verbose_spamassassin ?

Is there a way to enable qmail-scanner's verbose_spamassassin mode so I could change the subject line, use safe encapsulation, etc etc? I can't seem to figure out how to do it.

Yeah its pretty well covered on the q-s site, but as I recall you just need to throw spamc into verbose mode and change from fast_spamassassin to just spamassassin. The q-s site will have more info (qmail-scanner.sf.net)

Got it!

All i had to do was in /var/qmail/bin/qmail-scanner-queue.pl :

Code: Select all

# st: fast_spamassassin options=" -c " / verbose_spamassassion options=" "
# remember that the routine sa_alt ignores these options.
#my $spamc_options=' -c ';  # duplicate and comment this line out
my $spamc_options='  ';     # remove the -c

By the way -- if you turn off the Dr. Web service, qmail-scanner stops working. Even if you turn it back on, qmail-scanner still doesn't work.

I wonder if it detects the dr. web content scanner and uses it internally. I didn't see it listed on its known scanners list though

I actually ended up in a rather nightmarish situation for the last hour and a half where I basically seemed to have blown away my entire mail system.... I ended up at one point with fifty thousand identical messages looping through qmailscanner ... (there was something to do with one piece of qmail expecting to see qmail-queue.orig and another expecting to see qmail-queue.origin, I think)

Just to be safe I ended up restoring the whole machine from a backup snapshot taken this morning at 10AM. I think I won't play with Dr.Web any more... at least now I have a working mail system... if drweb wants to run a daemon that does nothing, I'll let it. clamav is working, spamassassin is working, ... I'll leave well enough alone now!
