  • The Horde component is removed from Plesk Installer. We recommend switching to another webmail software supported in Plesk.
  • The BIND DNS server has already been deprecated and removed from Plesk for Windows.
    If a Plesk for Windows server is still using BIND, the upgrade to Plesk Obsidian 18.0.70 will be unavailable until the administrator switches the DNS server to Microsoft DNS. We strongly recommend transitioning to Microsoft DNS within the next 6 weeks, before the Plesk 18.0.70 release.

spamassassin ignores required hits, is scoring spam to low, MAPS not working

hi,

system: debian 3.1, spamassassin 3.03

my whole spamassassin/MAPS config looks broken somehow:

1) although i changed alle hits_required entries in the psa db, table sa_conf to 5 the hits_required entry in mail headers stays at 7

2) definite spam mails are scored at around 2-3 - on my old server with a by hand spamassassin installation they've been well above 5. i had the rules_du_jour package installed - is this advisable/neccessary and how to do this best on a plesk server?

3) i entred sbl-xbl.spamhaus.org into the maps config but the testmails from spamhaus are getting thru.

as i see it, debian handles all these things a bit different then the stock RH? installs - so i'm interrested in reports from debian users especially if they have all these things working before i contact the plesk support,

Have you checked your logfiles? Does your maillog seem to be correct? No errors or suspect entries about SpamAssassin?

Is your inetd/xinetd configuration updated correct with the MAPS settings?

nothing unusual, spamassassin kicks in and scans the messages - but the score is to low for effective spamfiltering

this is hard to answer for me because i can't really see where MAPS filtering should be in the chain (remeber it's a debian system, not RH). i have in /etc/inetd.conf:

smtp stream tcp nowait root /var/qmail/bin/tcp-env tcp-env /var/qmail/bin/relaylock /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd /var/qmail/bin/smtp_auth /var/qmail/bin/true /var/qmail/bin/cmd5checkpw /var/qmail/bin/true

problem is, my old qmail installation (self made follwoing life with qmail) used tcpserver so i'm a bit lost how plesk is chaining the mail transfer process. any insights?
