I just set up spamassassin the other day. I'm running qmail - and not
running razor, so we're a little different, but it should be close enough.
I'm running mine on a user by user basis (with only a couple of users,
this is easiest for me) - I run spamassassin through procmail. This is
incredibly easy... Here's how I installed:
perl -MCPAN -e shell
cpan> install Mail::SpamAssassin
(answer yes to all of the dependencies)
once it's complete successfully:
cpan> quit
Now, if you're running procmail already, great, just add something like:
:0fw
| /usr/bin/spamassassin -P -c /usr/share/spamassassin
:0:
* ^X-Spam-Status: Yes
junkmail
To your recipe. If you're not running procmail, you'll need to just make
sendmail process procmail for you - I think you put "|procmail" in your
.forward, but I really can't recall. Just check the docs or maybe someone
else will see errors in my email and reply :). Then, create a .procmailrc
for it to read and mkdir .procmail - I use a pretty minimal setup in
.procmailrc:
MAILDIR=mail
PMDIR=$HOME/.procmail
:0fw
| /usr/bin/spamassassin -P -c /usr/share/spamassassin
:0:
* ^X-Spam-Status: Yes
junkmail
And that's about all you have to do, I believe. You can check your
headers for things like this:
X-Spam-Status: No, hits=-0.7 required=5.0
tests=X_AUTH_WARNING
version=2.31
X-Spam-Level:
If your X-Spam-Status says "Yes", you get a larger spam report in the body
of the email.
Good luck,
Ben
