Re: SpamAssassin

The Post.Office bundled SpamAssassin would only run on Mac OS X 10.2+. It's time to upgrade the OS, if you haven't done so. :)

Ouch... Houston we have a problem...

This is beyond my expertise... calling all perl geeks on the list! :^)

I did a quick Google on this and I am guessing you have an old version of perl on your system. What OS version are you running?

I tried: sudo /usr/bin/spamd -u mta -d -r /var/run/spamd.pid and this
is what I got:

This means that spamassassin is not running.  The 'ps -aux' command
lists all active processes.  The '|' pipes the output of the ps
command into grep which essentially stands for regular expressions and
looks for the word 'spam'.

Here is my output:

[freya:~] tappind% ps -aux | grep spam
mta       504   0.0  0.3    33152    656  ??  Ss   Sat08AM   0:10.17
/usr/bin/spamd -u mta -d -r /var/run/spamd.pid
tappind  7267   0.0  0.1     1372    256 std  R+   12:57PM   0:00.00
grep spam

The second list and the one you got was the process listing of the
command you just listed.

Try this:

cat /Library/StartupItems/PostOffice/PostOffice

Below is my PO start-up file:

[freya:~] tappind% cat /Library/StartupItems/PostOffice/PostOffice
#!/bin/sh

. /etc/rc.common

##
# Start mail server
##

POSTOFFICE=-YES-
if [ "${MAILSERVER:=-NO-}" = "-YES-" ]; then
     ConsoleMessage "Disable existing mail server and reboot to run
Post.Office"
else
     if [ "${POSTOFFICE:=-NO-}" = "-YES-" ]; then
         if [ -f /Library/Tenon/System/Configuration/StartUp ]; then
             MAILSERVER=`grep MAILSERVER
/Library/Tenon/System/Configuration/StartUp | cut -b 12-`;
             if [ "$MAILSERVER" = "-YES-" ]; then
                 ConsoleMessage "Starting Post.Office mail services"
                 if [ -f /usr/bin/spamd ]; then
                     /usr/bin/spamd -u mta -d
                 fi
                 /usr/local/post.office/post.office
             fi
         else
             ConsoleMessage "Starting Post.Office mail services"
             if [ -f /usr/bin/spamd ]; then
#                /usr/bin/spamd&
                 /usr/bin/spamd -u mta -d -r /var/run/spamd.pid
             fi
             /usr/local/post.office/post.office
         fi
     fi
fi

My PO start-up has been updated as follows:

/usr/bin/spamd -u mta -d -r /var/run/spamd.pid

This forces SA to run as the mta (mail) user not root for security
reasons.

Try:

sudo /usr/bin/spamd -u mta -d -r /var/run/spamd.pid   (followed by
your admin password)

and see what happens?

Have you tried re-installing PO and making sure that the SA plug-in is
selected during the install?
