6.0 and SpamAssassin Contrib
« on: August 04, 2003, 08:41:40 PM »
Hello,
         We had previously installed the SpamAssassin Contrib on our 5.2 Server. Then we upgraded to the commercial version 6, which comes with its own SpamFiltering (with the subscribed services).
The problem is that the server is not filtering the Spam, and seems obvious that the contrib is getting in the way. I ran the uninstall.sh script which successfully removed it, but the problem continues.

I discovered a .procmailrc file on each user directory that was using the Spam Filtering contrib. Do I need to delete it?

Any help is welcomed.

Thank you

First off you should be talking to your local Mitel Partner about this. You pay for that support.
But, to help you out what does the .qmail file for each user say.

if it has the following entry

| /usr/bin/procmail ~/.procmailrc

then mail will be piped to .procmailrc.
If mail is piped to .procmailrc then what does .procmailrc say and filters are in place.
If mail is not piped to .procmailrc then you can ignore it and your problem is somewhere else.
