spamd and SQL
Hi list,
Recently I faced a problem with my network where my e-mail servers couldn't
contact my MySQL server. Because of that communication error, the incoming
messages passed through without being scanned by spamd.
Reading the sql/README I found the following information:
"While scanning a message if spamd is unable to connect to the server
specified in user_scores_dsn or an error occurs when querying the SQL
server then spam checking will not be performed on that message."
That's a big problem because too many spams can enter my network while my
MySQL server is down.
Is there a way to change the spamd behavior to send a fatal error to spamc to
cause spamc and the mail server to queue the message while the sql server is
down?
SPECS: SA version: 3.0.4 with RH 4 ES
Thank you,
Fábio Gomes
