sendmail and spamassassin

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]



I have a problem getting spamd and sendmail (both stock CentOS4 rpms) 
to work together on a couple of smtp relay machines.  This is clearly 
a configuration issue and no doubt revolves around my lack of 
comprehension of how this is to work.

Basically, the setup consists of two frontend public smtp transports 
that redirect all email through a firewall to an internal imap server 
for final delivery.  The firewall and sendmail access map prohibit 
connections to the imap server except for the local MX gateway.  The 
external MX gateway is a fallback mx server that routes everything it 
queues through the primary gateway.

So:

MX 2 routes to MX 1 that routes to IMAP

MX 2 and MX 1 are running spamd.

the sendmail.m4 file has the following at its very end:

dnl #
dnl # MAILERs are always last after all FEATURES are defined
MAILER(smtp)dnl
MAILER(procmail)dnl


The contents of /etc/procmailrc are:

:0fw
| /usr/bin/spamassassin


Spamd is running on both.

There is a local configuration rule set in 
/etc/mail/spamassassin/local.cf

Passing a test message through spamc on MX 1 or MX 2 does not seem to 
pick up this rule even for messages constructed to trigger it.  
Passing spam messages through spamc -R identifies messages that have 
passed through the relays without any spam tags as being high scoring 
spam.

What am I doing wrong?

Regards,
Jim
