Hiya, I am just building up a new POP server for our users to replace our ageing old mail server. I already have a separate machine doing Spam Assassin, which is run on a system wide basis and I just redirect certain domain names that want filtering via it. On this new server, I am running

I agree, autolearn in conjunction with the odd manual insert works very well here, although I'm still having troubles blocking the variation of those ridicoulous drugs/rx msgs. 0.000 01781758 0 non-token data: nspam 0.000 0 319835 0 non-token data:

Per the documentation, this should get me 3 processes. I run an average of 10 to 12 spamd processes at any one time, but it seems stable at this level. They do recycle, and I've had no problems since setting these restrictions. system has been up a week or more, with no problems. jay Gavin Cato

Customizing the SA error message?

2004-11-06 Thread Gavin Cato
Is there a way to edit this apart from editing the source code? Spam detection software, running on the system assassin.nexon.com.au, has identified this incoming email as possible spam. The original message has been attached to this so you can view it (if it isn't spam) or label similar future

Hiya, I'm just trying this out on a test server. Is it possible to have amavisd only spamcheck the domains listed in @local_domains_acl? I've found that even for domains not listed in that array, that it still goes and runs the whole spamc checking process, even though it won't add the spam

There should never be more than (--max-children) + 1 spamd processes running; if anyone can catch a server doing otherwise, and figure out *why*, we'd much appreciate it ;) This was a bit of a coincidence. Read this email this morning, and then 30mins ago my SA server slowed to a absolute

Hi, I noticed the other day that the latest version of spamass-milter (I don't know how long the feature has been there) has a cmd line option to block mail that exceeds a certain score so this might help you if you are running sendmail. What I'd really like to do is to be able to define a

Hi Robert, Why couldn't you simply install another perfectly running copy of SA on server A, and let the users on that machine call spamc directly on that machine? I'd prefer the one copy so I can maintain the one ruleset, Bayesian database, AWL etc. Cheers Gav
