I have a couple new installs of SA3 (on RH9 from rpm) where I knew AWL did not run and today I decided to see why.
The output from -D --lint is:
debug: lock: 31719 created /var/spool/spamassassin/auto-whitelist.lock.mx1.domain.com.31719 debug: lock: 31719 trying to get lock on /var/spool/spamassassin/auto-whitelist with 0 retries debug: lock: 31719 link to /var/spool/spamassassin/auto-whitelist.lock: link ok debug: Tie-ing to DB file R/W in /var/spool/spamassassin/auto-whitelist debug: unlock: 31719 unlink /var/spool/spamassassin/auto-whitelist.lock debug: open of AWL file failed: Cannot open auto_whitelist_path /var/spool/spamassassin/auto-whitelist: Inappropriate ioctl for device
debug: Post AWL score: 0.299000000000001
So I've done the obvious and checked the user settings and permissions are set correctly, indeed I opened the permissions up on the AWL directory.
One thing I thought could be a problem is that I have two versions of DB on this system:
db4-4.0.14-20 db4-4.1.25-14
And I also have:
gdbm-1.8.0-20
So I've set "auto_whitelist_db_modules" to "DB_File" and "GDBM_File" separately and retested.
None of which is having any effect on the lint output. I've done a fair bit of searching for others showing this error but the postings I'm finding relate to older versions of SA.
Currently I have the following re. AWL in local.cf:
# Auto Whitelist use_auto_whitelist 1 auto_whitelist_path /var/spool/spamassassin/auto-whitelist auto_whitelist_file_mode 0777 auto_whitelist_db_modules GDBM_File
Does anyone have any thoughts on why AWL is not working here? Are there some initiation procedures that need to be run?
Thanks
Alan
