Title: SME7 (pre1) - email subject for spam emails
Post by: mdo on January 21, 2006, 01:09:35 AM

Testing SME7pre1 we have enabled "Modify subject of spam messages" in server manager. The resulting prefix for the subject of those mails is "***SPAM***".

I cannot find where this prefix is actually defined. Judging on the config files for spamassassin (/etc/mail/spamassassin/local.cf I believe it is?), the prefix should be "[SPAM]" instead.

I only want to make sure that the upgrade SME6 to 7 on that server (and it's implications for spamassassin) was done properly. I don't believe there to be a bug otherwise I would have put this into the bug tracker.

Maybe I am looking in the wrong spamassassin config file?

Regards,
Michael

Will you not remove SA  (all contribs in fact) from your 6 box before upgrading to 7?  Then, it should not really matter, or have I missed something?

Spamassassin was not part of 6.0 and we do our best to upgrade from the contribs package. Check the settings in the db:

config show spamassassin

These settings should be reflected in the SA config file, but may not if there are custom templates, etc.

Title: What's the subject's prefix for spam emails in SME7pre1?

Thanks for the replies. My question was probably misleading so I re-word this:

"What's the subject's prefix for spam emails in SME7pre1 supposed to be?"
I am just curious what other SME7 users see at their installations.

According to that server's definitions, I expected the prefix to be [Spam]:

config show spamassassin
spamassassin=service
    DNSAvailable=yes
    InitscriptOrder=85
    RejectLevel=0
    ReportSafe=0
    Sensitivity=medium
    SkipRBLChecks=0
    SortSpam=enabled
    Subject=[SPAM]
    SubjectTag=enabled
    TagLevel=5
    UseBayes=0
    status=enabled

Contents of /etc/mail/spamassassin/local.cf:
..snip..
dns_available yes
internal_networks 192.168.0.2
lock_method flock
report_safe 0
required_hits 5
rewrite_header Subject [SPAM]
skip_rbl_checks 0
clear_trusted_networks
trusted_networks 127.
use_bayes 0
..snip..

but actually the spam detetcted mails have '***SPAM***' as their prefix.

I was just curiuos where the prefix "***SPAM*** is actually built?

Michael, try /usr/share/qpsmtpd/plugins/spamassassin at Line 243

Hope it helps

Many thanks for finding this Sebastian. I will summarise this and open a bug report in the bug tracker.
