i.e. run "man qmail-smtpd" on your system) for more details.)

Do you know what he means?

Hello Alexey,

Your question is interresting but to be honnest at first sight I really don't known how to do it.

My first approach consist to try decreasing the SA score ... but your approach is better.

Nevertheless on Qmail-scanner FAQ I have read :

Qmail-Scanner will only pass the message to SpamAssassin if it originates from an external (non-local) SMTP client. This is defined by whether or not the standard Qmail RELAYCLIENT environment variable is set. i.e. if the mail originates locally, it isn't scanned by SA. This is done for performance reasons and to cut down on false positives (i.e. your local users will never complain that their email is being classified as spam :-) If you explicitly want to scan some/all local SMTP clients email too, then set QS_SPAMASSASSIN="1" within the tcpserver rules file."

My second approach (deducted from this FAQ) is try modifying the file /service/qmail-smtpd/run (online version)  by adding 

export RELAYCLIENT=""

on line 310 (just after

ARGS=" $LOCAL $CHECKPW $TRUE"

)

But I'm not sure of this solution and I currently have no time to test it

Thank you for this wonderfull manual.

Is there a way to tell qmail-smtpd oder qmail-scanner not to scan the emails which are delivered from the mail client with successfull AUTH ? Otherwise there is a risk that some of them will be kicked out by SA or other scans.

So a standard email send by Outlook gets at least 3.4 point from SA.

@Luc : C'est "normal" ... 

Ca fait un temps fou que les bugs suivants sont ouverts chez Debian :

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=483359

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=338352

Ceci dit, ça n'empêche pas spamassassin de fonctionner

salut,

je trouve ca dans mes logs

spamassassin need to be started at reboot :

 update-rc.d spamassasin start 75 2 3 4 5 .

Thank you for your guide. A wonderfull one !

Hello Mark, you 're right. It was a typo in my post

So the right command is

dpkg -i /downloads/deb-packages/libencode-detect-perl_1.01-1_ARCH.deb

(in my case libencode-detect-perl_1.01-1_amd64.deb)

I had to add 1.01_1_i386.deb to the final line in Thib's post to install the package.  That is correct, isn't it?

Important note :

To achieve Goofy'suggestion on Debian

cd /downloads/deb-packages
dh-make-perl --build --install --cpan 'Encode::Detect'

dpkg -i /downloads/deb-packages/libencode-detect-perl

To have the charset encoder work with spamassin use "apt-get install libencode-detect-perl."
