Re: [vps-mail] [vps2] Upgraded from SA 2.43 to 2.63 (fwd)

[Bob Sherman <bob@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

It seems that SA is working if the spam is being tagged. Maybe you need to 
send it somewhere other than to the user, for example:
:0:
* ^X-Spam-Status: Yes
/var/mail/spam

Yes, I am using procmail, which starts clamav, runs RC filters, starts SA 
and sends spam to /var/mail/spam. This starts SA:
:0fw
|/usr/local/bin/spamc -U /var/run/spamd.sock -s 100000
And this sends to /spam
:0:
* ^X-Spam-Status: Yes
/var/mail/spam

Whenever I update the local.cf file, spamd needs to be restarted with:
kill the spamd pid
virtual spamd -d -c --pidfile=/var/run/spamd.pid 
--socketpath=/var/run/spamd.sock

To be clear, the above reflects a VPS 2 with an upgrade of SA 2.43 to 2.63 
using the vinstall.

Another VPS 2 that I installed SA from ports, starts with:
|/usr/local/bin/spamassassin
And it does not have spamd running

Can't explain the difference between the vinstall and the ports install, 
but there is a real difference.  And both seem to run fine.... with 
different configurations.
