Hi Dave,
I used the following instructions to set up the system, but they weren't
followed verbatim because I already had some things in place.
https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-configure-a-mail-server-using-postfix-dovecot-mysql-and-spamassassin
More recently, I found this one:
https://www.exratione.com/2016/05/a-mailserver-on-ubuntu-16-04-postfix-dovecot-mysql/
Which I've used to check what I've got. It /seems/ to be set up OK.
I don't know how much of this is useful or helpful, but you mentioned
amavis-new. My process list currently contains:
clamav 1001 1 0 2016 ? 00:38:54 /usr/bin/freshclam -d
--foreground=true
clamav 1018 1 0 2016 ? 01:46:43 /usr/sbin/clamd
--foreground=true
amavis 1680 1 0 2016 ? 00:01:40 /usr/sbin/amavisd-new (master)
amavis 10898 1680 0 17:29 ? 00:00:01 /usr/sbin/amavisd-new
(ch7-avail)
amavis 15292 1680 0 22:16 ? 00:00:00 /usr/sbin/amavisd-new
(ch1-avail)
postfix 15337 7599 0 22:19 ? 00:00:00 smtp -n amavis -t unix -u -o
smtp_data_done_timeout=1200 -o smtp_send_xforward_command=yes -o
disable_dns_lookups=yes -o max_use=20
amavis 15344 1680 0 22:19 ? 00:00:00 /usr/sbin/amavisd-new
(ch1-avail)
I've posted the spamfilter.sh file to http://pasted.co/7b794ccd
I don't see anything in there about verbose logging, but there are two lines in
there with a resemblance to your suggestion:
logger -f $SALOG -p mail.notice -t spamfilter <<<"Spam filter piping to
SpamAssassin: $SPAMASSASSIN -x -E -s $MAX_MESSAGE_SIZE"
and
logger -s -p mail.notice -t spamfilter <<<"OK. Piping to sendmail: $SENDMAIL
$@"
The second one seems to be after-the-fact, so I think I could modify the first
one. Should this be cut down to:
$SPAMASSASSIN -x -E -s $MAX_MESSAGE_SIZE
to avoid the logging process?
Kind regards.
Jim.

Hi,
I thought spamfilter was spamassassin.
Looking through my config files, the postfix master.cf file contains
the line:
flags=Rq user=spamd argv=/usr/bin/spamfilter.sh -oi -f ${sender}
${recipient}
/usr/bin/spamfilter.sh is described in the comments as:
Where did you get the instructions to put this whole system together? You
mentioned amavisd-new, but this doesn't look to be using amavisd-new at all.
Look through the script for something relating to "debug" or "verbose" or
"info:" or something pertaining to logging and disable it.
In fact, a little googling shows this:
logger <<<"Spam filter piping to SpamAssassin, then to: $SENDMAIL $@"
${SPAMASSASSIN} | ${SENDMAIL} "$@"
You should be able to comment that out and instead use the following in place:
${SENDMAIL} "$@"
Current log file is up to 165 Gb.
You should look at your logging and/or log rotating system to get this under
control. I believe that's going to be /etc/logrotate.d/

Dave
Kind regards.

Hi,
My set up consists of Postfix, Postgrey, Spamassassin, Clam-AV,
Amavis-new and Dovecot.
What is "spamfilter"?
Apr 2 10:31:26 oss2 spamfilter: Sun Oct 16 07:24:13 2016 [16208]
info: spamd:
connection from ip6-localhost [::1]:53930 to port 783, fd 5
What operating system?
Regards,
Dave
