Spamassassin not working - ISPConfig v2.2.39 / CentOS 5.6 / postfix

[Fairbanks]

I’m running an ISPConfig server over CentOS 5.6. I followed the perfect setup from ISPConfig.org but now running the platform for a few weeks and trying to setup mail account with SPAM / Virus, I realize that those filters are not working (I do not get any effect regardless of what I do in the config panel e.g. re-write, discard, score changes, …).

Please, let me know what kind of info you need for diagnosis purposes as I don’t even know where to start…

Thanks,

Are there any errors in your mail log (in the /var/log/ directory)?

[Fairbanks]

Not that I see (or not obvious). There's something about "Freshclam" updating ClamAV signatures. Other then that, regular connect/disconnect as mails are routed.

What am I looking for...

Do you get any errors when you run:

/home/admispconfig/ispconfig/tools/spamassassin/usr/bin/spamassassin --lint

you might also want to run this command to update the spamassassin rules:

/home/admispconfig/ispconfig/tools/spamassassin/usr/bin/sa-update

Below is what I got (I ran the update after getting the first warning). Something to worry about "the Line 65" message...

[root ~]# /home/admispconfig/ispconfig/tools/spamassassin/usr/bin/spamassassin --lint
Subroutine IO::Socket::INET6::AF_INET6 redefined at /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.8/Exporter.pm line 65.
at /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.8/IO/Socket/INET6.pm line 16
config: no rules were found! Do you need to run 'sa-update'?
[root ~]# /home/admispconfig/ispconfig/tools/spamassassin/usr/bin/sa-update
[root ~]# /home/admispconfig/ispconfig/tools/spamassassin/usr/bin/spamassassin --lint
Subroutine IO::Socket::INET6::AF_INET6 redefined at /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.8/Exporter.pm line 65.
at /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.8/IO/Socket/INET6.pm line 16
[root@ns1 ~]#

The rules were missing, I think it should work now after the sa-update run even with the line 65 error.

Thanks "for now" Till. It won't be long before I see Spam coming my way, so I will let you know shorthly if things are better or not.

Should I CRON this update or is it done thru regular ISPConfig processes ?...

[till]

You can create a cronjob for that.

[Fairbanks]

Well - THANKS Till.

I got an email re-written to "[*** SPAM ***]-[Score 17.8]" ...

I can now play with the ISPConfig setup and finetune what I want to do with those eMails (discard, or accept and flush with Outlook...).

Thanks Again.
