Gentle friends, I'm running sendmail, procmail, and spamassassin in daemon mode, i.e., spamd, on a FreeBSD 4.5 server:
2012 ?? Is 0:01.11 /usr/bin/perl /usr/bin/spamd -d -F 0 I'd thought I had procmail and spamd playing nicely together when the procmail.log showed all the spam being identified and rerouted. But then I noticed that non-spam messages were not making it through to my mailbox, despite the procmail.log's entries to the contrary. Furthermore, messages that had been reported as being delivered to my mailbox were not only missing in action, the mailbox (which had previously contained many messages) was now empty: -rw------- 1 mdb mdb 0 May 6 15:26 /var/mail/mdb My client leaves mail on the server, so it's definitely procmail/spamd doing the emptying. Here's my .procmailrc: LOGFILE=procmail.log LOG=" " VERBOSE=yes LOGABSTRACT=all MAILDIR=$HOME/mail # Start of filters :0: * ^Subject:.*test test_msgs # Filter through spamassassin's spamd :0fw | spamc # Archive the spam :0: * ^X-Spam-Status: Yes filtered_spam # Messages that fall through are delivered to default INBOX, # i.e., /var/mail/michelle From procmail.log: procmail: [72630] Mon May 6 13:56:17 2002 procmail: Assigning "LOGABSTRACT=all" procmail: Assigning "MAILDIR=/home/mdb/mail" procmail: Executing "spamc" procmail: [72630] Mon May 6 13:56:20 2002 procmail: No match on "^X-Spam-Status: Yes" procmail: Bypassed locking "/var/mail/mdb.lock" procmail: Assigning "LASTFOLDER=/var/mail/mdb" procmail: Opening "/var/mail/mdb" procmail: Acquiring kernel-lock procmail: Notified comsat: "mdb@221815:/var/mail/mdb" Subject: Re: Hee hee!

Folder: filtered_spam 4980 As I said, actual spam is being caught and put into ~mdb/mail/filtered_spam, just as it should, but non-spam is not being delivered to /var/mail/mdb as the procmail.log entry above indicates. And the mailbox is being zeroed out to boot. However, the test filter identifies and redirects test messages as it should and allows non-test mail to pass: :0: * ^Subject:.*test test_msgs Commenting out the filter that runs spamc returns everything to normal, so it has to be the culprit. I admit it, I'm stymied. I hope the list can shed some light. .\\ichelle --------------------- Michelle Brownsworth System Administrator PrimeLogic Corporation http://www.primelogic.com _______________________________________________________________ Have big pipes?
