I followed the directions on the email forum as outlined by the DirectAdmin support for installing and starting SpamAssassin, but after I do so SpamAssassin doesn't start or isn't shown in the process list. Here is what I did:

# cd /usr/local/directadmin/scripts
# ./spam.sh

* <back up exim.conf>

# nano /etc/exim.conf

* make changes according tot he other thread by uncommenting the spam assassin area.

# service exim restart

I then send sample emails and the headers do not show any spamassassin scanning and that is proven when I check the process/service list and nothing is shown about spam assassin.

Here is my output for when installing spam assassin.

Am I doing something wrong? Help!

Thanks!

I did that and spamd is now showing as running in the process list. I did however restart exim, make sure the conf file was setup as:

-----------
# Spam Assassin
spamcheck_director:
driver = accept
condition = "${if and { {!def:h_X-Spam-Flag:} {!eq {$received_protocol}{spam-scanned}} {!eq {$received_protocol}{local}} } $
retry_use_local_part
transport = spamcheck
no_verify
-----------

After that I did a:

-----------
# service exim restart
-----------

Then I sent myself a test message and checked the headers. There wasn't any X-Spam: in the headers and I think that is because the specific domain isn't setup for that. Where do I go to begin setting up files for specific domains to allow/disallow access to spam assassin and it's configuration?

Also, does the spamd -d command make spamassassin start up upon the OS boot? Or do I have to manually modify the init.rd to make /usr/bin/spamd start on boot time?
 
Hello,

The spam only checks incoming email, so if you send yourself a message locally it won't be scanned : {$received_protocol}{local}

I figured that the first time around, then I went to my ISP's DSL account and sent myself messages and checked their headers. Still nothing in it about spamassassin checking the incoming mail. I also checked all of my incoming messages fromother isp's and none of them had a header like X-SPAM: etc.

Any ideas?
