 |

Hi!
I upgraded to spam-assassin 2.50 some days ago and now
all the spam floods my mailbox again. -> spamd does not work any
more = no header added, spam not killed ;(
I use exiscan from exim 4.12 and the mail.log says:
Mar 9 13:40:56 phoenix spamd[19066]: connection from localhost [127.0.0.1] at port 39119
Mar 9 13:40:56 phoenix spamd[27177]: Still running as root: user not specified with -u, not found, or set to root. Fall back to nobody.
Mar 9 13:40:56 phoenix spamd[27177]: checking message <20030309121137.D371B156F7@xxx.de> for (unknown):65534.
Mar 9 13:40:56 phoenix spamd[27177]: clean message (0.0/5.0) for (unknown):65534 in 0.5 seconds, 927 bytes.
Mar 9 13:40:56 phoenix exim[21662]: [1\17] 2003-03-09 13:40:56 18s06p-0005dO-00 exiscan: temporary local problem with spamd facility (cannot parse spamd output)
What could be the problem?
Thanks in advance,
Andreas |

the version of exiscan in the exim-4.12 ebuild is outdated and doesn't work with spamassassin 2.50.
luckily, it's easy to fix. first create a portage overlay directory (if you haven't already done so).
| Code: | | mkdir -p /usr/local/portage/net-mail/exim |
and make sure you uncomment the "portage_overlay=/usr//local/portage" in your make.conf.
then copy the exim-4.12 ebuild into that directory, appending an "-r1" to the end.
| Code: | | cp /usr/portage/net-mail/exim/exim-4.12.ebuild /usr/local/portage/net-mail/exim/exim-4.12-r1.ebuild |
edit the line in exim-4.12-r1.ebuld that specifies the version of exiscan to use (it's right near the top). the latest version is 26. i believe you need at least version 25 to ise spamassasin 2.50.
| Code: | | EXISCAN_VER=${PV}-26 |
now just:
and it should recompile exim with the newer exiscan.
make sure you check the exiscan web site to get info on the configuration changes. some options have been added and others modified.
cheers!
