Why not tie SA into qmail and avoid the mda command you're using?
If that's not possible you'll need to show log entries showing your problem.

The MDA option doesn't look correct. Spamc expects a command after -e, and qmail-queue programs (and substitutes) expect two file descriptors for input. One for the envelope, one for the data. Is there a particular reason why you're using the "mda" option? And then in a way that loses envelope information? I wonder how you are getting messages at all with this setup, you should get something like: /usr/bin/spamc: option requires an argument -- e Besides that, qmail-scanner claims to integrate with SpamAssassin - so there should be some qmail-scanner documentation on that topic. Try checking the documentation and understanding or describing to somebody - what you want to achieve - how you can get there rather than taking lines out of a context and trying them out. A systematic approach will probably be more successful than guessing here. -- Matthias Andree |

Which also doesn't use a monolitic architecture (ok, so it's only 2
daemons, but it's a step in the right direction) or maildir...
Now, can we stop this evangelising over the best/worst choice of MTA :-)

Ah well, if you want Maildir underneath sendmail, you can always install maildrop and use it as filter application or mailer. At least sendmail is actively maintained so its security holes get plugged in reasonable time. qmail's holes are open for like eight years now... For a change of subject, the best MTA is fetchmail, of course. =:-> > Now, can we stop this evangelising over the best/worst choice of MTA :-) Agreed.

You need to 1 - find out how to integrate qmail-scanner with qmail (that's in the qmail-scanner documentation) 2 - test if qmail-scanner is working, before you proceed 3 - if it works, integrate SpamAssassin into qmail-scanner. We cannot help here, that should be in the qmail-scanner documentation. Or ask on the qmail-scanner list. 4 - find out if you can use a better POP3 server than qmail's. qmail's POP3 server has security flaws and reports the wrong message sizes, thus it confuses clients. My personal favorite setup would probably use Postfix + amavisd-new (which integrates Spamassassin) + Dovecot or Courier-IMAP or Cyrus - but vpopmail does not integrate well with these. http://www.postfix.org/addon.html#config lists a few pointers should you decide to switch. > .fethmailrc use this settings > > poll 72.29.74.211 protocol pop3 > > user 'oz...@ne...' there with password 'mypass' is > 'de...@co...' here > > my mail in my inbox but not scanning spamm :( > > what do i do ? The fetchmailrc part looks fine, so it would be a problem in your qmail or qmail-scanner setup. -- Matthias Andree |

Thanks) Unfortunately Berlios is only running Mailman 2.0.13, so that option isn't there. It appears to be a Mailman 2.1 feature. -- ==============================| "A microscope locked in on one point Rob Funk <rf...@fu...> |Never sees what kind of room that it's in" http://www.funknet.net/rfunk | -- Chris Mars, "Stuck in Rewind" |

The problem is related to your local SMTP server configuration, it has
nothing to do with fetchmail. You need to resolve your qmail
configuration problems.
(I'd guess that mail from localhost/loopback isn't being scanned)
