Resolved [PPP-18292] How to set an option for spamassassin in plesk

[proton23]

Hi!

I've been searching a lot now and just can't find an answer.

If I try to start greylisting for spamassassin I get this:

spammng failed: server socket setup failed, retry 1: spamd: could not create IO::Socket::INET6 socket on [::1]:783: Cannot assign requested address
server socket setup failed, retry 2: spamd: could not create IO::Socket::INET6 socket on [127.0.0.1]:783: Address already in use

invoke-rc.d: initscript spamassassin, action "restart" failed.
ERROR:spammng:Unable to restart SpamAssassin service

The solution seems to be adding one of the option -4, --ipv4, or --ipv4-only
but if I add this option to /etc/default/spamassassin and try to start greylisting again the file will be overwriten and I get the same message again.

So how do I configure spamassassin in plesk to make this change stick?

Best regards

Adding '-4' to OPTIONS doesn't preserved by spammng (i.e enable/disable GL or SA settings). You should add to the end of /etc/default/spamassassin following string:

OPTIONS="$OPTIONS -4"

Perfect! That did the trick.
Thank you very much!
