Got it, all correct. Thanks for the gentle dope-slap and threading the maze. :) I still have the problem of all messages being tagged with USER_IN_BLACKLIST, but I’ll look for answers on a SA forum (unless anyone here has an easy answer!) - Steve > On Feb 7, 2017, at 12:29 AM, Eric Broch wrote

Hi Steve, Look at the line in '/var/qmail/supervise/smtp/run' where tcpserver initiates the rules of the compiled database (cdb), '/usr/bin/tcpserver -v -R -H -l $HOSTNAME-x $TCP_CDB-c "$MAXSMTPD"' specifically, $TCP_CDB which translates to, '/etc/tcprules.d/tcp.smtp.cdb' which you edit a

Steve, I think you mean simscan. Basically, the email flow is as follows for QMT (look in '/var/qmail/supervise/smtp/run'): 1) softlimit 2) tcpserver (utilizes the config file /etc/tcprules.d/tcp.smtp where QMAILQUEUE is configured as simscan) 3) simscan (utilizes /var/qmail/control/simco

Thanks Eric. It’s very likely that I”m confused about this - I am using dspam. My understanding is that dspam is the daemon that launches SpamAssassin and connects it to qmail, but I admit I’m fuzzy on the details. The soup of spam-related things I know I am running are: SpamAssassin: evaluate
