Sendmail + Cyrus + Procmail(?) + SpamAssassin
I don't know if anyone is still interested, but I found a solution to
this problem. My mail goes Sendmail-->Procmail-->CyrusIMAP.
There are numerous discussions of how to configure the
Sendmail-->Procmail portion, so I'll skip that.
The problem lies in the Procmail-->Cyrus part. Sendmail and/or Procmail
insists on adding a "From" line to the top of the message, and this
causes an error when trying to pass the message from the procmailrc file
to /usr/lib/cyrus-imapd/deliver. So I wrote a little C-program that the
email can be piped through (removing the "From" line); the resulting
message is passed to /usr/lib/cyrus-imapd/deliver.
Here is my ~/.promailrc file. Note that all mail is first delivered to
the user's CyrusIMAP box, then it goes through the procmail checks.
This is because if I don't do this, then all mail that fails all the
conditions (recipes) gets shoved into /usr/local/mail/~, which is
basically a black hole if you are using Cyrus.
# This file is: ~/.procmailrc
#
# REQUIREMENTS:
#1) cyrus-imap (specifically, "/usr/lib/cyrus-imapd/deliver").
#2) the C-program "rmfromln" in a reachable place (like
/usr/local/bin).
#rmfromln: the email argument is piped in; if the email
message
#has been appended with starting "From" line, then this line is
# removed, otherwise the message remains unchanged.
LOGFILE=/home/r2/procmail.log
###
# This is the default action; it delivers the email to the imap mailbox,
# and thus this happens regardless of the success|failure of the
recipes.
# RATIONAL: every email MUST have a "To" field, otherwise sendmail would
#not have passed it to us!?

Oops, didn't see this one. There are two ways to use sieve, one is
having a .sieve file in your home dir, the other is having sieve scripts
in /usr/sieve. There's a setting in imapd.conf to select which way sieve
scripts are handled, e.g. if you have lots of users but no real
accounts.
The relevant bits:
sievedir: /var/imap/sieve
# If enabled, deliver wil look for Sieve scripts in user's home
# directories:# ~user/.sieve.
sieveusehomedir: true
Another thing, if you're using sieveshell you need to 1) upload script,
2) activate it, if you dont' activate it, it won't take effect. Perhaps
that's what's happening?

Quick OT question: how do you debug a sieve script? I uploaded a very
simple script to my server:
require "fileinto";
if header :contains "X-Spam-Flag" "YES" {
fileinto "INBOX.spam";
} else {
fileinto "INBOX.foo";
}
and made it active. Both of the mailboxes user.kirk.foo and user.kirk.spam
(or INBOX.foo and INBOX.spam as seen from the client) exist, but all mail
keeps coming into INBOX. Did I miss a "process_sieve_scripts = yes" flag
somewhere?

I hate to be a johnny-come-lately in a discussion like this, but I'm running Sendmail->procmail->SA->Cyrus Imapd. I'm sorry I missed the beginning of this thread, I might have been able to help with some of the pitfalls I had to overcome. One of my more difficult issues was getting SA to run as the recipient - I know Cyrus doesn't require a login account to be associated with an IMAP account, but I only have a few users (like 3). I also know that might not be ideal for your purposes. Anyway, I had a little trouble at first, but I've got it working quite nicely now. Each user has his/her own SA prefs, bayes database, procmail recipes, etc. Even the cyrus deliver tool runs as the user, which is probably not desireable, but the whole key is in the sendmail.mc file. If I understand it all correctly, if you change one flag there, the whole thing goes back to being global in scale, and procmail and cyrus deliver run as the user sendmail runs as. The vast majority of this is based directly on the subwiki.honeypot.net page above, but the difference is that the Cyrus flags are left out of sendmail.mc, which is set up to use procmail as an LDA. If anyone thinks this might be useful, I'll dig the particulars back up and present them for general use.

The -F0 option was an option that made spamassassin not alter the
headers, as it would confuse some programs. It's not needed since 2.44
iirc. Because spamassassin is being ran as user cyrus, you need to tell
it where to search for user_prefs.

Said script:

#
# A wrapper for running spamassassin & Cyrus deliver
#
if [ "$#" -ne 2 ]; then exit 64; fi

I'm beginning to think that procmail may not be very good for use with
Cyrus. I'd originally "locked" on it because it seemed like an easy way to
pipe the mail through commands (such as spamc), but if I'm going to script
that anyway, then I don't such much need to keep it.

Thansk for the pointer! It may not be *exactly* what I needed, but I think
it's close enough that I should be able to go on from here.

Do you have a good reference for that? I Googled "sieve cyrus" and got more
information than I could handle.

Sendmail + Cyrus + Procmail(?) + SpamAssassin
Up until this morning, I had a working setup where Sendmail used Procmail for local delivery, and the global procmailrc called SpamAssassin (via spamc) to insert an "X-Spam-Status:" header into incoming emails. I used Procmail rather than a milter because my server is a secondary MX for an associate's domains, and the poor unenlightened soul doesn't want his email to be processed. Since a milter processes all email passing through a machine, and Procmail only works on mail being delivered locally, it was the perfect fit. I installed Cyrus IMAP 2.1.12 from ports today, and was able to make Sendmail deliver directly to it without too much work. However, now I really want to insert Procmail (or at least spamc) somewhere into the pipeline so that my mail is conveniently marked for disposal again. I've found about 100 half-way recipes on Google (web and Usenet); some call Procmail as the local mailer and ignore Cyrus altogether, and some set Procmail to by Cyrus' delivery agent. However, not one single setup that I tried seemed to work. No matter what I did, either procmailrc was ignored, or mail was silently discarded without being delivered. It's now well past my bed time, my brain is all muzzy, and I'm "this close" to giving up on the whole project. Before I do, I have to ask: has *anyone* made Sendmail+Cyrus+Procmail+SpamAssassin work? In order of most undesirable to least: 1) Sendmail needs to stay. Switching MTA's isn't something I can do right now. 2) I don't want to give up SpamAssassin. I've been without it for about 12 hours, and the amount of spam in my previously-pristine inbox is sickening. 3) I don't want to give up Procmail, because I don't want to process mail that's merely passing through my machine. 4) I don't want to give up Cyrus because I'm trying to get some experience with it locally before deploying it on customers' production systems. Anyone who can help me with the least amount of pain (see the above metric) will have my eternal gratitude. Or at least a hearty "Thanks!" once I've had a sleep cycle and some caffeine. -- Kirk Strauser In Googlis non est, ergo non est. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
