Thanks Alan for you reply.
Let me shed some light on the configuration, i was getting desperate and was
mambling on how poor i am... :-)
I have sendmail 8.13.4 running on debian 3.1.
I install clamAV 0.87.1
and MimeDefang 2.54
I upgraded SA to 3.1 via: perl -MCPAN -e 'install MAIL::SPAMASSASIN'.
I made some custom made rules in mimedefang-filter.
SO as i see it it goes like this:
Mail arrive at the MTA (sendmail) -> mimedefang steps in and send it to
clam ->
clam returns 'ok' -> mimedefang submit it to SA -> if not spam return to
->mimedefang -> check custom rules -> local delivery.
I was wondering...should spamd be running??? I know mimedefang uses
spamassassin
even without it running...what is the proper way??
Should I see the headers of X-spam-status X-spam-version X-spam-level
before or
after X-scaned by: mimedefang????????
Did you install spamass-milter during your 3.1 install?
Don't think so?? how would i check that??
I stop about 1000 spam mail per day and get about 3000 legit mail per
day (some of it SPAM!!)
are you saying that you block about 1000 spam per day and receive 3000
per day, some of which is spam?
by definition legit mail != SPAM.
What i ment was that spam gets through so the number 3000 does include spam
(i've taken to numbers from graphdefang).

X-Spam-Status: No, score=3.1 required=5.0 tests=DATE_IN_FUTURE_96_XX,

[end quote]
this was from the spamdrop mailbox!! why is it there is the spam-status
is NO
???
for one thing, this still shows it was scanned with version 3.0.3. are
you sure that you properly upgraded to 3.1? make sure that any
pre-existing 3.0.3 installation has been successfully removed.
Sorry i cut the wrong header from a privious mail, here is a more current one:
X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 3.1.0 (2005-09-13) on x.x.x.x
X-Spam-Level: ***
X-Spam-Status: No, score=3.6 required=5.0 tests=FROM_ILLEGAL_CHARS,
HTML_IMAGE_ONLY_08,HTML_MESSAGE,HTML_MIME_NO_HTML_TAG,
MIME_HEADER_CTYPE_ONLY,MIME_HTML_ONLY,SUBJ_ILLEGAL_CHARS,
USER_IN_WHITELIST_TO autolearn=no version=3.1.0
What i don't get is why is this mail in spamdrop??? it says clearly
"Spam-Status: No..." ????
what are you using to move the mail to your spamdrop? are you
quarantining the mail in mimedefang? are you pre-sorting to a different
folder using something like procmail? are you just discarding the mail?
No procmail...mail is delivered to spamdrop by mimedefang sub filter_end.
we're a little short of useful information here.
Hope that helps understanding...
Waiting you're insights...
