Configure Exim And Spamassassin
May 20, 2009
I need to configure Spamassassin to not check outgoing mails
So I need to check only mails that are hosts on my mail server, but mails which relay not to be checked.
configuration of Spamassassin in exim:
warn spam = nobody
warn message = X-Spam_score: $spam_score
X-Spam_score_int: $spam_score_int
X-Spam_bar: $spam_bar
X-Spam_report: $spam_report
condition = ${if eq {$acl_m1}{local_to_check_spam} {yes}{no}}
!condition = ${if eq {$acl_m0}{local_to_check} {yes}{no}}
Maybe it's need just one line in Spamassassing local.cf?

I've been fighting with a cpanel VPN for a few days now. I'm trying to figure out how to implement a filter for stopping spam over a point count of say 10 from being sent to our central spam box.
I've tried several different settings in the .filter file, but am having no luck.
here is what is in the .filter now.
Code:
$message_headers contains "X-Spam-Level: **********"+++++++/dev/null
$h_X-Spam-Status: begins "Yes"+++++++spam@example.com
This is what I had tried, with no luck
Code:
# Exim filter
logfile /home/USER/filter.log
logwrite "Logging"
if error_message then finish endif
if $h_X-Spam-Level: contains "**********"
then
Discard
logwrite "discarded"
seen finish #delete them!
endif
if $h_X-Spam-Status: begins "Yes"
then
deliver spam@example.com
logwrite "sending to spam"
seen finish
endif
The log didn't work (I touched the file and chowned/chmoded it.. no luck), and all the mail kept getting through to the spam box.. some with scores of 20+.
It should be filtering the spam with a higher level (10 or up) and tossing them away, allowing the 5-10 point mails to go through to the spam box.
So far everything is going through. If you need more logs to see what is happening, I'll be happy to get them up.

I am a Qmail users all these while and i can control the email routing via smtproutes and rcpthosts.
How can I do this in Exim?
I have a website xyz.com hosted in this server but the email server is hosted seperately. By default, i think all the email submitted locally will be send within the server itself. I need Exim to think xyz.com is a remote domain.

Alright now this is the most intelligent way to send spam I have ever seen. Apparently a guy has made a PHP or Perl script that is acting as an MTA. That's right: He is neither using Sendmail nor Exim but he made a script that acts as an MTA. That means the script itself connects to third party mailservers via port 25 and communicates with the remote mailserver as if it was an MTA itself. This works even if Exim is entirely disbaled...
The spam still get's sent. The script is running only occasionally...not like a daemon.
So it is nearly impossible to locate it. You have no Exim logs to look at. And in the Apache logs any PHP script could be it... You are not able to find that out. Therefore I am unable to stop him unless I manage to block outgoing connections to another host's port 25 for any program but for exim.
How can I configure my firewall (APF) so that only Exim my connect to other servers via port 25? Is that even possible?

I need to clean up the .spamassassin directory for all the accounts on the server. The Bayes files are getting too big and causing mail handling issues.
How would I do that?
I assume this won't work - and don't want to try it until I hear a little feedback:
rm -f /home/*/.spamassassin/*bayes*
Basically, I need a command that will do what the above command looks like it would do - I just don't think the wildcards will work in that manner, and don't want to try it for fear of deleting items outside of the .spamassassin directory.
I'm running CentOS 5.3.x with cPanel/WHM - if it matters...
And feel free to suggest other spam blocking software - but we've gotten rather good at tweaking SA to get the job done. Just this annoyance of the bayes files growing continuously is a pain sometimes...

I am having issues in receieving emails. For some reason, the rbl lists I had setup are causing the server to reject emails (retry - timeout). So, I need to take this rbl list completely. How can I do that? exim.conf is locked and using the advanced editor is no fun even though I tried it putting the dnslists without the rbl causing the problem.

I'm running the latest port version on FreeBSD of Postfix, Spamassassin (Razor & Pryzor), ClamAV, and Amavisd-new. I haven't gotten any spam for a while. The 2-3 days including today i've been getting 10+ spams per day. This seemed to happen after the update of spamassasin recently.
Anyone else experiencing this? My rules are pretty quick, at spam-score "5" I reject the mail.

