Hi all. I'm new to dspam and would like to get some clues what to expect.
I'll just give the most general details of my setup as my question is quite basic - due to my lack of knowledge of dspam. I must note that I've Googled extensively and read about everything I can find. But I'm still very confused about the basics. dspam --version DSPAM Anti-Spam Suite 3.9.0 (agent/library) Configuration parameters: '--sysconfdir=/etc/dspam' '--enable-daemon' '--with-storage-driver=mysql_drv' '--with-mysql-libraries=/usr/lib/mysql' '--with-mysql-includes=/usr/include/mysql' '--enable-virtual-users' '--enable-preferences-extension' '--enable-domain-scale' '--enable-debug' '--with-logdir=/var/log/dspam' I setup dspam with mysql and Exim (with virtual users) following the dspam documentation. I used the "simple" approach of creating a single s...@mydomain account and enabled MySQLUIDInSignature. I added the following redirect to Exim.conf: [email protected]: "|/usr/local/bin/dspam --user root --class=spam --source=error" Incidentally, the dspam /doc/exim.txt file talks about adding directors to exim.conf though this term is obsolete with Exim 4. I Googled to find out what a director was as I've only ever used Exim 4. From the Exim 4 README: <begin quote> In Exim 4, there's no such thing as directors -- you need to add a new router instead. <end quote> I'm not using the web interface as yet. I followed http://wiki.ledhed.net/index.php/DSpam_File_Permissions to the letter. Things weren't working and after much Googling I discovered I needed to add a dspam user called "root" as used in the call to dspam in the exim redirect. So far so good - things are kind of working. My confusion now arises from not knowing what to expect and finding no documentation that outlines the basic principles. dspam is learning from the false negatives forwarded to [email protected] but the results aren't reflected in the stats for the users that originally received the false negatives and forwarded it to [email protected]. So user f...@domain receives spam and forwards it to s...@domain. dspam_stats for s...@domain show some false negatives and true positives but dspam_stats for f...@domain reports 100% true negatives even though f...@domain originally received the spam. I expected the MySQLUIDInSignature would associate the forwarded spam with the user that originally received it. I suspect I've done something ridiculous in my setup but I'm clueless at the moment. I'd very much appreciate any pointers as how to get dspam working as it should.
