spamc not seeing razor/pyzor/dcc while spamassassin does
Hello spamassassin-users@incubator.apache.org,

tryed googling and searching list archives but nothing was found
helped me alot ... so i'll try to accurately describe my config
(it'l be long but im trying not to miss any thing)

qmail + qmail-scanner + spamassassin + razor2 + pyzor + dcc ... all
versions are freshest

the problem: spamc doesn't use razor/pyzor/dcc ... how i learned it:

1) ran:

cat ~triton/tar/spamassassin/Mail-SpamAssassin-2.63/sample-spam.txt | spamassassin -D

and seen that in output:

****************
X-Spam-Report:
* 1000 GTUBE BODY: Generic Test for Unsolicited Bulk Email
* 1.6 RAZOR2_CF_RANGE_51_100 BODY: Razor2 gives confidence between 51 and 100
* [cf: 100]
* 0.9 RAZOR2_CHECK Listed in Razor2 (http://razor.sf.net/)
* 1.8 DCC_CHECK Listed in DCC (http://rhyolite.com/anti-spam/dcc/)
****************
pyzor timeouted but works OK

2) ran:
spamd -L -x -u spamd -D -p 7830 &
cat ~triton/tar/spamassassin/Mail-SpamAssassin-2.63/sample-spam.txt | spamc -p 7830

and the output is:

X-Spam-Level: **************************************************

This is the GTUBE, the
Generic
Test for
Unsolicited
Bulk
Email

If your spam filter supports it, the GTUBE provides a test by which you
can verify that the filter is installed correctly and is detecting incoming
spam. You can send yourself a test mail containing the following string of
characters (in upper case and with no white spaces and line breaks):

XJS*C4JDBQADN1.NSBN3*2IDNEN*GTUBE-STANDARD-ANTI-UBE-TEST-EMAIL*C.34X

You should send this test mail from an account outside of your network.
****************

it does not tell anything about helper apps ... nothing ...


my /etc/mail/spamassassin/local.conf:
****************
skip_rbl_checks 1
required_hits 5
#use_terse_report 1
dns_available yes
rewrite_subject 1
spam_level_stars 1
subject_tag *** SPAM:
####report_header 1
report_safe 0
ok_languages en ru
use_razor2 1
razor_config /etc/razor/razor-agent.conf

trusted_networks 192.168.0.

whitelist_from *@subscribe.ru
whitelist_from citialerts.russia@citibank.com
whitelist_from *@trainings.ru
****************

user spamd has home dir and ~spamd/.razor is symlink to /etc/razor

/etc/razor is owned by root.spamd and is group-readable ...


what else can i tell ... spamc is NOT using helper apps ... HOW can i
fix it????

OMG! I saw the score this got, and I was like WTF!?!?

Alex, man... Don't put the test string in mailing list postings. I'm not
sure, but even if I had the SA list whitelisted I think it would have gone
right into my spam folder. OH... and if it helps, razor didn't trigger on
this end either...
Re: spamc not seeing razor/pyzor/dcc while spamassassin does [ In reply to ]
Now that was a great idea to include the GTUBE test in the mail (see
below why) :) No, seriously - please dont do that because it overrides
even the SA-Mailinglist whitelisting (not only at my system I assume).

Best wishes, Nico

It did go straight into my SPAM folder. GTUBE adds many points.
