qmail and SA problems

[Nick Smith <ni...@gmail.com>]

im currently trying to implement spamassassin into our mail server and
am running into problems im hoping you can help me with. our current
setup is running
gentoo/qmail/vpopmail/qmail-scanner/courier-imap/clamav/tmda.  i have
reinstalled qmail-scanner so that it can pickup that SA is installed,
and i do have setuid for clamav installed.
the problem is that none of the message seem to be being scanned by
SA.  its not re-writing the header with a score or anything, its like
im not running anything at all.  i have a testing server setup that i
am doing all of this on, i have even sent the known spam test email
"gtube" i think its called, and it isnt caught either.  the spamd
processes are running, everything looks fine.  i have tried rebooting
and restarting the services.  i think i must have a configuration
setting wrong or something.  i have included the relevant parts of the
config files, if there is anything else you need to help me please let
me know.  this has been an on-going battle for a while and i would
like to find a resolution to this finally.

thanks for any and all help.

You MAY be able to just add it to the list but your best bet is to 
re-run the configure statement for qmail-scanner and make sure it 
detects SA this time.  If it doesnt fill in the scanner itself, SA isnt 
working properly, or maybe its just not running at all.  Make sure spamd 
is running, run the configure for qmail-scanner again and see what 
happens this time.

I know, I do the same thing constantly..its kind of annoying to have to 
do reply-all every time.

can i add "spamassassin" to the list of scanners? SA was installed
before installing qmail-scanner, but im not totally positive if it was
running or not. do i need to reinstall qmail-scanner or can i just add
"spamassassin" to the list of scanners?

thanks for your help

PS - sorry i didnt mean to reply directly to you, they dont have reply
to list turn on in their list setup.

This is the problem right here.  There is no mention of spamassassin in 
the installed scanners.  This means that when you ran ./configure for 
qmail-scanner it did not detect that spamassassin was installed.  Did 
you have spamd up and running at the time?  Is it installed correctly? 
Make sure that SA is working correctly and currently running when you 
install qmail-scanner.
