integrating amavisd-new Into Postfix For Spam- And Virus-Scanning

falko thanks for this howto

at the end of the howto you say that:

'if you like you can now add Razor, Pyzor, and DCC to SpamAssassin to improve its filtering performance. Razor, Pyzor and DCC are spamfilters that use a collaborative filtering network. "

dcc clint is no longer available in debian.
but iI couLD still install razor and pyzor?

the howto is working fine but I do notice that when I start and shutdown my
server it does say something about spamassassin not being configured in /etc/default/spamassassin
since amavisd is taking care of this I suppose it does not matter?

Yes.

You can install DCC as follows:

Code:

cd /tmp

wget http://www.dcc-servers.net/dcc/source/dcc-dccproc.tar.Z

tar xzvf dcc-dccproc.tar.Z

cd dcc-dccproc-1.3.102

./configure --with-uid=amavis

make

make install

chown -R amavis:amavis /var/dcc

ln -s /var/dcc/libexec/dccifd /usr/local/bin/dccifd

In /etc/spamassassin/v310.pre you must enable the following line:

Code:

loadplugin Mail::SpamAssassin::Plugin::DCC

What's in /etc/default/spamassassin?

here is /etc/default/spamassassin

as requested here is the file
it says on boot and shutdown:

spamassassain mail filter daemon disabled see /etc/default/spamassassin

(i made a mistake in my first post I said 'not configured' i ment 'disabled' I think I need to change
ENABLED=0 to ENABLED=1 ?)

# /etc/default/spamassassin
# Duncan Findlay

# WARNING: please read README.spamd before using.
# There may be security risks.

# Change to one to enable spamd
ENABLED=0

# Options
# See man spamd for possible options. The -d option is automatically added.

# SpamAssassin uses a preforking model, so be careful! You need to
# make sure --max-children is not set to anything higher than 5,
# unless you know what you're doing.

OPTIONS="--create-prefs --max-children 5 --helper-home-dir"

# Pid file
# Where should spamd write its PID to file? If you use the -u or
# --username option above, this needs to be writable by that user.
# Otherwise, the init script will not be able to shut spamd down.
PIDFILE="/var/run/spamd.pid"

# Set nice level of spamd
#NICE="--nicelevel 15"

# Cronjob
# Set to anything but 0 to enable the cron job to automatically update
# spamassassin's rules on a nightly basis
CRON=0

Yes, you can change it to ENABLED=1 (although I'm not quite sure now if amavisd connects to spamd or uses the spamassassin program).

I will change ENABLED to 1 see it makes a diffrence-thankyou falko

In the 2nd post of this thread you showed how to install dcc-client from
source but I was wondering if you would look at the bug report below and
see if it affects the source tar ball also?

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=464161

wiseman:)

ps I notice that ubuntu also do not have this package any more

Does the bug report apply the source tar ball?

Any one can answer my question in my lpost no5 in this thread please?

thanks

wiseman:)

You've installed the latest DCC version, so you're not affected by that bug.
