hi there,

since i merged mail-filter/procmail-3.22-r7 my system is screwed up. no spam check, no procmail filtering.

so i remerged exim with exiscan-acl support, added some stuff into my exim.conf and -- nothing. okay, more than nothing
i added "| /usr/bin/procmail" into my .forward so procmail runs now. and spamd runs now, i added

acl_smtp_rcpt = acl_check_rcpt
acl_smtp_data = acl_check_content
spamd_address = 127.0.0.1 783
.

but: spamassassin does not what i want, more precisely i dont understand what he does.

my mails look now like that
[header snipped]

X-Spam-Level: -4.2 (----)
X-Spam-Status: Spam detection software, running on the system "foo.local", has
identified this incoming email as possible spam. The original message
has been attached to this so you can view it (if it isn't spam) or label
similar future email. If you have any questions, see
the administrator of that system for details.

before that my mails looked like this:
[snip]

X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 3.0.4-gr0 (2005-06-05) on foo.local
X-Spam-Level:

[snap]


why does SA attach the original mail? it is no spam at all, but SA say it is.
i'm confused.

the interesring part of the exim.conf is this, isn't it?

[....]
warn message = X-Spam-Level: $spam_score ($spam_bar)
spam = nobody:true
warn message = X-Spam-Status: $spam_report
spam = nobody:true

# Add X-Spam-Flag if spam is over system-wide threshold
warn message = X-Spam-Flag: YES
spam = nobody

# finally accept all the rest
accept

[...]


btw: i don't use clamav.



thx for any suggestions

okay found the mistake:

spam = nobody:true

is a side effect, read in exim doku

Quote:
"spam" condition for its side effects (see the variables below), you can make
it always return 'true' by appending ":true" to the username.


never mindd
