You probably don't even need the --homedir, I just noticed
that I don't have a .pyzor directory in my home directory and
checking and reporting both work on the command line.

Does anyone have any more complete instructions on how to set it up
properly? The current wiki page says to run "pyzor --homedir
/etc/mail/spamassassin discover" , but the package that comes with
fedora25 doesn't recognize "discover"

# pyzor --homedir /etc/mail/spamassassin discover
2017-02-11 15:28:50,044 (13496) CRITICAL Unknown command: discover

I've added "pyzor_options --homedir /etc/mail/spamassassin" to my
local.cf and it appears to recognize it when I run spamassassin
manually:

# cat spam.test | spamassassin -D 2>&1|grep pyzor
dbg: pyzor: network tests on, attempting Pyzor
dbg: util: executable for pyzor was found at /usr/bin/pyzor
dbg: pyzor: opening pipe: /usr/bin/pyzor --homedir
/etc/mail/spamassassin check < /tmp/.spamassassin17358bO8g8xtmp
dbg: pyzor: got response: public.pyzor.org:24441 (200, 'OK') 1956102 7242
dbg: pyzor: listed: COUNT=1956102/5 WHITELIST=72424

It appears to be working. I just hoped someone could confirm there was
nothing further I needed to do.

Then that explains why it works without the "=". It was SpamAssassin
that didn't like the format:

"info: config: SpamAssassin failed to parse line"

But the pyzor help text (shown when run without args) tells me there is
an equal sign.  Besides, pyzor is a python program and the usual arg
parsing modules for python understand both spellings.

Use greylisting to delay email, in order to allow URIBLs to first 
receive copies of the spam, so that it gets into their databases.


In my case, I delay "suspicious" looking emails for a longer period of 
time. I define "suspicious" based on certain spamassassin rules, that by 
themselves, either have a low or no score (such as 
__FILL_THIS_FORM_SHORT).   This is my customized method.  I suspect 
other people are doing something similar.  I had to do this, because I 
had complaints of real mail getting delayed for too long a time period.

You were close.  No equals sign:

pyzor_options --homedir /usr/local/pyzor

pyzor options

[Ian Zimmerman]

This may have been part of the reason why I stopped using pyzor.  Taking
a second look now, but the configuration still seems somewhat less than
obvious.

I want to set the pyzor "homedir", that is the directory where the
servers file lives.  I tried (in local.cf):

pyzor_options --homedir=/usr/local/pyzor

pyzor_options "--homedir=/usr/local/pyzor"

Both result in spamassassin logging:

info: config: SpamAssassin failed to parse line,
"--homedir=/usr/local/pyzor" is not valid for "pyzor_options", skipping:
pyzor_options --homedir=/usr/local/pyzor

What am I doing wrong?
