spamassassin && fetchmail && qmail (RELAYCLIENT="")

[Mirko Steiner <m....@gesotec.de>]

Hi,

so first the general infos, which i should be sure to note:

Well... i run a qmail mailserver with qmailqueue-patch, vpopmail and
qmail-scanner which scans for viruses and even yet for spam with
spamassassin invoking through spamd. The thing is, for each mailaddress
i fetch the emails from a remote mailserver (excatly two ones, one for
.de and one for the .com accounts) via fetchmail and fetchmail delivers
the mails localy... howewer i think there is no need for more details
here -- the system - as it - works well (email deliverey works! *jippi*).

The version of spamassassin is ``spamassassin: 3.0.3´´ and i run a
FreeBSD 4.10-STABLE box.

Now the problem:
When fetchmail delivers the emails localy (127.0.0.1) to qmail (via
tcpserver) it sets a variable RELAYCLIENT so that qmail acts for
127.0.0.1 as an open relay. So... spamassassin doesn't run because this
variable is set and I want 127.0.0.1 for open relay but here are a log-line:

Fri, 20 May 2005 09:10:37 CEST:53653: spamassassin: don't scan as
RELAYCLIENT implies this was sent by a local user

I've read the manpages but i haven't find anything that disables the
check... so... HELP! :)

Mirko,

yepp. Your question might find better answers in the qmail-scanner
mailing list. 

In the FAQ [1] I find (Q18): 
"If you explicitly want to scan some/all local SMTP clients email too,
then set QS_SPAMASSASSIN="on" within the tcpserver rules file."

[1] http://qmail-scanner.sourceforge.net/FAQ.php

So you might either set QS_SPAMASSASSIN="on" for all mail from 127.0.0.1
to enable SA for every local mail (this will work but might not be what
you want) or you find a way to set this within your fetchmail-to-qmail
invocation.

HTH, alex
