Spamassassin local.cf ignored

[sergio_eristoff]

Hello!

I have now successfully installed an EFA5 with Rocky Linux 9. So far it works fine, but I have a problem with Spamassassin. Various scores are too low for my taste, so I have always adjusted them, but this does not work.
I have already copied the old local.cf from my old EFA4 installation, but this is ignored.

Is another configuration file responsible here?

Thank you!

I'm finding the same thing. I've got a local-seo.cf that was catching the seo spam under Efa4, yet this file looks like it's not even getting read in by the system.

it's located in the "/etc/mail/spamassassin" dir

Hi,

My local.cf from eFa v4, cek permission first:
1)

Code: Select all

[root@mx spamassassin]# ls -l local.cf
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 10854 Jun 23 20:40 local.cf

2)

Code: Select all

[root@mx ~]# spamassassin --lint

Need to edit your rules if error appears

3)
[root@mx ~]# sa-update
[root@mx ~]# sa-compile
[root@mx ~]# systemctl restart spamassassin

Add: I also remove any loadplugin inside the local.cf

I have followed your instructions but still the same result. The local.cf is ignored by Spamassassin.
There were no errors with the mentioned commands.

I now have a working spamassasin setup.

A fresh rocky 9.x/efa5 has this in the /etc/mail/spamassasin directory.
Note: The symlink for mailscanner.cf to /etc/MailScanner/spamassassin.conf

The system that was failing, was a fresh install and then a import of efa4 config following the instructions on the site to migrate.
The import doesn't get a couple of things right.

1. It removes the symlink and crates a mailscanner.cf file (forgot to save that file)
2. It changes the mailscanner.cf file, and gets the config for the geoip section wrong. Causing SpamAssassin to not load correctly.
I coped a working mailscanner.cf file from another machine that was just a install/config, only preserving the mysql section, I get a working spamassassin install.

@avtivateit Thank you for your answer. I tried your commands but it´s not helping.

I also get the following errors:

spamd shouldn't be running, stop and disable it.

Code: Select all

sudo systemctl stop spamassassin
sudo systemctl disable spamassassin

Hello everyone, I wanted to disable the THREAD_INDEX_BAD rule in my eFa 5 because it is returning several false positives, but the modification to the /etc/mail/spamassassin/local.cf file is being ignored.

Following the instructions I found in previous posts, I edited /etc/mail/spamassassin/local.cf adding at the end of the file:

Code: Select all

score THREAD_INDEX_BAD 0

and then I used the following commands:

Code: Select all

spamassassin --lint
sa-update
sa-compile

And I did not restart SpamAssassin as shawniverson suggested.

Do I have to restart something else to get my score modification applied?

[shawniverson]

There is a spamassassin results cache database in MailScanner. You can

Code: Select all

sudo rm /var/spool/MailScanner/incoming/SpamAssassin.cache.db

and

Code: Select all

sudo systemctl restart mailscanner

to reset it.
