Topic: spamassassin stopped assassinating spam

[mbachmann]

MRTG showed, that SA stopped scanning inbound mail on Sunday 0:00 h. It does not add headers anymore. It is available in server-manager, i did a reboot, i did enable it, spamd service is running and

spamassassin --lint -D

gives successful results except

Razor2 is not available
debug: DCCifd is not available: no r/w dccifd socket found.
debug: DCC is not available: no executable dccproc found.
debug: Pyzor is not available: pyzor not found


Current maillog reads:

Feb 17 11:17:42 nautilus1 spamd[1963]: server started on port 783/tcp (running version 2.63)

I checked against an older maillog and there are addiditional lines:

Feb 9 08:49:40 nautilus1 spamd[2358]: server started on port 783/tcp (running version 2.63)
Feb 9 08:53:03 nautilus1 spamd[2358]: connection from localhost [127.0.0.1] at port 1053
Feb 9 08:53:03 nautilus1 spamd[3294]: info: setuid to qmaild succeeded

So i presume it cannot not establish a connection to localhost. I issued

spamd -i 127.0.0.1

and got

Could not create INET socket: Address already in use IO::Socket::INET: Address already in use.

What else can i do?

deinstalling/reinstalling fixed the problem. For some unknown reason it lost it's local.cf in templates-custom/etc/mail/spamassassin and some other fragment to talk with qmail.

Try my spamassassin contrib for SME 6, located here:

http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/distributions/smeserver/contribs/gzartman/Beta/spamassassin/

It's currently beta, but no bugs found as of yet, so should be good to go!
