In order to activate spamass-milter, follow these steps:
|
|
|
|
1. Review and customize your system-wide SpamAssassin preference, by
|
|
editing /usr/local/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:
|
|
|
|
%%PREFIX%%/etc/rc.d/sa-spamd start
|
|
|
|
3. Activate spamass-milter:
|
|
|
|
%%PREFIX%%/etc/rc.d/spamass-milter 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 (hostname.mc):
|
|
|
|
cd /etc/mail
|
|
make
|
|
|
|
6. Add the spamass-milter hook to your hostname.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')
|
|
define(`confMILTER_MACROS_CONNECT',`b, j, _, {daemon_name}, {if_name}, {if_addr}')dnl
|
|
|
|
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
|
|
|
|
8. Restart Sendmail:
|
|
|
|
cd /etc/mail
|
|
make stop
|
|
make start
|
|
|
|
9. Test the whole piece:
|
|
|
|
echo "Testing spamass-milter..." | mail -s"Spam test" root
|
|
|
|
This might take a long time to finish (up to about 10-20 seconds),
|
|
since spamd has just started, so please be patient.
|
|
|
|
You (root) should receive a message from root@hostname, bearing this
|
|
header line:
|
|
|
|
X-Spam-Status: No, ...
|
|
|
|
If things don't work as expected, promptly restore the stock FreeBSD
|
|
sendmail.cf (/etc/mail/freebsd.cf) as your default sendmail config,
|
|
or restore your own backup (if you keep one), as shown in 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 in their mail client.
