SpamAssassin

Information

Blugh, very mucky install - installed some xorg stuff for whatever reason…

Channel rules are stored here: 

/usr/local/share/spamassassin

and the channel config files are stored here: 

/var/db/spamassassin/3.002003/

Procedure

  1. Install SpamAssassin:
    # cd /usr/ports/mail/p5-Mail-SpamAssassin
# make install clean


    I had to run make install a second time because it errored out the first time through - it completed the second time

  2. Once installed, setup saupdates and any extra rules channels (http://saupdates.openprotect.com/).
  3. Now create an auto-update script:
    #!/usr/local/bin/bash
#

SAUP=/usr/local/bin/sa-update

$SAUP --gpgkey D1C035168C1EBC08464946DA258CDB3ABDE9DC10 --channel saupdates.openprotect.com --channel updates.spamassassin.org -D
  4. And run the above script - make sure it completes without errors.
  5. Add the above script to /etc/crontab:
    # SpamAssassin Rule Updater
45      6       *       *       *       root    /root/scripts/spam-update/sa-auto-update.sh
  6. Now SpamAssassin's rules are fully updated, so we enable SpamAssassin in /etc/rc.conf:
    # SpamAssassin
spamd_enable="YES"
  7. Procmail Setup: add the following to /usr/local/etc/procmailrc:
    :0fw: spamc.lock
* < 256000
| spamc
 
# filter 5-star spam and greater
:0:
* ^X-Spam-Level: \*\*\*\*\*
spam
 
# Work around procmail bug: any output on stderr will cause the "F" in "From"
# to be dropped.  This will re-add it.
:0
* ^^rom[ ]
{
  LOG="*** Dropped F off From_ header! Fixing up. "
 
  :0 fhw
  | sed -e '1s/^/F/'
}
  8. Finally, start the SpamAssassin spamd daemon:
    # /usr/local/etc/rc.d/sa-spamd start
