Qmail Rocks Fedora Config Upgrade Request

[ricbax]

I have been using the qmailrocks qmail setup for almost a year now and it has been great so far. :)

I have a request though and that is a better spam solution needs to be integrated into the current configuration instructions. ClamAV, Qtrap, SpamAssassin are just not enough for these over zealous Spammers.

I have tried integrating DSPAM (http://dspam.nuclearelephant.com/) which is a Bayesian type spam filtering system and learns to detect "spams" and filter for acceptable "ham" as they say. According to various sources, if installed correctly and maintained can have 99% accuracy with the missing 1% due to false positives. So for every 100 spams you only get 1, I think that makes it a worthwhile inclusion to the qmailrocks config?

Anyways my request is the possiblity of adding DSPAM to the integration of this to the qmailrocks setup.

SpamAssassin is only going to be as good as how much you train bayes and also how many rules it knows about. The basic SpamAssassin setup does not catch enough spams. This is why I made this guide:

Thanks w0ls0n, looking now..

I don't suppose anyone has a guide for upgrading spamassassin - the qmailrocks version is old as.. and I tried upgrading spamassassin, but had no luck - the email headers still show the old signature..

Hi,

The headers of qmail-scanner won't change until you update the qmail-scanner database. Look in the maintaining your server section in your guide.

I upgraded spamassassin I thought, and performed the setguid function, but still it shows the following signature:

Received: from xx.xx.xx.xx by nermal (envelope-from <xxxxx>, uid 1011) with qmail-scanner-1.25-st-qms (clamdscan: 0.83/705. spamassassin: 3.0.2. perlscan: 1.25-st-qms.

I upgraded spamassassin to the latest and made sure it is running:
$ cat /etc/init.d/spamd |grep DAEMON
DAEMON=/usr/bin/spamd

$ /usr/bin/spamd -V
SpamAssassin Server version 3.1.7
running on Perl 5.8.4
with SSL support (IO::Socket::SSL 0.96)

$ ps axu |grep spam
root 27608 0.2 2.7 31292 28552 ? Ss 23:33 0:00 /usr/bin/spamd -x -u spamd -H /home/spamd -d --pidfile=/var/run/spamd/spamd.pid
spamd 27610 0.0 2.9 32888 30144 ? S 23:34 0:00 spamd child
spamd 27611 0.0 2.7 31292 28556 ? S 23:34 0:00 spamd child

Any help would be great!

I am getting so much spam ! :(

[akb]

Netforce, thanks for that guide, its great !..

I've now applied it all to my mail server.. so we'll see how it goes.. and reply here tomorrow.

[akb]

Nope.. still getting spam every few minutes..

This is really weird.. because the subject's aren't being changed to '****SPAM****' like is set in the new config..

The email signature has also not changed.

Somethings wrong somewhere..
