spamd/spamc postfix trouble
Hi,
I've configured my Postfix install to use the spamd/spamc configuration
as per:
http://hurring.com/howto/postfix/postfix_spamd/
However, I am running to trouble receiving emails with attachments when
they are sent to an alias account with several forwarding address.
Here's the error message I'm getting on these emails:
Nov 9 09:16:35 plain postfix/pipe[30229]: BF2F62E8219:
to=<je...@tackledesign.com>, orig_to=<in...@tackledesign.com>,
relay=spamassassin, delay=1, status=bounced (command line usage error.
Command output: Usage: spamc [options] < message -B: BSMTP mode -
expect input to be a single SMTP-formatted message -c: check only -
print score/threshold and exit code set to 0 if message is not spam, 1
if spam -r: report if spam - print report for spam messages -R: report -
print report for all messages -y: symbols - print only the names of the
tests hit -d host: specify host to connect to [default: localhost] -e

OPTION. -f: fallback safely - in case of comms error, dump original

specify max message size, any bigger and it will be returned w/out

I've looked around on the web but have not seen any mention of this
particular problem.
Any thoughts?
Kevin

Unless you have a reason you haven't specified, you may want to run
spamassassin via procmail instead of via postfix. With this method, it
will skip large attachments and still deliver the mail.
0. Enable procmail delivery in postfix
jp@lbs:/etc/postfix> grep procmail main.cf
mailbox_command = /usr/bin/procmail -a "$EXTENSION"
1. Setup a /etc/procmailrc file
jp@lbs:/etc/postfix> cat /etc/procmailrc
VERBOSE=on
ORGMAIL=Mailbox
MAILDIR=$HOME
#LOGFILE=procmail-log
DROPPRIVS=yes
:0fw
* < 128000
| spamc
:f:lock-file
*
| /usr/bin/formail -a "Status: O"
INCLUDERC=.procmailrc
:0:lockfile
* ^TO*
Mailbox
2. Restart Postfix.
3. Enjoy a (coffee|soda|beer|tea).
