So I've got exim/amavis working great for sending/receiving mail to/from
virtual accounts and virtual domains, and scanning them for viruses and
being happy..
My next task was to get spamassassin working. I've followed the docs on
spamassassin.org and put in the following transport and director:
(yes I know they're commented out heh)
transport -
#spamcheck:
# driver = pipe
# command = /usr/sbin/exim -oMr spam-scanned -bS
# transport_filter = /usr/bin/spamc -u ${local_part}@$domain
# transport_filter = /usr/bin/spamc -u mail
# bsmtp = all
# home_directory = "/tmp"
# current_directory = "/tmp"
# user = mail
# group = mail
# return_path_add = false
# log_output = true
# return_fail_output = true
# prefix =
# suffix =
director -
#spamcheck_director:
# no_verify
# condition = "${if and { {!def:h_X-Spam-Flag:} {!eq
{$received_protocol}{spam-scanned}} {!eq {$received_protocol}{local}} }
{1}{0}}"
# driver = smartuser
# transport = spamcheck
The problem I'm coming across is this.. I send a message, spamassassin
scans it, pronounces it clean..and..then...proceeds to scan it again?
endlessly..Apparently appending onto it more received headers, because
eventually it fails due to too many of them, and repeats the process for
both the bounce message, and the subsequent message sent to postmaster.
I've attached relevant log segments below. I understand this is
apparently a misconfiguration of some sort, though I haven't been able
to track down where or what the misconfiguration is via google or any
error messages truly relevant to the problem.
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!
Regards,
Bob Branch..
