Pyzor problems:

http://www.atomicorp.com/wiki/index.php/Pyzor

Do you need to change /etc/sysconfig/spamassassin on all Project Gamera installs or are there special configurations that need the altered SPAMDOPTIONS line?

you can do it from the /etc/qmail-scanner.ini file too.

I just want to know if one needs to change anything on a vanilla Project Gamera install to get pyzor to work normally. Is that the case or isn't that the case?

Not normally, no. Sometimes they change the server up stream, and youve got to update the servers file but thats about the extent of the maintenance.

kudos scott. It all seems to be working without a hitch now.

For those following along, the major issue for me seemed to be a conflict in how spamassassin and psa-spamassassin worked (or didn't work) together. So in the end I Uninstalled psa-spamassassin, installed the latest version of SpamAssassin from the ART repos, then manually re-installed psa-spamassassin from the ART repos. I ran qmail-scanner-reconfigure after each step to make sure, not sure if that's technically necessary or not.

My fix for pyzor was a simple one. In its /root/.pyzor/servers file it listed a specific IP number and port to use for connection. I had the port blocked in my firewall, of course. So opening that port up for UDP Out got it working.

At the end of the day it looks like everything is working as hoped. Plus with psa-spamassassin installed again users can set their own hit limit, with the automatic delete feeding off of the number they enter.

The only other tweak I made was to include the QS_SPAMASSASSIN-"on" line to smtp_psa and smtps_psa files in /etc/xinetd.d/ to have SA score those emails.

I've gotta do this on a brand new RHEL server in a few days. I think I'll start that out by removing psa-spamassassin before I do anything else. Hopefully that'll get it working right from the get go.

Thanks for the follow up! One thing I also noticed on PSA 8.3 is that they take the x bit off of /etc/init.d/spamassassin (bad form guys!). Easy enough fix: chmod +x /etc/init.d/spamassassin

I have same problem that spamfilter doesn't delete mails. Actually it doesn't even count scores for mails. Messages (and spams) just goes through the spamfilter. Any ideas?
