Re: [Mimedefang] Getting the error Use of uninitialized value inconcatenation
It just means one of your variables in that md_syslog is undef. You can safely ignore the error if the spf query routine can correctly return undef. You could also try adding this to your mimedefang-filter and try and hide the messages: use warnings; no warnings 'uninitialized'; I'm getting the following errors in my logs, and I cant seem to pin them down Line 491 of my filter, the line number referenced in the error messages above, is the md_syslog line of the portion of filter_sender(), below. ___ NOTE: If there is a disclaimer or other legal boilerplate in the above message, it is NULL AND VOID.

Don't do that.
Perl is trying to tell you something. It's better to track down and
fix the problem than to hide it.
Agreed. I've tried to keep straight those variables that are local /
global, those that are passed back and forth between functions, and so on.
I'm thinking about using the optional debugging flag in the SPF query
(debug = 1, debuglog = sub {print STDERR @_\n } to see if the
particular queries are returning some kind of garbage data, but it's just
weird.
I may try isolating the query code, parsing the helo's out of my log, and
then run a loop that queries all the helo's. If I log the output, I might
be able to corrolate garbage returns with the errors in my logs. Perhaps I
should even compare the returns from this perl-based query, and the output
of a simple host -t TXT $helo.
Is anyone else using the same SPF query code (from Keith Patton -
http://www.mimedefang.org/kwiki/index.cgi?IntegratingSPF )- as I am, and
noticing any errors? Anyone have any ideas which value might be coming back
undefined?

The impact of this is that if you're looking for the definition of the subroutine Mail::SpamAssassin::PerMsgStatus::leave_helper_run_mode, you can tear your hair out looking in PerMsgStatus.pm only to discover that it *actually* lives in Dns.pm. The impact is unmaintainable code, frustration, and irritation. :-) Regards, David. ___ NOTE: If there is a disclaimer or other legal boilerplate in the above message, it is NULL AND VOID.

[Mimedefang] Re: Accept mail before processing
HI.
As some have already suggested to you, I did the following on my small
MD server to improve performance of outgoing mail:
1. I have disabled antispam checking for outgoing mail, using the
following:
It is up to you to decide if you want to skip spamassassin check for
outgoing mail or not, and if so, which method or rules to use for that.
sub filter_end ($) {
my($entity) = @_;
# No sense doing any extra work
return if message_rejected();
# Spam checks if SpamAssassin is installed
if ($Features{SpamAssassin}) {
if ($RelayAddr =~ ^192\.168\.1
or $RelayAddr eq 127.0.0.1) {
# note: You can add here logging or other commands to note that
SpamAssassin was skipped...
} else {
if (-s ./INPUTMSG 100*1024) {
# Only scan messages smaller than 100kB. Larger messages
# are extremely unlikely to be spam, and SpamAssassin is
# dreadfully slow on very large messages.
my($hits, $req, $names, $report) = spam_assassin_check();
etc
2. It would be a good idea to follow the performance tuning steps to
improve MD performance in general for any mail traffic.
One major step is to put /var/spool/MIMEDefang on a RAM drive.
