hey,

i'm using spamblocker 3 with spamassasign and clamav

i guess dnsrbl's doesn't work i found a script to read out spam logs:

server1# ./spam

/var/log/exim/mainlog.2:0
/var/log/exim/mainlog.3:0
/var/log/exim/mainlog.4:0

thats my output so i guess nothing is done to the spam?

btw i'm using dovecot with Exim 4.62

the files in /etc/virtual like use_rbl_domains and whitelist_domains* are all empty is that normal?

anyone has a solution ?
we are running freebsd 6.3

Greets,

anything else to be done?

will new domainnames/subs automatic be added in use_rbl_domains?
 
There's no management built into DirectAdmin for SpamBlocker. You can either manually add domain names to use_rbl_domains, try one of the two plugins available (search these forums) for management, or remove use_rbl_domains and link it to /etc/virtual/domains, for it to work for all domains on the server.

oh ic

lrwxr-xr-x 1 root mail 7 Aug 7 12:25 use_rbl_domains -> domains


this should work i guess ;)

Greets,

i'm wondering if they is some working stats with exim + directadmin + spamassasign + spamblocker 3
 
You can create your own:

grep /var/log/exim/rejectlog; if all you want is the count blocked by the SpamBlocker exim.conf file then all you really need is the number of lines per day; grep by the date with the -c parameter.

SpamAssassin: save all triggering emails to mailboxes, and grep and count the emails in the mailboxes.
