pyzor vs SA
Greetings;
I found a pyzor package and installed it with yumi on this old FC2 box,
currently running SA-3.10 from kde-3.3.0.
After installing it, I've done no local configuration as it seems not
to have come with a manpage.
It appears that SA (spamc-spamd) have found the pyzor, but are now
logging this:
Dec 27 22:22:31 coyote spamd[474]: spamd: processing message
<43...@netspace.net.au> for gene:500
Dec 27 22:22:31 coyote spamd[474]: internal error
Dec 27 22:22:31 coyote spamd[474]: pyzor: check failed: internal error
And some non-spam mailing list messages are now being sorted into the
JunqueMail folder, marked as read.
So whats the usual procedure here?

stupid bounce rules. I do use spamassassin too. :-)

Well, thats actually pretty easy, and the docs are around I think.
I use 2 filters in the kmail setup, one of which causes the message to
be piped thru spamc, like this:
Filter 'Spamassassin check'
Filter Criteria: match all of the following
<size> is greater than 20 bytes
<size> is less than 100k bytes
Filter Actions:
Pipe Through, with its text box=, spamc -u gene
Filter 'Spam Handling'
Filter Criteria: Match any of the following
X-Spam-Flag contains YES
<any header> contains X-SPam_Level: *****
Subject contains SPAM
Filter Actions File into Folder JunqueMail
Filter Actions Mark As Read
X in if filter matches, stop
I have this list being picked off before that check, but much of my
other filtering actions are below these two in the filter listing.

Yes, but since it looks like you're running spamassassin as user "gene"
you'll want to run "pyzor discover" as that user. It will make a .pyzor
folder in the home directory of the user.
I'm afraid I don't have any experience with calling spamassassin (or
spamc) from kmail or any other user agent. Hopefully someone else will
be able to shed some light on this. Good luck.

Good day, eh.

And that returned this:
[root@coyote root]# pyzor discover
downloading servers from
http://pyzor.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/inform-servers-0-3-x
Which I assume is the desired result?

However, I'm not using the SA sample invocation shown at the 3rd site
above, as I'm running spamassassin by calling it spamd in
the /etc/init.d directory, but its actually the renamed spamassassin
start script.
And kmail is interfaceing to spamc with a 'spamc -u gene' in the
filters rule listings.
The overriding $SPAMOPTIONS for spamassassin aka spamd is obtained from
/etc/sysconfig/spamassassin, and presently looks like this:
# Options to spamd
SPAMDOPTIONS="-d -c -m6 -H=/home/gene/.spamassassin
--max-conn-per-child=50 -u gene --virtual-config-dir=/tmp"
So where do I put the -x -C & -r options?
