SpamAssassin stops working

Hi Everyone,

I followed falko's guide to setting up postfix / mysql etc. on debian, and then followed the guide to add mailfiltering to it. After just a bit of tinkering it mostly worked properly, until i noticed that at some point SpamAssassin had stopped scanning my emails. As best i can figure it was when i added in the mailfiltering portion of the setup. Virus detection is still working, but not Spam. Anybody have any suggestions?

Are there any errors in your log files?

No, the only mention i see of anything related to spam in the log files is when it tagged somthing as spam.

It does say this when i start amavisd...

Quote:

May 28 03:24:11 localhost amavis[16093]: Module Mail::SpamAssassin 3.000003

It says that among the list of modules....

I checked syslog and mail.log and mail.err, the only error i am seeing is this one:

Quote:

localhost dccproc[16115]: socket(UDP): Address family not supported by protocol

Im not sure what that one means though..

Thanks,

You could try to update to the latest SpamAssassin version. Hopefully that solves the problem...

Can you tell me how to find out what version of spamassassin i am running?

I did this:

Code:

/usr/bin/spamassassin -V

SpamAssassin version 3.0.3

  running on Perl version 5.8.4

But i do not think that is the correct?

I did apt-get upgrade spamassassin and it upgraded a lot of stuff, but that version stayed the same

Code:

apt-get upgrade spamassassin

Reading Package Lists... Done

Building Dependency Tree... Done

The following packages will be upgraded:

  libmysqlclient12 lynx mysql-client mysql-common mysql-server postfix

  postfix-mysql postfix-tls

8 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.

I am seeing this in my headers to my email, but nothing to mention Spam anymore..

Code:

X-Virus-Scanned: by amavisd-new-20030616-p10 (Debian) at localhost

That is the correct way to find out. :)

The packages are not always up to date. If you want the newest version, you must compile it yourself.

nope..

Code:

Jun 3 12:46:58 localhost amavis[778]: Module Mail::SpamAssassin 3.001002

Code:

/usr/bin/spamassassin -V

SpamAssassin version 3.1.2

  running on Perl version 5.8.4

Upgrading to the new version doesnt seem to have done the trick, it does not seem to be invoking spamassassin and doing the scanning anymore. Any other suggestions? Everything else is working perfectly!

Did you maybe change /etc/amavisd.conf before it stopped working?

uhmm..

I do not seem to have an /etc/amavisd.conf file.. i have an /etc/amavisd/amavisd.conf file though.... could that be part of the problem?

Sorry, I meant /etc/amavis/amavisd.conf... Did you change that one recently?
