Spam folder issues

Hi all,

I've recently moved my stuff to a new server, but I'm still having issues with spamassassin/exim filter - any ideas or pointers would be very welcome.

Spamassassin is configured to send mail of a certain spam score "to the email account's spam folder". After a long search, I finally figured out it ends up in:

homedirectory/Maildir/.INBOX.spam

and not in:

homedirectory/imap/domain.com/username/Maildir/.INBOX.spam

like it should.

The SPAM filter in the user DA account is configured to send to "send to spambox" - yet I still have to figure out where those are going. Test mail leaves a "discarded R=domain_filter" in the log files and that's the last I've seen of it. Not sure if "discarded" means it was sent to a presumed spambox of unknown location, or if it means that setting isn't honored in the first place.

What irritates me is that I'm not setting this up from scratch - I moved accounts from the previous server and double-checked everything, there's no reason why it shouldn't be working.

This may be unrelated, but on the new server, the service spamd was down and couldn't be started, so I rebuild spamassassin via Custombuild. Again, I rechecked all config files and it doesn't seem like anything was overwritten, but it seems kinda obvious that spamassassin doesn't know where my spam folders are. :/
 
Very odd. Turns out that /etc/virtual/mydomain/filter couldn't see the spam folder in the imap directory due to wrong permissions (rwxrwx--- instead of rwxr-x--x). Strange indeed. :unsure:
