Helo

Can someone please help me with with a small spamassassin problem?
My spamassassin picks up spam messages, but it still delivers the email.

Here is what I got in my config files ->
in /usr/home/nobody/.spamassassin:
require_version 2.60
version_tag = Spamassassin version 2.60
required_hits 3
#trusted_networks 127.0.0.1
rewrite_subject 1
subject_tag Spam!
add_header all
report_safe 1
ok_languages af en
dns_available no
use_razor2 1
razor_timeout 15
use_bayes 0
skip_rbl_checks 0

then in my exim config:
spamd_address = 127.0.0.1 783
# Always add X-Spam-Score and X-Spam-Report headers, using SA system-wide sett
ings
#(user "nobody"), no matter if over threshold or not.
warn message = X-Spam-Score: $spam_score ($spam_bar)
spam = nobody:true
##warn message = X-Spam-Report: $spam_report
spam = nobody:true

# Add X-Spam-Flag if spam is over system-wide threshold
warn message = X-Spam-Flag: YES
spam = nobody

# Reject spam messages with score over 10, using an extra condition.
deny message = This message scored $spam_score points. Congratulations!
spam = nobody:true
condition = ${if >{$spam_score_int}{50}{1}{0}}

<EOF>

I would appreciate it if someone can point me in the right direction
please?

Thanks

Now I have noticed something else:
I get this in my messages file:
May 18 13:57:04 gemini spamd[26835]: connection from localhost.localdomain [127.0.0.1] at port 2144
May 18 13:57:04 gemini spamd[26845]: info: setuid to nobody succeeded
May 18 13:57:04 gemini spamd[26845]: checking message <E1BQ3Fn-...@vangani.co.za> for nobody:65534.
May 18 13:57:06 gemini spamd[26845]: identified spam (4.8/3.0) for nobody:65534 in 2.9 seconds, 731 bytes.

But it doesn't seem to add the spam points to the email headers:
Date: Tue, 18 May 2004 13:59:27 +0200
X-Warning: 196.15.x.x is in a black list at
X-Spam-Score: ()
X-Spam-Flag: YES

weird, does anyone know why this is happening?

Have you tried the SA mailing list (or possibly the exim one)? You're
more likely to find people that can help there.

What are they? Zombies.
Are they dead? No, they're undead.
So they're like you? No, zombies are slow, dim-witted,
evil undead beings.
So, they're like you?

What config file is that? There are lots of options I don't know and
don't have in my ~/.spamassassin/user_prefs
Maybe you should try to run spamassassin with the default user_prefs
file to be sure you did not configure it wrong.

Best regards,
Arvid
