Message-ID: <20040107013431.58070.qmail@web21110.mail.yahoo.com> Hello I just installed sa-exim and I am trying to get it to work with spamassassian using mysql. I am running exim4 with cyrus imap and have virtual users so I want to store their whitelist in mysql. Everything works accpet it seems when I use sa-exim all mail going to spamassassin looks like it is coming from the debian-exim user instead of the user who is in the from field. Is this how it was designed? Is there anyway I can change this so that all mail passed to spamc will look like it is coming from the from address?

Message-ID: <1DBA7B491604E94BBCCE5133069A5BB20DE32E@mail.keyschool.org> (Sorry for the top post... Outlook and all that...) SA-Exim invokes SA at SMTP time. It is not designed to be used with individual user settings, since a single SMTP message can be addressed to multiple recipients. This design is similar to Exim in general, as local_part isn't available during SMTP time either. There was a thread a while back about hacking SA-Exim to respect individual user's settings, but I can't recall how well it worked. Check the archives.

Maybe Suresh (also Indian, but probably writes much better English than me with my Cambridge U. O and A level English) could begin a conversion course in 1373 -> RTFM for compatriot would-be 1373z. OT: When's Marc going to write an acceptable alternative in C to amavisd-new(Perl)smtpd:25 -> amavisd-new(proxy content filter running spamd):10024 -> smtpd:10025? It would be better than both SA-Exim and Exiscan, and nobody else in the world seems to be capable. It supports teergrubing and smtp 55x. Ref: http://www.ijs.si/software/amavisd Supports both spamd and almost any virus scanner available. It would be suitable for more platforms than Exim (like Postfix, for example) and because it supports SQL and with Scott M. Dier's patch, also LDAP, users get to have their own preferences. It would make Marc famous and loved by all.

Message-ID: Pretty straightforward question: ./exim -bV a few months ago, the sa-exim patch appened this: "Contains exiscan-acl patch revision 14 (c) Tom Kistner [http://duncanthrax.net/exiscan/]" Does Sa-Exim do the same thing?

If not, can i wishlist this: "Contains sa-exim patch ##VERSION## (c) Marc Merlin [http://sa-exim.sf.net] SA-Exim Configuration file is ##CONF_FILE##" And to respond to why I'm cross posting... My naive understanding of the local_scan functionality in exim would suggest that under the current implementation, this might not be possible -- and that the Exim distribution itself would necessitate the ability to look for some comment containing string/var in the local_scan function.

If it exists, spamassassin runs against the email, but if the domain isn't in the list, spamassassin doesn't scan it. I have several domains I am a backup-mx for, and they do not want me to scan their messages. Does anybody have any suggestions to do this with that is fast and easy?

Yep. If you want to know which sa-exim you have, for now you can look in the header of scanned messages, it adds: X-SA-Exim-Version: 3.1+cvs (built Fri, 16 Jan 2004 17:54:51 +1030) Marc -- "A mouse is a device used to point at the xterm you want to type in" - A.S.R.

I was just hoping for a build info on the binary itself -- i archive installations in case I need to rollback. I also often build new releases on a weekday when I have free time, so the upgrade on saturday morning will only take 5 minutes of my day off -- but sometimes i upgrade something and its out of date already. thats annoying. So I wishlist for exim that it there a patchinfo string or something to that effect, located in the local-scan hook, be incorporated into the binary version string.

I would prefer to have a text file with the valid domains I host email for. My problem now is that I am a backup MX for several domains, and every single email coming through me is scanned (and some messages dropped becuase they are spam. Some of the domains I backup for have their own white-lists, black-lists, and special requirements that are being affected by my spamassassin settings here. I am actually deleting emails that might be on their white list. (this is very bad). How can I do this. I read the archives, and noted some trying and failling when using the $domain variable. I do NOT write much regex code. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

