If spams are passing and not tagged, are you doing something stupid
like calling MimeDefang from your mail DELIVERY agent?
as a beginner I don't know if I'm doing that or not. All I know is that:
1) in my sendmail.mc file I have the entry:
INPUT_MAIL_FILTER(`mimedefang',
`S=unix:/var/spool/MIMEDefang/mimedefang.sock, T=S:5m;R:5m')
2) my mail log shows a lots of spams being rejected by mimedefang = it
must be working
3) a few odd spams are getting through to my inbox, despite being tagged
in the subject line [SPAM] and despite having a spam score of > 10. This
is the problem.
What I have done just now is edit my 'over the threshold' setting thus:
# If SpamAssassin found SPAM, append report. We do it as a separate
# attachment of type text/plain
sub filter_end {
my($entity) = @_;
my($hits, $req, $names, $report) = spam_assassin_check();
my $stars = ($hits < 15) ? ("*" x int($hits)) : ("*" x 15);
# Bounce anything scoring 5 or higher
if ($hits >= 5) {
action_bounce("Rejected: my server thinks your email is spam.");
return;
} #Add spam-score header
action_change_header("X-Spam-Score", "$hits ($stars) $names");
# Bounce anything if over threshold
if ($hits >= $req) {
action_bounce("Rejected: my server thinks your email is spam.");
}
so I'll wait to see if this makes any difference.
