Re: spamassassin, clamav with sendmail - not scanning local mails.
In the last episode (Jun 14), Rajamani, Rajarajan (Rajarajan) said: I have installed the spamassassin milter and the clam av milter ports and have made the following changes to the freebsd.mc file. INPUT_MAIL_FILTER(`spamassassin', `S=local:/var/run/spamass-milter.sock, F=,T=C:15m;S:4m;R:4m;E:10m') INPUT_MAIL_FILTER(`clmilter',`S=local:/var/run/clamav/clmilter.sock, F=,T=S:4m;R:4m')dnl define(`confINPUT_MAIL_FILTERS', `spamassassin, clmilter') then restarted sendmail by # make, # make install,# make restart, # newaliases Now I am noticing that all mails that are being sent directly to my machine are tagged properly both for spam and viruses. Mails that are sent from one account to another are not being scanned. I think this is because milters only act on things received via the TCP port. If you pipe a message into /usr/bin/sendmail or /usr/bin/mail, that all gets skipped and the sendmail process dumps it directly into the queue directory for delivery. Since I use fetchmail/fetchyahoo/gotmail to retreive my ISP/yahoo/hotmail accounts (where I get most spam), the mails delivered to my mbox are not scanned by either clamd or spamd. I checked that these tools are having the appropriate switches to forward the pop'd mails to my account instead of putting it directly into the mbox. Am I missing something. How do I force sendmail to use the mail filters for local mails. Any info would be appreciated. I think you will have to configure your fetching tools to inject messages to localhost port 25 or 587 instead of execing sendmail. Fetchmail should do this by default (it will fall back to execing sendmil if the port isn't open); not sure about the others. -- Dan Nelson [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Your hunch is right. When I used fetchmail to redirect the mail to port 25 it worked (earlier it was piping it to procmail directly - my mistake). Now I have to figure out how to do the same with fetchyahoo/gotmail.

See the options for clamav-milter(5). In particular, --local and --outgoing; these are set in /etc/rc.conf. Spamassassin may have similar options. -Warren Block * Rapid City, South Dakota USA ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
