I install SA as per http://www.directadmin.com/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=1193&highlight=spamassasin

When trying to send a mail via squirrelmail or outlook to another account on the same machine i get returned mail saying....................

An error was detected while processing a file of BSMTP input.
The error message was:

421 Lost incoming connection

The SMTP transaction started in line 0.
The error was detected in line 3.
0 previous messages were successfully processed.
The rest of the batch was abandoned.
421 Lost incoming connection
Transaction started in line 0
Error detected in line 3

Any ideas????
 
See you can send mail from a externial mail server to your box.

Check

/var/log/maillog &
/var/log/exim/exim_*

I commented out the spamassassin lines in exim.conf and everything now works as it should (including local delivery)

Any ideas on what could be going wrong?

Hello,

It would seem you're missing the HTML::parser module.. can be found here:

http://search.cpan.org/CPAN/authors/id/G/GA/GAAS/HTML-Parser-3.35.tar.gz

Code: 
wget http://search.cpan.org/CPAN/authors/id/G/GA/GAAS/HTML-Parser-3.35.tar.gz
tar xvzf HTML-Parser-3.35.tar.gz
cd HTML-Parser-3.35
perl Makefile.PL
make
make install
That should get you up and going.

OK did that and all installed ok, uncomment the spamd lines from exim.conf again and restarted

did ps aux | grep spamd which returned nothing.

Tried sending a mail from outside account and got

421 Lost incoming connection

The SMTP transaction started in line 0.
The error was detected in line 3.
0 previous messages were successfully processed.
The rest of the batch was abandoned.
421 Lost incoming connection
Transaction started in line 0
Error detected in line 3

again :(

Try rebooting the system... ugly fix but it should do the trick.

I remember getting that when the spamd (or spamc) programs were broken (can't remember exactly what it was) .. might have been the spamd not running, but it was quite some time ago.

Although this is an old topic, I have run into the same problem (for 2 users) after transferring all sites to a new server.

I found out that it had something to do with the administration of spamassassin in /home/<user>/.spamassassin. If there is a file called "bayes.lock" in this directory, you're in trouble.

The simple solution is to switch off spammassassin for this user in the controlpanel, delete all the files in /home/<user>/.spammassassin and switch spamassassin back on.
