Hi all,
I'm using SME 6.5 with the Spamassassin contrib installed. As long I had a direct connection to my server and running SMTP in normal mode Spamassassin did scan all incoming e-mails. I had to change the e-mail setup (for security reason the server now is integrated in a internal network and connections to port 25 from the outside are not possible) and now use Multidrop. The server will poll 1 outside pop account and then distribute the e-mails to the local users which is working fine. However, the e-mails are no longer scanned by Spamassassin which increased the level of received Spam e-mail. I'm now banging my head for days against the wall and can't figure out why Spamassassin does not scan the incoming e-mails. I'm not sure if I have to modify the fetchmail script? I would be thankful for any hint, tip or idea.

Ok, I'm one step closer in solving this issue. I found out that in the user .procmailrc file the following entree is missing and mail does not get routed to spamassassin.
# ----------------------------------------------------------------------
# Route email to SpamAssassin Router
# The condition line ensures that only messages smaller than 250 kB
# (250 * 1024 = 256000 bytes) are processed by SpamAssassin. Most spam
# isn't bigger than a few k and working with big messages can bring
# SpamAssassin to its knees.

The question now is how do i make this entree in the users procmailrc file permanent?

You need to create a template for this. Place it in /etc/e-smith/templates-user/.procmailrc - here you should be able to see others to learn from.

You mean a template like 10Header? What number should I give that template? Something between 11 and 14 maybe, since that entree should be on the top in procmailrc? But there are always 2 templates with the same number: 10_spamfilter_header and then 10header. I did create one and named it 12enable but it didn't do anything.
-
If you have the user-manager contrib installed then you can enter as a registered user and re-active procmail under mail rules. This way the template system will be re-run using your template.

Still doesn't work. Do you happen to have an example of how the spamassassin templates should look like in the original? What exactly should be there in user-templates/procmailrc?