The "dumb" questions I get are from people who don't know everything I know - which is why I wrote the thing in the first place. It's not there to change the world, just to make life a little easier for those who want things to "just work". That's my contribution. And when people have problems with it, I try to help them. So far as I can tell, this response isn't even from the author, just some user of the software. That's some nerve. I'm looking at integrating SpamAssassin into my Exim config; if this is the level of support, I will have to think again. I assumed that, being a Free Software project, sensible questions would get sensible answers. I have to answer to my management. I'm not just playing a game with my ADSL line, I actually want to get something done. I am postmaster for about a dozen domains, and want get to get stuff done. I honestly thought that sa-exim would be a way to get it done. Obviously I was wrong. I can use GNU tools, Exim, openssl, openssh, Apache, mod_ssl, php, etc, and still answer to management. If I'm going to get this kind of response to a civil question, I can't use this tool with credibility. Not all F/OSS projects are created equal. I am a rabid advocate of F/OSS; this particular project, it seems, is one of those "anyone can publish F/OSS" counter-examples. I have been having difficulty building this tool; if I am only going to get abuse having installed it, I do not intend to continue down this line. I find this extremely disappointing; I expected, that using a F/OSS tool with a mailing list, I would have some support, not "it seems this software is not for you". Please, somebody (preferably Marc) assure me that this isn't the level of support I'll get for using this tool.

I'm just a user, but perhaps that will make my response more convincing. It seems to me reasonable questions get reasonable answers; the one you cited was not a reasonable question. As I recall the original, only some of which was cited, it was on the order of "I don't have time to read anything, just tell me how it works." I once posted a question that got a slightly testy response from a list member, but not from the developers (and I don't think the response you cited was from a developer). On the other hand, if you think someone is obligated to support you, you are mistaken. You probably knew that, but your tone suggests otherwise.

(Though I seem to recall a disclaimer that the patch had only been tested on Linux.) To be clear, I'm talking about the patch to dynamically-load a local_scan module, here. On Solaris I have statically-linked the sa-exim local_scan module, and found that it worked fine. My erorr on the Linux install of the dynamic-link patch was that I tried to shortcut the process by copying my existing Solaris Local/Makefile, and then editing it -- not realizing that the patch was modifying the source for the makefile, adding options to handle the dynamic linking. So the error was entirely mine. As for testing and Solaris...look, it's freely available, open source software. Already having it tested and officially blessed for all systems would be wonderful, but should hardly be a bar to release. I haven't seen comments that it doesn't work on Solaris, and you should certainly feel free to try it, and test it, to see whether it works, or requires adjustment. The investment necessary to apply the patch and test whether it is working is pretty small.

They're good, too. Then you won't have to make the intellectual effort of learning Exim. (Just like me ;) Only never, never post anything like the above on those lists.

For you or others, it may or may not work. You get what you paid for as they say. > works on Solaris (presumably the biggest MTA out there) Putting aside the fact that Solaris is not an MTA, I actually firmly believe that more people use exim on linux, freebsd, and other freenixes than solaris As for the dynamically loadable local_scan module patch, it was provided as working for linux. I've heard it works for some other people on some other architectures (some have even given me patches), but I only use linux, so that's the only thing that it's known to work with (and by this I mean linux on little endian 32 bit platforms. It might not work on 64 bit or big endian) > I really want to believe, The truth is out there :) Marc -- "A mouse is a device used to point at the xterm you want to type in" - A.S.R.

Right.You build stuff from source anyway, so the patch to make it dynamically loadable is not that important for you. It's more for rpm and deb users who don't compile their programs (and that also means mainly linux users) > As for testing and Solaris...look, it's freely available, open source > software. Already having it tested and officially blessed for all > systems would be wonderful, but should hardly be a bar to release. I As far as sa-exim is concerned, it is indeed not going to happen. This is mostly a hobby of mine for my own mail server and while I'm willing to write some docs for others, accept patches, and answer most questions, I'm not about to setup a multiplatform test suite or even do full regression on sa-exim before a release. I just want to use the rest of my free time for other things like racing, snowboarding, and other activities :) Marc -- "A mouse is a device used to point at the xterm you want to type in" - A.S.R.

You get the support you pay for :) Depends on my mood, how much sleep I had, and how helpful I feel on any given day :) Overall I'm not that bad, and I even tried with the person you quoted, but he clearly didn't meet the "you must be this tall to go on this ride" criteria. Others might be more helpful or have more time to help than me on any given day, and I am thankful each time they do. > P.s. - Sorry again Marc - he raised his head above the parapet and I > just happened ..

Mmmh, off hand I would write an rpct to ACL that adds a header (or sets an exim acl var that sa-exim can read in its run condition test) if the envelope to points to one of your domains. If the header/acl var isn't there, then use that not to run sa-exim Marc -- "A mouse is a device used to point at the xterm you want to type in" - A.S.R.
