Topic: SpamAssassin message from Cron

[bowhuntr]

I received this message via email last night. I had just run the script to install SA for Dummies. Is this error something that I should be concerned with?


/etc/cron.daily/USA:

gawk: cmd. line:2: fatal: cannot open file /tmp/SA/index.html' for reading (No such file or directory)
gawk: cmd. line:2: fatal: cannot open file /tmp/SA/index.html' for reading (No such file or directory)

Hi,

I also received this message but didn't run "script to install SA for Dummies".

I am running SME 6.0 final with some addons such as spam assassin, clamv antivirus, osCommerce, Gallery, Moregroupware.

Where could I find out more about this email
/etc/cron.daily/USA:

gawk: cmd. line:2: fatal: cannot open file /tmp/SA/index.html' for reading (No such file or directory)
gawk: cmd. line:2: fatal: cannot open file /tmp/SA/index.html' for reading (No such file or directory)

I have run into the same problem. Did anyone find a solution?

That(nightly) script was looking for possible updates for spamassassin on contribs.org site ... but contribs.org was down!
These messages will disappear from now on - at least as long as contribs.org will exist or will offer that download for free. Who knows.

Regards,

Hello.

In previous threads I have summarized what I and others have concluded....I punted on the use of Spam Assassin.

Spam Assassin is just too oblique, too poorly documented and imparts a rather heavy load on the CPU.

I switched to using the mailfront contrib and the very conservative RBLS option posted by Ray Mitchell (do a search).  Using this and local Bayes filtering on my Mozilla Thunderbird email clients has virtually elimated SPAM on my domain.

And no more bizarre, impossible to repair error messages. Plus the server is much faster. We average a few thousand SPAM per day so I am not trivializing the issue - I have walked the walk and tried most of the "solutions" including SA, TMDA and ASSP.

Good luck.

regards,

patrick
