I've been trying to get SA 3.1.0 to do its auto-whitelist thing with MD
for some time. Mail log is reporting:
Slave 0 stderr: auto-whitelist: open of auto-whitelist file failed:
locker: safe_lock: cannot create tmp lockfile
/root/.spamassassin/auto-whitelist.lock.gatekeeper.grid-itc.co.uk.9319
for /root/.spamassassin/auto-whitelist.lock: Permission denied
for each multiplexor it tries to start. From the archives here and
googling elsewhere I see this has been seen, but I've not seen any
solutions presented.
So ... a possible solution (I've not subjected this to any testing with
any version of SA other than 3.1.0).
Open "mimedefang.pl" and find the "spam_assassin_init" routine (line
6258 in MD 2.54). Where it makes the new SpamAssassin object, add the
parameter:
userstate_dir => "/dir/where/you/want/db/files",
... so the entire piece reads something like:
$SASpamTester = Mail::SpamAssassin->new({
local_tests_only => $SALocalTestsOnly,
dont_copy_prefs => 1,
userprefs_filename => $config,
userstate_dir => "/dir/where/you/want/files",
LOCAL_RULES_DIR => $LOCAL_RULES_DIR});
Usual rules apply for the directory - create it by hand and make it 700
for your defang user.
This works for me on FC3.
Dunno if someone could put this into a nice configuration option :))
