Dear fellow Amavis users,

I recently migrated from a very old setup on Debian 8 to Debian 11. Both setups used Postfix with Amavis and Spamassassin, with Dovecot as the LDA. I've configured Amavis as I always do, to tag each and every email message with a spam score and status: $sa_tag_level_deflt  = -9999;  # add spam info headers if at, or above that level
$sa_tag2_level_deflt = 5.0; # add 'spam detected' headers at that level
$sa_kill_level_deflt = 20; # triggers spam evasive actions
$sa_dsn_cutoff_level = 15;   # spam level beyond which a DSN is not sent
However, it seems that none of my messages are actually tagged in my inbox. I've not received any outright spam that scored above 5 (I only very recently migrated, and I reject/discard a lot of spam using the spamhaus blocklists in postfix), but regular email doesn't have the headers attached to it. I therefore initially suspected I had not configured things correctly and that amavis wasn't running properly. However, I do see very believable scores in my logs: Aug 17 11:59:33 sys amavis[2337329]: (2337329-17) Passed CLEAN {RelayedOpenRelay}, [127.0.0.1] [40.107.20.101] <bert.vandep...@uclouvain.be> -> <b...@bhack.net>, Message-ID: <8e22260c-6d20-86e4-d9e1-1a5d8a963...@uclouvain.be>, mail_id: 4EKz9ECqUE6T, Hits: 1.785, size: 8356, queued_as: 7C866BC40C, 3746 ms

Does anyone have any idea what I've done wrong or what I should be looking for?

I'm using amavis as a content filter in postfix.
main.cf:
content_filter = amavis:[127.0.0.1]:10024
master.cf:
127.0.0.1:10025 inet    n       -       -       -       - smtpd
        -o content_filter=
        -o local_recipient_maps=
        -o relay_recipient_maps=
        -o smtpd_restriction_classes=
        -o smtpd_client_restrictions=
        -o smtpd_helo_restrictions=
        -o smtpd_sender_restrictions=
        -o smtpd_recipient_restrictions=permit_mynetworks,reject
        -o mynetworks=127.0.0.0/8
        -o strict_rfc821_envelopes=yes
        -o receive_override_options=no_unknown_recipient_checks,no_header_body_checks
amavis     unix    -       -       -       -       2       smtp
        -o smtp_data_done_timeout=1200
        -o disable_dns_lookups=yes
If you need any further configuration to better understand my setup, then please let me know.

I hope someone can help me figure this out. It's getting quite frustrating since my setup now and my previous setup are very similar, yet the new one refuses to do what the previous one has always done perfectly.

Kind regards,
Bert Van de Poel
