spamassassin woes - headers only

PSA Spamassassin.

If a user has spamassassin enabled, then their incoming email is stripped and left as the following:

Return-Path: <[email protected]>
Delivered-To: [email protected]

I have narrowed it down to spamassassin as the culprit - although I cannot determine why.

They only thing recently performed on the server was plsek migration. Alhtough a disastorous event in itself, I do not see what the relationship could be????


The following extract shows spamassassin working ok (noting the existing bad protocol message)

NOthing of interest in the messages file.....

Just in case anyone else has this problem...

The .qmail file which calls psa-spamc (/usr/local/psa/bin/psa-spamc) is empty.

Copying the contents of the psa-spamc file, and modifying the location of the spamc program seems to work - although I will let Plesk know....

This thread provides some useful reading : https://forum.plesk.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=21384&highlight=psaspamc

psa-spamc

I also came across this problem just now, after updating my plesk configuration. Seems the problem in my case was that /usr/local/psa/bin/psa-spamc was no longer executable!

The error message in maillog was:


delivery 7200: success: /bin/sh:_line_1:_/usr/local/psa/bin/psa-spamc:_Permission_denied/Get_mailbox_size_error:_unable_to_get_size_of_subdir_in_mail_user_home_dir(please_report_about_to_development_group).//Get_mailbox_size_error:_unable_to_get_size_of_subdir_in_mail_user_home_dir(please_report_about_to_development_group).//did_1+0+2/did_0+0+1/

chmod a+x /usr/local/psa/bin/psa-spamc quickly solved the problem.

I sure wish Plesk would TEST their updates.