I installed SpamAssasin and set it up in DA, I also use Spam Filter option in DirectAdmin (DA).
The problem is that if someone send me an email which contains any adult word in the body and a regular subject then it will not go to the Spam box, but if that email contains any adult word in the subject and no matter the body has adult word or not it will go to Spam box.
How do i send all the emails contain adult word in body to Spam box?
i have Dovecot installed.

here to install spamassassin but however have a few questions as im new to doing technical things in ssh.
[url]
On step 3 of the tutorial, we are asked to change things in the /etc/exim.conf file, what is the proper command to navigate to this file and how to replace those text?
Quote:
The global spamassassin config file is in /etc/mail/spamassassin/local.cf
You'll want to make sure that you have the correct call to spamc in the spamcheck transport in your exim.conf:
transport_filter = /usr/bin/spamc -u ${lookup{$domain}lsearch*{/etc/virtual/domainowners}{$value}}
For the lines i quoted, im not sure what i have to do here and how to do it.
Lastly how do i know if im installing latest version of spamas and how to test weather it is working against spam?

some good hosts that use more than just SpamAssassin (SA) for their spam filtering?
For instance, MediaTemple uses the Cloudmark plug-in, which greatly improves the stopping of spam. SA out of the box is horrible; and yes, I realize that with some tweaking it "can" be good.

I am setting up spam assassin white list and it says I can put *@domain.com so does that mean it will white list everything from domain.com ?

Whitelist and blacklist addresses are now file-glob-style patterns, so friend@somewhere.com, *@isp.com, or *.domain.net will all work. Specifically, * and ? are allowed, but all other metacharacters are not. Regular expressions are not used for security reasons.

Is there any way to define black lists for a specific domain?
Like, a file for each user: user1.cf, user2.cf.
And when that user receives email, Mailscanner will check server-wide filter AND domain specific filter.
Any advanced MS/SA users?

I have a dedicated server. It is a Fedora Core 6. It came with "Plesk 30 domain license". However, this license of Plesk doesn't have SpamAssassin enabled. In order to get the license with SpamAssassin, it costs an extra $30 a month.
I believe SpamAssassin by default is in fact installed on the sever, but some of my users are reporting that they are getting Spam. How can I check is SpamAssassin is running? How do I configure SpamAssassin to filter spam on all the e-mail addresses that are created in Plesk?
I have SSH access to the server.

The problem I currently have is that all e-mails tagged by SpamAssassin as spam are deleted even though they are supposed to be moved to a different "probably-spam" file. In addition, I'd like to use the spamc + spamd configuration and I'm not using it now.
I tested that procmail is installed on my CentOS 5 server that's also using sendmail.
yum remove spamassassin // In case it is pre-installed. It was the last time I did this.
// Download it at spamassassin.apache.org:
wget [url]
tar xvfz Mail-SpamAssassin-3.2.3.tar.gz
cd /Mail-SpamAssassin-3.2.3
perl build/check_dependencies // Checks which perl module dependencies are missing that need to be installed before proceeding. Then install them
perl Makefile.PL
make
make install
Upload your own spamassassin/local.conf to /etc/mail/spamassassin
Code:
# This is the right place to customize your installation of SpamAssassin.
#
# See 'perldoc Mail::SpamAssassin::Conf' for details of what can be
# tweaked.
#
# Only a small subset of options are listed below
#
###########################################################################
# Add *****SPAM***** to the Subject header of spam e-mails

#
# report_safe 1
# Set which networks or hosts are considered 'trusted' by your mail

Make /home/tero world executable (chmod 751)
Upload.procmail to /home/tero // My e-mail user's name.
Code:
:0fw: spamassassin.lock
* < 256000

# Mails with a score of 13 or higher are almost certainly spam. Let's delete them.
:0:

# All mail tagged as spam (eg. with a score higher than the set threshold)
# is moved to "probably-spam".
:0:
* ^X-Spam-Status: Yes
/home/tero/mail/probably-spam
# Work around procmail bug: any output on stderr will cause the "F" in "From"
# to be dropped. This will re-add it.
:0
* ^^rom[ ]
{
:0 fhw
| sed -e '1s/^/F/'
}
I figured that this might be a permissions problem but what I can do without risking security?
