8 Install Razor, Pyzor And DCC And Configure SpamAssassin

Razor, Pyzor and DCC are spamfilters that use a collaborative filtering network. To install them, run

apt-get install razor pyzor dcc-client

Now we have to tell SpamAssassin to use these three programs. Edit /etc/spamassassin/local.cf so that it looks like this:

# This is the right place to customize your installation of SpamAssassin.
#
# See 'perldoc Mail::SpamAssassin::Conf' for details of what can be
# tweaked.
#
###########################################################################
#

Run

/etc/init.d/amavis restart

afterwards.

Now I want to insert some custom rulesets that can be found on the internet into SpamAssassin. I have tested those rulesets, and they make spam filtering a lot more effective. Create the file /usr/local/sbin/sa_rules_update.sh:

#!/bin/sh

exit 0

chmod 755 /usr/local/sbin/sa_rules_update.sh

Then run that script once, it will fetch those rulesets and insert them into SpamAssassin:

/usr/local/sbin/sa_rules_update.sh

We create a cron job so that those rulesets will be updated regularly. Run

crontab -e

to open the cron job editor. Create following cron job:

23 4 */2 * * /usr/local/sbin/sa_rules_update.sh &> /dev/null

This will update the rulesets every second day at 4.23h.

(Note (a little off-topic): on Debian Sarge crontab -e will automatically open the editor nano. If you are used to working with the editor vi (like me), run the following commands:

rm -f /etc/alternatives/editor
ln -s /usr/bin/vi /etc/alternatives/editor

Afterwards, run crontab -e, and vi will come up.)

9 Quota Exceedance Notifications

If you want to get notifications about all the email accounts that are over quota, then do this:

cd /usr/local/sbin/
wget http://puuhis.net/vhcs/quota.txt
mv quota.txt quota_notify
chmod 755 quota_notify

Open /usr/local/sbin/quota_notify and edit the variables at the top:

my $POSTFIX_CF = "/etc/postfix/main.cf";
my $MAILPROG = "/usr/sbin/sendmail -t";
my $WARNPERCENT = 80;
my @POSTMASTERS = ('postmaster@isp.tld');
my $CONAME = 'ISP.tld';
my $COADDR = 'postmaster@isp.tld';
my $SUADDR = 'postmaster@isp.tld';
my $MAIL_REPORT = 1;
my $MAIL_WARNING = 1;

Run

crontab -e

to create a cron job for that script:

0 0 * * * /usr/local/sbin/quota_notify &> /dev/null

Wget
Submitted by Anonymous (not registered) on Mon, 2005-12-12 06:06.

Wow, that wget command is tedious! Here's what I've got. Wget -q is quiet, -N overwrites the file if they've been changed and -i defines an input file.

% cat /etc/cron.weekly/sa-rules-update
#!/bin/sh
cd /etc/spamassassin && wget -q -N -i /etc/sa-rules-thirdparty

% head -3 /etc/sa-rules-thirdparty
http://www.rulesemporium.com/rules/71_sare_redirect_pre3.0.0.cf
http://www.rulesemporium.com/rules/70_sare_bayes_poison_nxm.cf
http://www.rulesemporium.com/rules/70_sare_html.cf

Cheers,

Guillaume

You need to remove a line from the sa_rules_update.sh
Submitted by dbennett (registered user) on Mon, 2008-01-28 04:15.

You need to remove a line from the /usr/local/sbin/sa_rules_update.sh file if you use this script with any of the newer versions of spamassassin.  Delete the file /etc/spamassassin/antidrug.cf and then

REMOVE THIS LINE:

cd /etc/spamassassin/ &> /dev/null && /usr/bin/wget http://mywebpages.comcast.net/mkettler/sa/antidrug.cf -O antidrug.cf &> /dev/null

You have to send that user an email first. The mailbox is created when the first email arrives, and then you can use POP3 without errors.

I got error: "-ERR Maildir: No such file or directory"
Submitted by Anonymous (not registered) on Wed, 2005-11-16 10:50.

I sent a mail and the directory structure exists but I do still have this error message in Outlook ans sqwebmail. Permissions are set to 700 for user accounts. I tried ehlo howtoforge.com; same results as in howto. tried in shell "mail from:<test@howtoforge.com> ; 250-OK rcpt to:<test@virtual.test> (with existing user in mysql database); 250-OK data; 250-OK with comments between <...>; This is a test email. .; Mail queued... quit "

I receive the mail in my directory and everything works fine. If I try to connect to server using pop or imap (sqwebmail) and got this "I got error: "-ERR Maildir: No such file or directory" or "

Unable to open the maildir for this account -- the maildir doesn't exist or has incorrect ownership or permissions."

Some ideas??? Thanks in advance

I had the same error. It was fixed by adding next source

deb http://volatile.debian.org/debian-volatile etch/volatile-sloppy main contrib non-free
and then:

apt-get update
apt-get dist-upgrade

"Now we create a user and group called vmail with the home directory /home/vamil. This is where all mail boxes will be stored."

should be /home/vmail

"Then run that script once, it will fetch those rulesets and insert them into SpamAssassin:"
Does not insert them or i missed something

script to update spamassassain
Submitted by Anonymous (not registered) on Fri, 2006-01-27 00:39.

That update script stubbornly refused to run for me till i realised that pasting into the file using the Webmin file manager pop-up might not be good, so i opened it with vi and all of the line endings had ^M characters.

Got rid of those and it worked like a charm.

Thanks for the great how to!

Matt
