spamassassin

Hello

I’m having a problem with SpamAssassin: it isn't generating a report with an attachment when delivering spam.
The option is enabled in the panel. Additionally, I set the following in `/etc/mail/spamassassin/local.cf`:

report_safe 1

I also restarted SpamAssassin and spamd .... it still isn't generating the report. Please help
Debian 12 , DA 1.7.1

Hello,

The option should be set on a user account or domain bases. Connect to directadmin as a user and do it in SpamAssassin setings.

To add to what zEitEr said: per-user settings live in /home/USERNAME/.spamassassin/user_prefs and that file wins over local.cf. Worth opening it for the affected user. If there's a report_safe 0 line in there, that's what is overriding your global setting.
Easiest way to test after changing it is to send that user a mail with the GTUBE string in the body:
XJS*C4JDBQADN1.NSBN3*2IDNEN*GTUBE-STANDARD-ANTI-UBE-TEST-EMAIL*C.34X
It always scores as spam, so you'll see straight away whether the original comes through as an attachment.

Hello, I have 'report' enabled in my SpamAssassin settings.
The `user_prefs` file looks like this:

required_score 5.0
rewrite_header subject *****SPAM*****


report_safe     1




#SAFE AREA start


#SAFE AREA end

The message subject changes correctly, but the attachments are not delivered.
The message is correctly delivered to the SPAM folder, but without the attachment.
I recently migrated the VPS, though I installed SpamAssassin from beginning.

Hello
I’m still struggling with this issue of missing EML reports. I’m wondering if there might be a missing link between SpamAssassin and Exim.
