Gamera not scanning for spam

[egate]

Hi,

I've installed ART's Gamera anti spam/virus mail server. It is virus scanning and forwarding mail fine but it's not scanning for spam. The server is CentOS3. Can anyone give me any pointers?

The maillog shows messages like this:
Aug 26 11:10:20 granite qmail-scanner[3578]: Clear:RC:0(xxx.36.67.254): 0.336129 6196 [email protected] [email protected] Request_From_Stock_Enquiry_System_[CM402021] <[email protected]> 1125051020.3581-0.granite.xxxxx.net:497 1125051020.3581-1.granite.xxxxx.net:3900 orig-granite.xxxxxx.net11250510197223578:6196

The relevent part of the received email looks like this.

Many Thanks for any help,

First off, stay far away from CPAN on this, you'll cause all sorts of problems internally in spamassassin.

Next, make sure spamd is running, and then run qmail-scanner-reconfigure, this should detect spamassassin and add the SA scanning code to the qmail-scanner-queue.pl file.

Wow that was easy! Thanks.

This solved the same problem for me too; thanks ART!

The default install doesn't set spamd to run on startup (on my fresh RH9 config), so that may be causing this problem for some people.

Now to support rejecting mail to non-existant addresses... I'll let you know how it goes.
