RE: SpamAssassin

["Dan Tappin" <dan.tappin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

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?
