Hi all,
I am trying to setup a mail server using postfix (virtual_mailboxes), spamassassin and dovecot, along with SQL where appropriate. From my research so far I realized that, for several reasons, it is required for me to use dovecot LDA instead of maildrop, local, procmail or other alternatives.
My configuration was working flawlessly, until spamassassin per-user configuration came to play. If I just wanted an MTA anti-spam gateway, I could directly call spamassassin via master.cf, or through some helper "content-filter-application" (like amavis or amavisd-new), and everything would work just fine (I tried and tested many such configurations with success). But when antispam per user preferences became my concern (Bayesian filters and classifier), I realized that spamd should be called by the LDA. With procmail this was a trivial issue, with dovecot-lda I was unable to find any solution on the web or other documentation.
So my question is as follows: Is there a way to call spamc from dovecot-LDA (and/or dovecot-sieve), or is there an alternate way to do this for a site with virtual mailboxes configured with dovecot-lda?
Thank you all in advance,
regards,
Hi George. You seem to have a similar setup as I have here. I found www.postfixvirtual.net most useful! Do have a look there.
I just had a 12 hour fight to get all running again after a upgrade from Mandriva 2008.0 to 2008.1. That should have been trivial but I had all sort of issues with amavisd missing perl modules. Well, finally solved that one again.
