Package: spamass-milter Version: 0.3.1-7+b1 Severity: important Hello,
I think I have found a bug in the documentation for spamass-milter. /usr/share/doc/spamass-milter/README.Debian instructs those using spamass-milter with postfix to: " -------------------------------------------------------------- Integrating spamass-milter into your postfix installation -------------------------------------------------------------- You need to edit /etc/postfix/main.cf and configure smptpd_milters so that postfix connects to the spamass-milter socket. Something like: # spamass-milter configuration smtpd_milters = unix:/var/spool/postfix/spamass/spamass.sock should work. See http://www.postfix.org/MILTER_README.html or /usr/share/doc/postfix/MILTER_README.gz (in postfix-doc) for information on how to set tempfail and the various timeouts that the sendmail configuration above uses. " Unfortunatly this will produce a very confusing error message: postfix/smtpd[8625]: warning: connect to Milter service unix:/var/spool/postfix/spamass/spamass.sock: No such file or directory As that file DOES exist it is kind of boggling. The problem is that as documented at http://www.postfix.org/MILTER_README.html when postfix is running chrooted (as it is by default in lenny), "the smtpd(8) or cleanup(8) process runs chrooted, an absolute pathname is interpreted relative to the Postfix queue directory." This means that the suggested line shoudl be: smtpd_milters = unix:/spamass/spamass.sock instead. As it took me an hour of googling, permissions checking, etc before I thought to doubt the documentation I thought I would pass this on up the chain in hopes that I could spare others the same trouble.
