Steve,
I think you mean simscan.
Basically, the email flow is as follows for QMT (look in
'/var/qmail/supervise/smtp/run'):
1) softlimit
2) tcpserver (utilizes the config file /etc/tcprules.d/tcp.smtp where
QMAILQUEUE is configured as simscan)
3) simscan (utilizes /var/qmail/control/simcontrol where clamav and
spamassassin are invoked)
4) clamav & spamassassin
5) spamdyke
6) qmail-smtpd ...
Dspam on the other hand is called later during delivery. I use it in
.qmail-default.

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,
You might try Dspam. I still use it on my home server with a couple
domains. If you need any help let me know.

Thanks for the suggestions, everyone. This is a small-scale system
that’s mostly for personal use, so unfortunately it doesn’t warrant
the expense of a standalone appliance for spam, so I’m pretty much
limited to what I can roll up on the box itself. I’ve used SA+qmail
in various permutations for about 15 years, and for the most part
it’s worked reliably and well, but every once in a while spammers
change tactics and figure out a way through and there’s an upsurge
for a bit.
I’ll give sa-learn a shot and see if it improves anything.
Cheers,
Steve
