Well, I never change the whitelist, my openwebmail generates the data Automaticaly. You will not need to touch the file, as your webmail client will do it. However to answer your question its as whitelist_from u...@xxx.xxx whitelist_from *...@xxx.xxx This may be confusing, as this thread started about spamassassins auto_whitelist feature. Sure you can have your webmail or other client generate seperate whitelists as you describe here, but the auto_whitelist file really is maintained by SA only, and it's in Berkeley DB format.

Presumably this is why it used /root/.spamassassin, assuming that you ran spamc as root. Alternately you can use an unprivileged user either by letting it drop privileges, like this spamd_flags= -u unixuser or by starting it directly, with spamd_user=unixuser, since spamd will no longer be able to bind to the default port, you need to specify a high port in this case. And for some odd reason spamd still expects the -u option to be used. You can also add virtual users like this: spamd_flags= -c -x -u unixuser --virtual-config-dir=/var/db/spamassassin/conf/%u and then using: spamc -u vuser in the above unixuser is the unprivileged user and vuser is the virtual user which is substituted for %u in the above path. There are also numerous sql alternatives, but that's a bit more complicated. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

RE: spamassassin question
Hi Gary, just to be complete++, :-), you mean /usr/local/etc/mail/spamassassin/local.cf , is this correct?? Yes, You are 100% Correct :) would you check my tying to see if i've made any mistakes? Again, Correct :) another question: are these the same perms, 0755, as before [in /root]? i want to document and save these data in a local spamd howto file for the next time i need to go thru this morass... Gary, Its a sensitive part! if I give you the wrong permission you will be exposed to attackers! I my self dunt have the right permission, because I didnot have enough time to look for it, however If you set the wrong permission and you run spamd you will see error in you log files as cannot create ..etc.. permission denied You will have to go back and change the permission.. and start spamd again..and check your log again..755 might be very good. after you set 0755 check your log..all errors should disappear. lastly, what format is used in the whitelist? is it similar to what i have in /etc/mail/access? Well, I never change the whitelist, my openwebmail generates the data Automaticaly. You will not need to touch the file, as your webmail client will do it. However to answer your question its as whitelist_from u...@xxx.xxx whitelist_from *...@xxx.xxx donot forget to change /usr/local/etc/rc.d/spamass-milter where it says owner and group to spamd So it run as spamd user instead of root. and this is in your /etc/rc.conf spamd_enable=YES spamass_milter_enable=YES spamd_flags=-u spamd -H /var/spool/spamd note that after -u there is spamd (which is the user) Good luck.

Re: Spamassassin question [was Re: Do I have an open relay?]
All tests performed, no relays accepted. My access file only contains a list of domains I reject: Why not just not have one at all? As the top line says: ## Mail relay access control list. Default is to reject mail unless the ## destination is local, or listed in /etc/mail/sendmail.cw Well, my /etc/mail/access-sample says as listed in /etc/mail/local-host-names.

It depends. If you feed Spamassassin through a procmail recipe, it'll only see the local delivered mails. You can install the milter hooks for Spamassassin (mail/spamass-milter) and then Spamassassin will see very single mail.
