slugging through an awkward issue with spamassassin on my home server.
I am using fetchmail to get mail from my ISP - who in essence, has already accepted delivery.
I have an email in my box which fetchmail keeps retrieving and spamassassin is rejecting it - which is kind of an endless loop.
Specifically, I am running spamassassin & spamass-milter (milter via sendmail).
I currently have the following options to spamd set...
# cat /etc/sysconfig/spamassassin SPAMDOPTIONS="-d -c -a -m5 -H -L -x -u smmsp"
hoping that the '-L' option would serve the purpose...it hasn't
Any suggestions? Right now, it is only 1 email but these things have a way of snowballing.
SpamAssassin is not the one rejecting the emails, it must be spamass-milter. So setting options for spamd is not going to help you. I'd remove -L, and let it do non-local tests too (obviously, when running fetchmail you do have internet connection up and running). Check settings for spamass-milter. Since spam emails are already delivered to your ISP, and than transferred to your PC, you might as well simply filter them out (to separate folder, or /dev/null), instead of rejecting them.
