Upgrade to amavisd-new 2.4.4

[freeblue]

Hi, doing my best to have better understanding of linux system and trying to not destroy my actual antispam (following the fabulous documentation of mr88talent) i have a new question about upgrade.

I actlually use etch version of debian, spamassassin 3.1.7-1, postfix 2.3.3-1
libcompress-zlib-perl 1.42-1 and amavisd-new 2.4.3.

Is it possible to upgrade my system to amavisd-new 2.4.4 or should i have to make a fresh new install?

thanks for understanding my newbie situation.......

hi again,
i also have a problem with pyzor.

i currently use pyzor 1:0.4.0+cvs20030201-6

since i update to spamassassin 3.1.7-1 i have the following message when i make a test (echo "test" | spamassassin -D because --lint now turns off net tests. i found this precious information here viewtopic.php?t=456&highlight=dbg+dcc+local+tests+disabling+dcc)

dbg: pyzor: [10899] finished: exit=0x0100
dbg: pyzor: check failed: no response

Can i find an issue for that problem. I would enjoy any suggestion.......

thanks a lot

about pyzor problem, i forgot to tell that pyzor ping perfectly works

su amavis -c 'pyzor ping'
82.94.255.100:24441 (200, 'OK')

Thanks

There are no changes needed to any configuration files if going from 2.4.3 to 2.4.4. Simply replace the amavisd-new executable and reload amavisd-new.

Code: Select all

cp /usr/sbin/amavisd-new /usr/sbin/amavisd-new-2.4.3
cd /usr/local/src
wget http://www.ijs.si/software/amavisd/amavisd-new-2.4.4.tar.gz
tar xzvf amavisd-new-2.4.4.tar.gz
cd amavisd-new-2.4.4
cp amavisd /usr/sbin/amavisd-new
amavisd-new reload

What does this say?

su amavis -c 'pyzor ping'

A better way to debug spamassassin is to feed it an actual message. The echo "test" was a temporary fix, so I don't really know how useful it is. You can get a test message from me:

Code: Select all

cd
wget http://www200.pair.com/mecham/spam/sample-spam.txt

then try:

su amavis -c 'spamassassin -D <sample-spam.txt'

or to limit the output (toward pyzor stuff):

su amavis -c 'spamassassin -D pyzor <sample-spam.txt'

Hi Mr88talent, thanks so much for your patience.

The update of amavisd-new to 2.4.4 work perfectly.

about pyzor test, because with new version of SA --lint option now turns off net tests, i have followed what you told in this thread viewtopic.php?t=456&highlight=dbg+dcc+local+tests+disabling+dcc
and as you say "echo test was a temporary fix".

Now, after running
su amavis -c 'spamassassin -D <sample-spam.txt' on the sample spam i have just downloaded, i can see that pyzor is working

dbg: pyzor: got response: 82.94.255.100:24441 (200, 'OK') 16 0

So one more time you solve all my problems without getting nervous about my "newbie questions" and that was very quick as usual.

I have another problem and this problem is not new for me.
in the debug output i can see there is a pb with sender policy framwork :
[6261] dbg: spf: no suitable relay for spf use found, skipping SPF-helo check
[6261] dbg: spf: no suitable relay for spf use found, skipping SPF check
[6261] dbg: spf: cannot get Envelope-From, cannot use SPF
[6261] dbg: spf: def_spf_whitelist_from: could not find useable envelope sender
[6261] dbg: spf: spf_whitelist_from: could not find useable envelope sender

Have you got a idea on the issue?

Thanks a lot.

Maybe this is because you are debugging (the message is sent from the local computer). Look in some of your mail to see if you see SPF rules hitting in the X-Spam-Status header.

one more time you are right mr88talent,
effectively in mail header i can see spf works and influe in spam mail scoring.
SPF rules hits in the X-Spam-Status header

After looking for informations about creating spf record i think i m gonna give up because a little bit hard for me to understand perfectly and for now it doen't seem to be essential.

Thank you very very much Mr88talent for you precious help.
Have a nice week.
