Hi,

I configured postfix mail server which was working fine later I configured Spamassassin with it to support spam filter capability. To do this followed the instructions given at http://www.computerbits.com/archive/2004/0900/schroder0409.html

in tail -f /var/log/maillog on the mail server I see the following messages repeating and it is frustrating me.

Jan 19 17:43:59 transfer spamd[13051]: info: setuid to spamfilter succeeded

looks like you have a mail loop. Post your appropriate conf files please.

Hi elmore,
Thanks for the reply.

OS= Red Hat Linux 3.2.3-42

The parameters that I have changed in vi main.cf is as follows:

myhostname = transfer.delixusindia.com
mydomain = delixusindia.com
myorigin = $mydomain
inet_interfaces = all
mydestination = $myhostname, localhost.$mydomain $mydomain

I inserted the following lines in master.cf file
smtp inet n - n - - smtpd
-o content_filter=spamfilter
spamfilter unix - n n - - pipe

user=spamfilter argv=/usr/sbin/spamfilter -f -e /usr/sbin/sendmail -oi -f ${sender} ${recipient}


And my /etc/mail/spamassassin/local.cf looks as follows:
required_hits 5
rewrite_subject 1
subject_tag [SPAM]
report_safe 0

skip_rbl_checks 0
use_bayes 1

# Whitelist important senders
whitelist_from *@delixusindia.com


Hope above info helps u a lot to identify the error.

Thanks in Advance,
Saleem
