Re: Python exception with pyzor
I don't think this will help you, but how old is your Pyzor install?
The thing is that after installing the package you need to perform additional steps to make it actually work.
Add to /etc/mail/spamassassin/local.cf
then create /etc/mail/spamassassin/.pyzor and chown it popuser.popuser
Next, run the following as root:
and chown the resulting /etc/mail/spamassassin/.pyzor/servers to popuser.popuser
Next, change the 1st line in /usr/bin/pyzor to add -Wignore ::DeprecationWarning. i.e. the 1st line should read:
Finally, you may need to add port 24441 (I think!) which is used by pyzor to your firwall allow rule.
For a number of years I'd just allowed the IP of the server mentioned in the "server" file, but it appears that its IP is regularly changing and occasionally I get errors.
Now, as I said, this may not be your problem, but I hope it is as hopefully it will solve it for you.
Note that there is also the need to configure razor, but dcc is fine after installation, with the possible exception of needing to add a particular directive to local.cf to make it happier.
*** It is a great shame that there's no mechanism in RPMs to display a little message after command-line package installation via yum or rpm to say something like "package installed, but you now need to confgure it - see https://blah.domain.tld for info" or something like that. Without such a message is it difficult to know if you are done after install, or if there's more to do!

Re: Python exception with pyzor
Glad to hear it is working.
For completeness, readers please note that you need to "service spamassassin restart" to get changes you make to come into effect.
Also for completeness on this forum, here are the Razor instructions:
First: mkdir /etc/mail/spamassassin/.razor then chown it popuser.popuser
Next, run the following commands (as root is fine):
Now chown popuser.popuser everything in .razor
Next, tell spamd where to find Razor's config file by editing /etc/mail/spamassassin/local.cf and adding:
Finally, edit /etc/mail/spamassassin/.razor/razor-agent.conf to add:
FOR DCC
just add: dcc_path /usr/bin/dccproc to local.cf, although I don't know how much good or bad this might be doing, because DCC seems to work just fine without it and still complains (in a non-fatal way)about stuff when you run spamassassin -D
GENERAL NOTE:
When you run spamassassin -D < some-test-email.txt note that you are doing so as root. As spamassassin does not generally run as root (it runs as popuser usually), this does not give you the full story.
So, what you need to do is a trick I learned from breun:
This will give you a bash shell running as popuser.
You can then try spamassassin -D < some-test-email.txt (make sure some-email-txt is readable by popuser first!) which will run as popuser and may give you errors you would not normally have seen.
Note that I still don't know how one controls which user spamassassin runs as in a qmail-scanner environment. It would be handy to know, at least how to find out the correct user if it is not popuser.
EDIT: I'm doubting myself over whether spamd runs as root or not now. Somebody come to my rescue please?
