Does spamassassin work on email forwarding?

[Diemux]

Hi all,

One of my customers is only using email forwarding for their domain. On one of their emailaddresses they receive quite a lot of spam. I got spamassassin installed and I would like to know if spamassassin works on email forwarders.

Thanks!

Hello,

By default NO.

Read this http://help.directadmin.com/item.php?id=156 to learn how to enable it.

I have many customers that use email forwarders, and I have not done any changes regarding this, and the email forwarders are in fact scanned by SpamAssassin. So to me it seems default is to also scan email forwarders.

The /etc/exim.conf versions may differ.

I changed the exim.conf, the spamcheck director was commented out (#).

This is my current file:

# Spam Assassin
spamcheck_director:
  driver = accept
  condition = "${if and { \
			{!def:h_X-Spam-Flag:} \
			{!eq {$received_protocol}{spam-scanned}} \
			{!eq {$received_protocol}{local}} \
			{exists{/home/${lookup{$domain}lsearch{/etc/virtual/domainowners}{$value}}/.spamassassin/user_prefs}} \
                        {exists{/etc/virtual/${domain}/passwd}} \
                        { \
                        or \
                        { \
                                {!eq {}{${lookup{$local_part}lsearch{/etc/virtual/${domain}/passwd}}}} \
                                {!eq {}{${lookup{$local_part}lsearch{/etc/virtual/${domain}/aliases}}}} \
                                {eq {$local_part} {${lookup{$domain}lsearch{/etc/virtual/domainowners}}}}  \
                         } \
                         } \
			{<{$message_size}{200k}} \	
		} {1}{0}}"
  retry_use_local_part
  transport = spamcheck
  no_verify

I restarted exim but now when I go to spamassassin admin:

Unable to setup spamassassin

Do you start it as root (superuser)? Is selinux disabled?

 

[Diemux]

Ah... That was stupid.

Start spamassassin with superuser and now spamd is started correctly.

Thanks!

You just start spamassassin with /etc/init.d/exim restart
