Hi, just thought I'd give slackware 10.0 a whirl and came across this
problem.
I've just built spamassassin from source and installed it how I want it
and have found this problem with procmail.
*SNIP*
Jul 6 18:00:06 hogwarts sm-mta[9843]: i668056o009841: forward
/usr/home/shaun_oliver/.forward.hogwarts: Group writable directory
Jul 6 18:00:06 hogwarts sm-mta[9843]: i668056o009841: forward
/usr/home/shaun_oliver/.forward: Group writable directory
Jul 6 18:00:06 hogwarts procmail[9844]: Suspicious rcfile
"/usr/home/shaun_oliver/.procmailrc"
I don't have a directory called .forward nore a file of that name.
and as for my .procmailrc file,
it looks exactly like this.
*FILE BEGINS*
# SpamAssassin sample procmailrc
#
# Pipe the mail through spamassassin (replace 'spamassassin' with 'spamc'
# if you use the spamc/spamd combination)
#
# The condition line ensures that only messages smaller than 250 kB
# (250 * 1024 = 256000 bytes) are processed by SpamAssassin. Most spam
# isn't bigger than a few k and working with big messages can bring
# SpamAssassin to its knees.
#
# The lock file ensures that only 1 spamassassin invocation happens
# at 1 time, to keep the load down.
#
:0fw: spamassassin.lock
* < 256000
| spamassassin
# Mails with a score of 15 or higher are almost certainly spam (with 0.05%
# false positives according to rules/STATISTICS.txt). Let's put them in a
# different mbox. (This one is optional.)
:0:
* ^X-Spam-Level: \*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*
almost-certainly-spam
# All mail tagged as spam (eg. with a score higher than the set threshold)
# is moved to "probably-spam".
:0:
* ^X-Spam-Status: Yes
probably-spam
# Work around procmail bug: any output on stderr will cause the "F" in "From"
# to be dropped. This will re-add it.
:0
* ^^rom[ ]
{
LOG="*** Dropped F off From_ header! Fixing up. "
:0 fhw
| sed -e '1s/^/F/'
}
*file ends*
if anyone can tell me what is wrong, I'd greatly appreciate it.
and yeah I know I'm using sendmail. get rid of it hahaha.
