| Here's how we set up our site-wide Spam``Assassin bayes database, including the ability for users to train it. | {{{#!wiki note '''Additional information is available at a [[https://wiki.hcoop.net/SpamAssassinAdmin?rev=14|previous version of this page]]''' |

| 1. Create a new user `spamd` with home `/var/local/lib/spamd`. 1. Add "spamd" to `/etc/cron.allow`. 1. Perform the following as `spamd`: 1. `cd ~spamd` 1. `maildirmake -S Maildir`, to create the shared Spam``Assassin mailbox. 1. `maildirmake -f SiteSpam -s write Maildir`, to create a writable folder for misclassified spam (or if extracting from a tarball, make sure it has the sticky bit set by doing {{{chmod +s Maildir/.SiteSpam/*}}}). 1. `maildirmake -f SiteHam -s write Maildir`, to create a writable folder for misclassified ham (or if extracting from a tarball, make sure it has the sticky bit set by doing {{{chmod +s Maildir/.SiteHam/*}}}). 1. Add the following to `~spamd/.crontab` to learn from and delete messages in those shared folders every five minutes (changing MACHINENAME to be the name of the local machine): {{{ MAILTO=logs@MACHINENAME.hcoop.net # NOTE: Once you are certain that sa-learn is working, add "> /dev/null" after it, but before "; find" # Learn from submitted spam 0,5,10,15,20,25,30,35,40,45,50,55 * * * * sa-learn --spam --dir /var/local/lib/spamd/Maildir/.SiteSpam/cur ; find /var/local/lib/spamd/Maildir/.SiteSpam/cur -type f -delete # Learn from submitted ham 0,5,10,15,20,25,30,35,40,45,50,55 * * * * sa-learn --ham --dir /var/local/lib/spamd/Maildir/.SiteHam/cur ; find /var/local/lib/spamd/Maildir/.SiteHam/cur -type f -delete # Remove any artifacts that were submitted while running sa-learn 3 3 * * * find /var/local/lib/spamd/Maildir/.SiteHam/tmp -type f -delete ; find /var/local/lib/spamd/Maildir/.SiteSpam/tmp -type f -delete |

| '''Be sure there's a newline after the last line, or it won't be processed.''' 1. Modify `/etc/spamassassin/local.cf` with the directive: {{{ # Location of bayes data bayes_path /var/local/lib/spamd/bayes/.spamassassin/bayes # Fix bayes permissions bayes_file_mode 0770 # Directives from old setup # [any custom stuff from the old /etc/spamassassin/local.cf that you want to keep] }}} 1. Modify `/etc/default/spamassassin` by setting `OPTIONS` and `ENABLED`as follows. The `-x` prevents `spamd` from trying to look for per-user configuration, which would be silly because it always runs as the same user here. Without this flag, the cron job triggered every 5 minutes would log an error message, which would lead to an e-mail being sent to the `spamd` user. {{{ # Change to one to enable spamd ENABLED=1 OPTIONS="--create-prefs --max-children 5 --helper-home-dir=/var/local/lib/spamd -u spamd -x -s /var/log/spamd.log" PIDFILE="/var/local/lib/spamd/pid" }}} 1. Make a file called `/etc/logrotate.d/spamd` with the following contents. {{{ /var/log/spamd.log { weekly missingok create 0640 root adm rotate 4 compress delaycompress sharedscripts postrotate [ -f '/var/local/lib/spamd/pid' ] && (kill -HUP `cat /var/local/lib/spamd/pid`) || exit 0 endscript } }}} 1. Start the daemon by doing {{{/etc/init.d/spamassassin start}}}. Check `/var/log/spamd.log` to be sure that it started OK. 1. Install the `.crontab` entries that you wrote earlier by doing {{{crontab -u spamd ~spamd/.crontab}}} as root. Do this every time that you make changes to `~spamd/.crontab`. 1. Edit {{{/etc/courier/shared/index}}} as follows, being sure to separate each column with a single TAB character. The second column is UID, and third column is GID -- consult `/etc/passwd` and `/etc/group` to make these match the `spamd` user and group. {{{ spamd 116 119 /var/local/lib/spamd }}} 1. Restart courier's IMAP process: {{{runsv restart courier-imap}}} 1. Test by checking to see if you can access {{{shared.SpamAssassin.SiteHam}}} and {{{shared.SpamAssassin.SiteSpam}}} from IMAP. If not, do {{{maildirmake --add SpamAssassin=~spamd/Maildir ~/Maildir}}} as your normal user from the machine that does courier (and presumably spamassassin as well). You might need to replace `~` with `~USERNAME` if you are using sudo to do this, where USERNAME is your normal username. 1. Now copy some spammy mail into the {{{SiteSpam}}} directory, wait 5 minutes, and check to see if the mail got learned and deleted. 1. If so, edit {{{~spamd/.crontab}}} to pipe the output of sa-learn to /dev/null, and run crontab as specified earlier to propogate this change. |
