I'm trying to use the Handler that integrates Mailman with SpamAssassin as described at http://www.jamesh.id.au/articles/mailman-spamassassin/ and referenced in the Mailman FAQ. Although I'm a relative newbie, I am using a similar handler that integrates ClamAV with Mailman successfully. However, I can't get the SA handler to work - Known spam gets delivered to the list as if SA was not involved at all. Spamd is running and SA otherwise working fine with other non-list email I have the python scripts SpamAssassin.py and spamd.py in the Mailman/Handlers directory with ownership list:list (works with clamav script) and have tried root:list.
My Mailman mm_cfg.py pertinent part looks like this:
GLOBAL_PIPELINE.insert(1, 'SpamAssassin') #SPAMASSASSIN_HOST = 'my.domain.com' <----tried with and without specifying the hostname # # Scan messages for viruses using Clam AntiVirus GLOBAL_PIPELINE.insert(1, 'ClamScan') CLAMAV_DISCARD = 0 CLAMAV_CLAMDSCANPATH = '/usr/bin/clamdscan'
MTA is Postfix. Linux is Debian Sarge (Testing). I've googled myself silly about this and don't find much - It's supposed to be easy! Thanks any elp. - John

Is there anything in the logs? I am running a similar setup and it is working fine.

About the same for me.
I additionally have:
SPAMASSASSIN_DISCARD_SCORE = 8 SPAMASSASSIN_HOLD_SCORE = 5 SPAMASSASSIN_MEMBER_BONUS = 42

Exim on stable (but a recent mm from cvs).
logs/vette should show you discarded messages.
Cheers, Gerhard

I found some clues in vette. My main problem was that SPAMASSASSIN_HOST = 'localhost' was the only thing that worked for me - using my FQDN' or hostname did not work. Then my testing was obfuscated by using a spam that was above the hold score. Tnx bandwidth and tips received. Working great now. - John
