behavior with amavisd-new-20030616-p10

[Jonathan Gonzalez <jo...@gmail.com>]

Hi,

i would like to know if there's some special feature that needs to be 
enabled/disabled in order to work 100% compliant with amavis.

I'm my actual installation (Exim 4.50 + amavisd-new-20030616-p10 + 
ClamAV 0.86 + SpamAssassin 3.0 on a Debian Sarge platform) the MTA 
passes the email to amavis that checks for antivirus correctly but about 
the spam checks and it's behavior i'm not sure that all works fine.

I can see in the amavis logs that the spam checks are being made but no 
headers are added to the body of the email before being delivered to the 
user Mailbox.

This X-Headers are for me quite important because further tasks are 
based on those headers.

In example, i can see that a email is classified above the spam limit 
(11 points) and the message is delivered anyway. Seems that the 
interaction between MTA and amavis is not good, or between SA and amavis 
is not good maybe.

Any ideas will be welcomed.
Thanks in advance,

jonathan

_AND_ when it's addressed to a domain amavisd-new considers local.
Most probably you'll have to tweak you local_domains setting in
amavisd-new.

:-) Funny!

I have been reading, quite quick :) and have found the error. Was a 
error of mine. I didn't populate a variable with my domains, because 
such variable indicates amavis to put or not put the X headers.

The variable is @local_domains_acl = qw( .example.com .example2.com );

Once populated X-headers started to be written.

Thanks for your help :)
BR,

As a follow-up to myself, I found it in the amavis FAQ:

http://www.ijs.si/software/amavisd/#faq-spam


Amavis ONLY adds the x-spam-* headers when the score is above the "tag level"

Note that "tag level" isn't when amavis considers a message to be spam, that's
"tag2 level" (brilliantly clear, no?)

Amavis does it's own message tagging, and does not keep SA's markups. It
consults spamassassin merely as a scanner.

I'm not an amavis expert, so I can't tell you how, but I can tell you that it's
amavis you need to reconfigure if you want these added, as only amavis will
generate them.
