[vchkpw] SpamAssassin, Vpopmail, conditional handling on Spam Score?
I'm running the QMAILQUEUE patch with SpamAssassin into Vpopmail with Mysql and Courier. I'm running SpamAssassin with spam threashold required_hits = 8. I allow direct delivery to the mailbox, but it is subject prefixed [SPAM] (thus it is Spam Tagged) What I'd like to do is add another threashold (probably in SA?) where the spam score of 15 is sent to /dev/null. Scores from 7-14.99 are spam tagged (and delivered) and scores less than 7 are not spam tagged. (I've been seeing spam scores as high as 28.8 recently BTW) Is there a normal way to do this? D.

I am running the same setup on my OpenBSD server. All my messages get a spam status header, but try as I may, I cannot get the system to rewrite the subject.

RE: [vchkpw] Spam filter
I had read the following on the qmail-scanner site Software Integration Issues Q-S doesn't work with Vpopmail Vpopmail basically strips out environment variables set within the tcpserver SMTP rules file - specifically the QMAILQUEUE environment variable. As it is responsible for starting qmail-smtpd, that means Qmail-Scanner never gets called. This is really a bug with Vpopmail, but a workaround is to set QMAILQUEUE within /service/smtpd/run instead. However, you must realise that you will lose Q-S functionality - such as altering Q-S components based on SMTP server IP address, etc. This will only get worse... Any thoughts on that?

[vchkpw] Courier IMAP vchkpw problem
Hi, I was happily using vpopmail 5.2.1 and qmailadmin. Everything was fine. However, our clients demanded some form of webmail access, so after trying a few packages, I settled for SquirrelMail (PHP pages that we could set to our needs). SquirrelMail requires an IMAP server for authentication and Courier-IMAP seems to be the fastest around and recommended by most groups. Everything worked wonderfully EXCEPT for the fact that you could only authenticate about 3 times before getting a username/password unknown error. If I restart the Courier authentication daemon it works for another 3 times. I even tried setting up a cron job to run a script as root that restarts the Courier authentication daemon every minute. The Courier IMAP list was the first place I searched for help but they were adamant that the problem is with vchkpw and that I should upgrade to version 5.3.20. I have done this but still have the same problem. Any suggestions? Has anyone else had this problem?
Re: [vchkpw] Spam filter
I run FreeBSD 4.8, Qmail, Vpopmail, Courier-imap, Qmail-scanner, Spamassassin. I just installed this over the weekend and got it working. I received 506 emails today (Tuesday 5/27), of that 74 emails was spam of which 59 were caught and marked by Spamassassin, There was 16 messages that was spam that wasn't caught.For the first day, that is 79.73% accuracy. That ain't too bad. I have a client side rule for now to put spam marked by spamassassin in a separate folder. When I get better at configuration of spamassassin, I'll have server side rules. I have to figure out how Spamassassin is actually configured to do some more advanced configuration. I read the RTFM manualls and it pointed to using user_prefs and/or local.cf file. Doesn't appear any of these conf files are around but ole well. Lots of stuff to learn but bottom line I didn't need to filter 59 messages today.

Re: [vchkpw] Spam filter
Hi, It's BS. QS and vpopmail work just fine together. The ONLY issue is that the current vpopmail pop-before-smtp code doesn't write a QMAILQUEUE variable into the tcp.smtp file. Mostly harmless for outgoing email and a patch is available. If you are running smtp auth there is no problem. Since qmail-smtpd is called WAY before vpopmail (in the .qmail-default file from qmail-local) there is no way vpopmail can be stripping anything except in the above case. I'm not sure who started this myth but they should be tarred and feathered. I've been over this a few times with Jason on the QS list and I'm still not sure how it got started.

When I first upgraded from SA 2.31 to 2.53 (and then to 2.55) a lot of SPAM slipped thru. After running bayes for a week I was able to drop it SIGNIFICANTLY.

Re: [vchkpw] qmail + vpopmail woes
Yes, if you are using the MySQL backend with vpopmail, then you will need to specify a larger-than-normal softlimit setting for the pop3d.
