Thanks Eric. It’s very likely that I”m confused about this - I am using dspam. My understanding is that dspam is the daemon that launches SpamAssassin and connects it to qmail, but I admit I’m fuzzy on the details. The soup of spam-related things I know I am running are:
SpamAssassin: evaluate individual messages and decide whether something is spam or not pyzor: additional information used by SpamAssassin to decide if something is spammy or not dspam: daemon wrapper around SpamAssassin spamdyke: erm…. something else that connects to SpamAssassin somehow But again, I’m not completely clear on how it all fits together, and it’s entirely possible I’ve got something miswired? On my older setup before your modernization of it, spamc was a part of the process, but that seems to be removed now? Whenever I make changes to /etc/spamassassin/local.cf, I activate them with “systemctl restart spamd”. I don’t restart qmail. Any dope-slaps would be most welcome :) - Steve > On Jan 30, 2017, at 10:59 AM, Eric Broch <[email protected]> wrote: > > Steve, > > You might try Dspam.
