Spamassassin not longer working after migration from qmail to postfix

Hi everyone,

I'm running spamassassin 3.2.3 on an Debian Etch server. Today I migrated
the mail service from qmail to postfix.

Everything is running, except that spamassassin not working anymore.

Every mail is directly sent to procmail through a .forward file. Procmail
runs spamassassin to check for spam mails. This worked well, until I moved
to postfix. In the logfile from procmail I can see the following error
message:

<<<<
procmail: [4196] Thu Dec  4 20:03:13 2008
procmail: Program failure (-25) of "spamassassin"
procmail: Rescue of unfiltered data succeeded
procmail: [4196] Thu Dec  4 20:03:13 2008
>>>>

Does anybody know, what's wrong here and could advise me, what do do?

Thanks in advance!

Kind Regards,
	Andreas

Uhm, yeah? Did you try running a mail through spamassassin directly?
That will tell you if SA is working or not.

Sounds like it is related to that migration. Which packages have been
removed / upgraded / whatever?

That's a procmail error code IIRC, the code is not returned by SA.

Did you try enabling verbose logging in procmail? What does that
generate?

How *exactly* are you calling spamassassin from procmail? That question
includes the procmail recipe used, as well as the location of all
procmail rc files involved. Do you drop privs?


Related note: It is *much* more efficient to run spamd, and call spamc
from procmail, rather than spawning a spamassassin process for each and
every message...
