Summary: mail disarded if SMTP delivered use without --enable-daemon

Initial Comment:
If dspam is compiled without --enable-daemon and then configured to deliver via 
SMPT (DeliveryProto    SMPT), no error is generated.  Instead it appears to 
execute an empty shell script that discards the mail.  Instead, aen error 
should be generated,   Attempts to execute empty strings as deliver agents 
should also generate an error.

Hallo Mark

Two issues:

1) If you read the documentation and the notes in dspam.conf you should
see this here:
---------------------
#
# SMTP or LMTP Delivery: Alternatively, you may wish to use SMTP or LMTP
# delivery to deliver your message to the mail server instead of using a
# delivery agent. You will need to configure with --enable-daemon to use
host
# delivery, however you do not need to operate in daemon mode. Specify an
IP
# address or UNIX path to a domain socket below as a host.
#
# If you would like to set up DeliveryHost's on a per-domain basis, use
# the syntax: DeliveryHost.domain.com 1.2.3.4
#
---------------------

2) You are right about the error handling. IMHO disabling daemon and not
having TrustedDeliveryAgent or UntrustedDeliveryAgent configured should not
result in a silent drop of the message. That should be fixed.

Yes. Enabling that option will compile the DSPAM daemon as well. And there
are scenarios where users want a small DSPAM installation that do not need
the functionality of the DSPAM daemon.

Hi Stevan 
The configure line that caused the problem is:
./configure --prefix=/usr/local --with-dspam-home=/var/db/dspam
--with-pgsql-includes=/usr/local/include
--with-pgsql-libraries=/usr/local/lib

adding  --enable-daemon fixed the problem.  However, dspam shouldn't
silently discard mail when misconfiigured.  Is there any reason not to just
always enable this functionality?
dspam.conf attached.

Thans a lot! and greetings from california,
Mark

Hallo Mark

Could you be more precise? What are you doing (please post exact
instructions)? And how have you configured DSPAM (please post the whole
./config line and your dspam.conf)?


Kind Regards from Switzerland
