Topic: procmail, spamassasin and 5.5

[chris meredith]

I have been using:

|/usr/bin/spamc |/usr/bin/maildir ./Maildir

in my .qmail file for a while now and it seems to work fine.  I am running a hacked up 5.1.2.  

Make sure you have safecat (thats where the /usr/bin/maildir program comes from).

So far I am using Spamassassin to tag the mail, then the Outlook rules wizard to seperate it into folders (I pop all my mail, so IMAP folders with procmail isn't an option).  I am also using the .spamassassinrc file to setup per-user whitelists, and to change the score requirements.  Since I setup the whitelists for my distrobution lists and such I might be able to just delete anything tagged as spam.  I am not brave enough yet though.

I also have ipchains rules to reject connections on port 25 from the Asian IP block and Russia.  I am about as spam free as I expect I can get.

Can i use Spamassasin and procmail together the reason i ask is that every time i set-up  a rule inthe user-manager front end it changes the .qmail file back to it default value of ./Maildir/ and removes the |ifspamh steve-isspam,
Is there anyway around this. i have followed the how to on this forum and I have managed to get it working without any problem except this one and the fact that as far as i can work out in the line      if($EmailForward eq "local");    in the     e-smithForward20 it does not like the ; at the end of it. the error message i get is     Program fragment delivered error syntax error at /etc/e-smith/templates-user-custom//.qmail/e-smithForward20 line 25, at EOF
syntax error at /etc/e-smith/templates-user-custom//.qmail/e-smithForward20 line 30, near "}
    elsif"''

Any help would be appreciated.

I have just tried this, and can't get past first post, i get:

error: failed dependencies:
perl(HTML::Parser) is needed by perl-Mail-SpamAssassin-2.42-3

when I try to install the spamassassin RPMs (this is on 5.5).

also tried 2.41 as well - same problem.

I tried to add HTML::Parser using CPAN, but that failed on a "make".  

Anyone got any ideas?

cheers

John,
First of all - thank you for all this great info.  I have installed the latest version of spamassassin on my system and it is working GREAT!  

What I was wondering is if there is an easy way to make this run for all users so that I wouldn't have to modify each one of their .qmail files?

Thank you
Garrett Lindsay

Are you putting in the usersname....
|ifspam david-isspam
./Maildir/.    

Right?

I have been using it for about 6 to 8 months now.
I not too much of a pro on Linux, but it seems to work for me..
