Got the same results and my Google-fu is failing me. I tried removing all (they were installed in Part 1 of this guide), including config files and backups, then installing from scratch and following these instructions precisely. Spamassassin went fine but I’m having trouble with clamav. Master.cf spamassassin unix - n n - pipe flags=R user=spamd argv=/usr/bin/spamc -e /usr/sbin/sendmail -oi -f $ Reply Next, add the following line at the bottom of /etc/postfix/master.cf: In order to efficiently integrate Postfix and spamassassin, we will need to create a dedicated user and group to run the spam filter daemon: # useradd spamd -s /bin/false -d /var/log/spamassassin
Spamassassin update#
Once you’ve saved those changes, enable and start the spam filter service, and then update the spam rules: # systemctl enable spamassassinįor more configuration options, you may want to refer to the documentation by running perldoc Mail::SpamAssassin::Conf in the command line. Setting required_score to a value somewhere between 8.0 and 10.0 is recommended for a large system serving many (~100s) email accounts. The lesser the number, the more sensitive the filter becomes. To set the aggressivity of the spam filter, required_score must be followed by an integer or decimal number.If it is set to 1, the message will be deleted. When report_safe is set to 0 (recommended value), incoming spam is only modified by modifying the email headers as per rewrite_header.If it finds, according to its definition rules and configuration, that an incoming message is spam, it will rewrite the subject line to clearly identify it as such. In the process of receiving email, spamassassin will stand between the outside world and the email services running on your server itself. Please keep in mind that even when *nix-like operating systems are usually considered to be virus-free, chances are clients using other operating systems will also connect to your email server.įor that reason, you need to provide them with the confidence that you have taken the necessary measures to protect them to the extent possible from such threats. Integrate ClamAV and SpamAssassin to Protect Postfix Since no email server setup can be complete without taking precautions against viruses and spam, we are going to cover that topic in the current article.
