The easiest way to integrate postfix and spamassassin is to use spamd. First, edit /etc/postfix/master.cf, find the
| No Format |
|---|
# ========================================================================== # service type private unpriv chroot wakeup maxproc command + args # (yes) (yes) (yes) (never) (50) # ========================================================================== ... smtp |
...
inet n - n - - smtpd
...
|
line and just add " -o content_filter=spamassassin" to the end of the line:
| No Format |
|---|
# ==========================================================================
# service type private unpriv chroot wakeup maxproc command + args
# (yes) (yes) (yes) (never) (50)
# ==========================================================================
...
smtp inet n - n - - smtpd -o content_filter=spamassassin
...
|
Then, go to the end of the file, and add this:
| No Format |
|---|
# ==========================================================================
# service type private unpriv chroot wakeup maxproc command + args
# (yes) (yes) (yes) (never) (50)
# ==========================================================================
...
spamassassin
unix - n n - - pipe
|
Then, go to the end of the file, and add this:
| No Format |
|---|
spamassassin unix - n n - - pipe user=nobody argv=/path/to/spamc -f -e /path/to/postfix/sendmail -oi -f ${sender} ${recipient} # make sure it's all on one line or # start the secondconsecutive linelines with a whitespace # like I did here |
Then, setup spamd to start with the system, and you are ready to go. If you wish to provide spamassassin preferences, change "user=nobody" to a valid system user (except for root, since Postfix will NOT call external programs as root), and add .spamassassin into that user's home directory.
