Re: spamd and SQL

[Henry F. Camacho Jr]

Ok,

Just do what Matt said and pass the username to spamc with the -u option. It'll do exactly what you want.

Hope this helps someone someday..

I don't understand what Daryl and Matt are saying by the above? Remember this is a system wide installation and not just running for my account. I don't know where I would set spamc -u, because procmail isn't being called. This is a sendmail installation running in a scalix environment, and there for no unix accounts, etc. What I have found however, is I can have spamass-milter set with -u -e which tells spamass-milter to pass the full to:email address to spamd for each email to process which is exactly what I wanted it to do. For each email that hits sendmail, it is miltered to SA with a [EMAIL PROTECTED] Now I have a problem wtih the SQL.pm object in SA performing the correct query, but that is another answer.

True.. And that username CAN be specified by spamc -u. Spamc passes it to spamd,

spamd uses it when calling SQL.

Quoting from the SPAMc man page:

       -u username

This argument has been semi-obsoleted. To have spamd use per-user-config files, run spamc as the user whose config files spamd should load. If youâre running spamc as some other user, though, (eg. root, mail, nobody, cyrus, etc.) then you can still use this flag.

"[EMAIL PROTECTED]" is passed to spamd as "hfc"

In this situation this would work assuming that local delivery is happening through procmail or some other method whereby spamc is called with the username. The -u option for spamd does something very interesting. It takes the user portion of the address and stripes off the domain, so you get something like this:

Thanks for your help with

It will find just hfc, but I really need it to find the whole to: address so that I can use this site wide.

Just do what Matt said and pass the username to spamc with the -u option. It'll do exactly what you want. You do NOT want to be calling spamd for every message. Start it once, it's the daemon. Pass messages to spamc (using the -u option), it's the client.
