Bug#878569: spamassassin: Can't set TxRep directory for site wide use

[Marko von Oppen]

Hello,

this bug is still in the Debian package, also in Stable.

The bug was marked fixed upstream some days ago.

https://bz.apache.org/SpamAssassin/show_bug.cgi?id=7383

Maybe it could be fixed now in Debian too.

Thanks

Marko

Applying the attached patch appears to have fixed this issue. I have now run
into https://bz.apache.org/SpamAssassin/show_bug.cgi?id=7164 which means I
get two perl warnings for every message I receive.

I've found https://bz.apache.org/SpamAssassin/show_bug.cgi?id=7383 which
contains a very small patch which apparently fixes the bug. Without this the
TxRep plugin is unusable.

Bug#878569: spamassassin: Can't set TxRep directory for site wide use

[Roger Lynn]

Package: spamassassin
Version: 3.4.1-6
Severity: normal

Hi,

I have a site wide installation of Spamassassin, running as user debian-spamd.
Pyzor and Razor correctly use debian-spamd's home directory, but Bayes and 
TxRep do not. Fortunately Bayes respects the "bayes_path" option.

According to http://truxoft.com/resources/txrep.htm (linked from 
https://wiki.apache.org/spamassassin/TxRep ) the "auto_whitelist_path" option 
should set the TxRep directory. However, having set it to 
"/var/lib/spamassassin/.spamassassin/tx-reputation", which is what the 
documentaion says the default should be, spamd logs:

rules: failed to run TXREP test, skipping:
(locker: [...] safe_lock: cannot create lockfile 
/nonexistent/.spamassassin/tx-reputation.mutex: No such file or directory )

"/nonexistent/" is also the directory Bayes uses by default.

I guessed that perhaps the option should be "txrep_path", but that just 
resulted in:

config: failed to parse line, skipping, in "/etc/spamassassin/local.cf": 
txrep_path /var/lib/spamassassin/.spamassassin/tx-reputation

The "auto_whitelist_path" option did work correctly with the Auto-WhiteList 
function in Jessie.

Thanks,

Roger
