Re: [Dspam-user] dspam daemon mode "destination user" error

Oh btw. in theory it could be a packaging issue ;)

I am using the following port

dspam-3.10.2_3

It is not a packaging issue because otherwise I should have it too.

I am also on FreeBSD and I am also using the port.
After installing the port I used the startup script in /usr/local/etc/rc.d/
to start dspam.

Dspam is started like this: /usr/local/bin/dspam –daemon

Who is the owner of
/var/run/dspam/
/var/db/dspam/

Can dspam create /var/run/dspam.sock ?

Hi all,

I am encountering what appears to be a packaging issue specific to the
FreeBSD port, but I'm not entirely sure.

Previously, dspam on FreeBSD ran as root. This changed with release
v3.10.2_2 dspam which was released in May. From files/UPDATING:

# dspam-3.10.2_2
#

Port Changes:
- Runs as dspam:dspam instead of root:mail [1]
- Default run directory is now /var/run/dspam [1]
- Default daemon/client communication port is now 2424 [1]
- New SETUID option to enable old insecure behavior [1]

[1] Questionable ownership and security on mail/dspam (PR #115957)

However, after installing and restarting it, I am unable to get this
latest
version to work. I see this error in maillog:

Nov 2 14:17:07 galatea dspam[94824]: Daemon process starting
Nov 2 14:17:07 galatea dspam[94824]: Creating local domain socket
/var/run/dspam.sock
Nov 2 14:17:07 galatea dspam[94824]: Daemon mode failed to start

user
Nov 2 14:19:37 galatea dspam[94843]: DSPAM agent misconfigured:
aborting

If I revert to the previous version, dspam runs fine.

>From the dspam man page:

--user user1 user2 ... userN
Specifies the destination users of the incoming message.
In
most
cases this is the local user on the system, however some
implementations may call for virtual usernames, specific
to
DSPAM, to be assigned. The agent processes an incoming
message
once for each user specified. If the message is to be
delivered,
the $u (or %u) parameters of the argument string will be
interpolated for the current user being processed.

I'm familiar with "--user" , as I have configured a Roundcube mail
plugin to
use for retraining messages incorrectly classified by dspam and this is
one
of the commmand-line parameters.

However, the previous version of dspam running as root in daemon mode
didn't
require a destination user, AFAIK. Why am I encountering this error now?

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

Colin
