Hi, I just discovered MIMEDefang and I had some questions about its use.
What I want to do is discard spams above a certain spam score, but not
all spams. The problem I am running into now is that although
SpamAssassin supports adding a header with the spam score, it does not
work for me.
My configuration is unusual in that I do not run SpamAssassin on the
same machine I run Sendmail. I saw some posts that seemed to indicate
that MIMEDefang might support this but the HOWTO I read was not helpful
in this regard. I couldn't even tell from the HOWTO how you are
supposed to run MIMEDefang. (The chapter on installation showed
invoking it for testing but didn't show, as far as I could tell, whether
you ran it as a daemon and, if so, how.)
MIMEDefang, like most other milters I know of, runs as a daemon on the
same host as sendmail. You *might* be able to run MD on a different
host than sendmail, IIRC the milter interface allows this. Check the
sendmail docs.
MIMEDefang, by default, uses SA as a Perl library. This means that none
of SA's settings for adding header(s) or encapsulating the spam will do
anything. To use SA's settings, you have to either call the
spamassassin "binary", or spamc (which passes the message to spamd for
processing).
IIRC someone came up with a patch for MD to use spamc/spamd instead of
calling the SA libraries directly; check back through the list archives.
