I just tested dccifd with a clean dcc_conf, and got msg.* files in
/var/dcc/log for messages with checksum counts of "MANY".
If the permissions and so forth are right, then
- Ensure that dccifd is being used instead of dccproc
Dccproc was originally intended for use with procmail, which is why
it has the name dccproc. Dccifd is much cheaper.
A common cause of SpamAssassin using dccproc instead of dccifd is
putting the DCC home directory somewhere other than /var/dcc but
not telling SpamAssassin.
If you must use dccproc, tell SpamAssassin to run dccproc with
-El/var/dcc/log and something like -cCMN,5,
to get logging similar to dccifd
- to have dccifd (or dccproc) log everything, set the log threshold with
-t (or -c) to 0 instead of 5
- add -d or -dd to DCCIFD_ARGS in /var/dcc/dcc_conf and restart dccifd with
/var/dcc/libexec/start-dccifd
That will cause noise in the system log when dccifd has trouble
Busy systems that have dccifd logging working will need to clean
/var/dcc/log and the per-user log directories in /var/dcc/userdirs/local/*/log
with something like /var/dcc/libexec/cron-dccd
You might also want to use set DCCM_LOGDIR to create new directories
every day, hour, or minute to avoid giant file directories.
