RE: [vps-mail] Dramatic increase of SPAM during last days

["Brian Haines" <providertalk@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Here is my .mc file. Spam Assassin is still not working after I added the
DNSBLs.

Any ideas?

It did not. I reinstalled spamassassin and I think it removed my dsnbl
stuff, so I added: FEATURE(`local_procmail')dnl to my mc file and rebuilt
the the cf. Lets see how it goes.

Thanks!

Assuming that you are calling SpamAssassin from a procmail rc file, it might
be worth double checking to make sure that procmail is still your local
delivery agent.  Take a look at the sendmail macro configuration
(mc) file that you built your sendmail.cf from. Make sure that it has
*one* of the following lines towards the bottom (before the MAILER lines):

FEATURE(`local_procmail')dnl
    [OR]
FEATURE(`local_procmail_lmtp')dnl
