SpamAssassin blocking all mail

[CWIMike]

Since today's updates, any accounts with SpamAssassin enabled are not having any mail delivered to them. The exim_mainlog says that mail is being delivered, but the mail itself cannot be found.

Disabling SpamAssassin allows mail to be sent, and the accounts without SpamAssassin have had no problems.

Any ideas?

I'm getting exactly the same:

- When I was on Build 12, with Spam Assassin enabled all mail was getting bounced back to the sender.

- With S. A. disabled, all works fine.

- I tried /scripts/convertemails5 and it had no effect.

- Just a few mins ago did /scripts/upcp to manually update CPanel, which has taken me to Build 18.

- Now, with S. A. enabled, all mail just disappears -- it does not even get bounced back.

This last is the same problem that existed a long time ago and eventually got fixed, and allowed us to use Spam Assassin.

Sure hope that you can fix this asap, we get tons and tons of spam!

Yes, we are seeing this also... All emails are gone.

If anyone else wants to disable Spam Assassin on all the users accounts, they can do a:
locate .spamassassinenable

Then remove all the files that show-up from the locate. They will be in the:
/home/$username/.spamassassinenable
Replace $username with the users username.

I beleive i have found the error

pico /etc/exim.conf

search for this line

command = &/usr/bin/spamassassin -l ${extract{5}{:}{${lookup{$local_part}lsearch{/etc/passwd}{$value}}}}/mail/inbox-w

that is the error, mail is being sent to inbox-w

change it to

command = &/usr/bin/spamassassin -l ${extract{5}{:}{${lookup{$local_part}lsearch{/etc/passwd}{$value}}}}/mail/inbox -w

and that should fix it.

I have reported this to nick

Hi Mike,

Good to see the Brits sorting things out

I tried that, and on a test account it did seem to stop the problem of mail not getting delivered, now Spam Assassin does not seem to be doing any filtering (ie, no Spam Assassin stuff is getting added to the mail headers).

Actually that won't fix the problem, it will just pass the mail though (that is what th e -l option does)

spamassassin 2.4x broke delivery to mboxs. Actually they just removed it completly (the missing space is a result of trying to get a quick fix .. which doesn't fix it anyways).


I'm actually having to patch up the spamassassin script. FYI, this has nothing to do with cPanel 5 mail, spamassassin just decided to drop mbox deliver support (with no notice) yesterday.

Running /scripts/sysup exim should install a modified exim.conf what uses this new modified spamassassin (spamassasin-cpanel)

ran the sysup, restarted exim, still getting

Do you have your exim.conf +i ??

It should be delivering to /usr/bin/spamassassin-cpanel

[rich2]

not sure what you mean by +i (chmod +i /etc/exim.conf ?) guess i'm a newb.

but yes the conf looks right, i see the file, and its specified in the conf correctly.

*scratches head*

[bdraco]

please run

grep cpanel /etc/exim.conf

[rich2]

[root@oxygen ] ~ & grep cpanel /etc/exim.conf
command = &/usr/bin/spamassassin-cpanel -w $sender_address&
command = &/usr/bin/spamassassin-cpanel -w $sender_address&

[CWIMike]

A quick note: Apparently, the latest build of CPanel (5.0.0-24) fixed the problem, because SpamAssassin's working again for me. YAY!

Thanks, CPanel!

Mike

[rich2]

yes i think everything is working fine, did a few tests. we'll see if my customers get to me though

The /scripts/sysup fixed the problem here..
