In order to activate spamass-milter, follow these steps:
|
|
|
|
1. Review and customize your system-wide SpamAssassin preference, by
|
|
editing /etc/mail/spamassassin/local.cf. Refer to the SpamAssassin
|
|
manpage Mail::SpamAssassin::Conf(3) for details on what to put in it.
|
|
|
|
2. If you didn't activate spamd (the SpamAssassin daemon), do so now:
|
|
|
|
cd /usr/local/etc/rc.d
|
|
cp -p spamd.sh-dist spamd.sh
|
|
chmod 755 spamd.sh
|
|
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/spamd.sh start
|
|
|
|
3. Activate spamass-milter:
|
|
|
|
cd /usr/local/etc/rc.d
|
|
cp -p spamass-milter.sh.dist spamass-milter.sh
|
|
chmod 755 spamass-milter.sh
|
|
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/spamass-milter.sh start
|
|
|
|
4. Backup your sendmail.cf (in /etc/mail).
|
|
|
|
5. If you didn't create your own customized version of Sendmail .mc
|
|
file, create one from the default template (replace YOURNAME with a
|
|
suitable name; a good candidate is the output of `hostname -s'):
|
|
|
|
cd /etc/mail
|
|
cp -p freebsd.mc YOURNAME.mc
|
|
echo "SENDMAIL_MC = /etc/mail/YOURNAME.mc" >> /etc/make.conf
|
|
|
|
The last line tells the system to use your customized version instead
|
|
of the default freebsd.mc when you run mergemaster(8) later on.
|
|
|
|
6. Add the spamass-milter hook to your Sendmail .mc file. The magic
|
|
line to add is:
|
|
|
|
INPUT_MAIL_FILTER(`spamassassin', `S=local:/var/run/spamass-milter.sock, F=, T=C:15m;S:4m;R:4m;E:10m')
|
|
|
|
Everything should go on a single line, no line break/continuation is
|
|
allowed!
|
|
|
|
The best place to add this is right after the dnsbl-related comments.
|
|
(Hint: Every comment in an .mc file starts with `dnl'.)
|
|
|
|
7. Rebuild the sendmail.cf from your .mc file:
|
|
|
|
cd /etc/mail
|
|
make
|
|
make install
|
|
|
|
Or you can run mergemaster(8) instead if you want, although it's an
|
|
overkill.
|
|
|
|
8. Restart Sendmail:
|
|
|
|
kill -HUP `head -1 /var/run/sendmail.pid`
|
|
|
|
9. Test the whole piece:
|
|
|
|
/usr/sbin/sendmail root < /usr/local/share/doc/p5-Mail-SpamAssassin/sample-nonspam.txt
|
|
/usr/sbin/sendmail root < /usr/local/share/doc/p5-Mail-SpamAssassin/sample-spam.txt
|
|
|
|
Each of these commands might take a long time to finish (up to about
|
|
10-20 seconds), so please be patient.
|
|
|
|
You should receive two messages, one from `Keith Dawson' and the
|
|
other from xl6Ety00V@fismat1.fcfm.buap.mx. The one from Keith Dawson
|
|
shouldn't be tagged as a spam, bearing this header line:
|
|
|
|
X-Spam-Status: No, ...
|
|
|
|
On the other hand, the one from xl6Ety00V@fismat1.fcfm.buap.mx should
|
|
be tagged as a spam, bearing these two header lines:
|
|
|
|
X-Spam-Status: Yes, ...
|
|
X-Spam-Flag: YES
|
|
|
|
If things don't work as expected, promptly restore your sendmail.cf
|
|
from the backup copy then restart sendmail as shown on step 8; you
|
|
may lose incoming mail otherwise!
|
|
|
|
|
|
Now all messages received by Sendmail are filtered through
|
|
SpamAssassin, and probable spam messages are tagged with the header
|
|
`X-Spam-Flag: YES'. Tell your users about this so they can set up
|
|
appropriate filters on their mail reader.
