Hi All,

Has anyone started a SpamAssassin module for Webmin?

[webmin-l] SpamAssassin

[MAR <we...@ro...>]

I just installed spam assassin, and in the webmin module get this message:

"SpamAssassin does not appear to be set up in the system's Procmail configuration file /etc/procmailrc, so any configuration done using this module will have no effect unless users have it set up individually."

Does this mean I can only use spamassassin with procmail?  I am currently running sendmail under mailscanner.  Any tips for combining the two, or do I need to choose to run one or the other?

Thanks,

MR

You do not have to use Procmail and MailScanner works best with SpamAssas=

installed. Be sure to install CalmAV as well to fight viruses. You can al=

In your case, that message can be safely ignored. Because most people run spamassassin
from procmail, Webmin checks for this and can add it to /etc/procmailrc if missing. However,
if it is run from your mail server directly or via mailscanner, click on the Module
Config link and change the 'Display warning if SpamAssassin is not set up?' option to No.
