Some weeks ago I asked a question on the antispam plugin; obviously nobody could help me. I just worked on it again but made no progress. Is actually anybody out there running the antispam plugin with dspam?? I am willing to write a Wiki page for configuring this as soon as I get it to work.

The problem still remains and the outlines are:

• antispam plugin is compiled, configured for dspam and debug is switched on.
• plugin starts with dovecot and throws debug info to /var/log/messages (debug logging activated via syslog)
• as soon as I move a message into the spam folder it gives an error message saying "antispam signature not found"

I checked that the given location for the dspam executable is correct, that the user executing it (dovecot?) is actually able to execute dspam and that dspam trusts this user. I triple-checked that the signature is configured correctly. I have lines like

X-DSPAM-Signature: 1,49084a24139132188715614

in all mails and my plugin conf says

# mail signature (used with any backend requiring a signature)

antispam_signature = X-DSPAM-Signature

I do not get any error messages in the debug output, only dovecot says: dovecot: Nov 09 13:19:40 Error: IMAP(****): Next message unexpectedly lost from 49

Any ideas? How can I get a more specific debugging for the signature? Or might this still be a permission problem?

Here is my plugin config:

# antispam plugin - learn spam from folder antispam_signature = X-DSPAM-Signature antispam_spam = spam antispam_dspam_binary = /usr/local/bin/dspam

Personally, I don't set anything but the spam folder, trash folder names and the args to pass to the dspam executable. It works here flawlessly.

plugins { antispam_trash = trash;Trash;Deleted Items antispam_spam = SPAM;Spam;Junk antispam_dspam_args = --client;--deliver=;--user;%u }

I am using dspam in a different setup; I run it under amavis so the user is always the user amavis. I don't run a daemon so --client makes no sense. What does "deliver=" do? Is that the same as "deliver=innocent,spam" ?

I think it must be related to permissions in some way but I do not see how. I would like to debug it further but am no C programmer. I cannot see why it is not able to extract the signature.

Yes, you are correct about not needing '--client' in your case. '--deliver=' means deliver nothing, just process it. Since I don't use quarantine on my setup, and the message is existent already in IMAP, there is no need to deliver anything.
