FINALLY!! Well sort of What a PITA, seriously. So I went ahead and just upgraded my Perl to 5.8.4, probably was not necessary and then reinstalled all required Perl modules. Then I had to spend X amount of time changing the permissions for my Perl modules to world readable, why would the system knowing that usr/local/perl is for users, lock it down to root access only?
Maybe the way I installed Perl <shrug> Anyways, no errors and I have created with the help of some other visuals a script that starts Clamd/Spamassassin/Mimedefang/Sendmail in that order. This starts up nicely, no errors everything seems to be happy. I'm seeing some rejects due to viruses (nice, clamav has never been an issue), I see Mimedefang adding it's lil X-header, but I am not seeing MimeDefang talk to SA at all, or am I?! I sent a known bad message and nothing but the X header was added to the header of my message, but when running against spamass-milter and SA it's blocked. So my theory is that somewhere Mimedefang and SA are not doing what they need to do together. (Again this SA install works with spamass-milter, no issues). Mimedefang 2.44 SA 2.63 However I am seeing this in the logs: Aug 4 18:21:24 gateway2 mimedefang.pl[23138]: MDLOG,i751LNoI023693,mail_in,,, Is that mail_in, just a statement regarding the fact the message is inbound, or is this something to do with my whitelists, which would mean it's reading my SA config file (or part of it!)? I have the following SA configs and permissions: In /etc/mail -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 15833 Aug 4 17:57 mimedefang-filter -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 14767 Aug 4 14:59 mimedefang-filter.example In /etc/mail/spamassassin: -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 8904 Aug 2 00:25 local.cf -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 5490 Aug 4 18:11 sa-mimedefang.cf In the sa-mimedefang.cf file, I have added all my rules from local.cf to the bottom (various rule modifications, scoring differences). I do not have Bayes setup as I read there were some issues, so I will tackle that after this is working for a bit. And yes when I rebuild Mimedefang with the new Perl, it did see my SA install (wouldn't see the RPM, but did see my build from the tar ball). So what am I missing, I have gone thru the config files and Mimedefang should see SA at runtime (thus the fact I'm starting SA before Mimedefang. Sorry I don't have any wonderful errors to report as I resolved all of them, but now just need to get my SA to work. Also a note, the terminology for bounce is just so wrong. It's a bounce/reject at time of connection, however many filters say that it will process the entire message and rules before providing a bounce, this leads me to believe that we are actually accepting and bouncing which is 100% incorrect and should not happen. I drop know viruses currently and then reject based on various reasons (Sendmail config does a lot of that for me already). Anyone with a link to good filter rules, examples, contribs? Thanks for sticking with me, I think I'm almost there! -Tory _______________________________________________ Visit http://www.mimedefang.org and http://www.canit.ca MIMEDefang mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.roaringpenguin.com/mailman/listinfo/mimedefang
