Spamassassin is not working as it should...
I ran toaster_setup -s filter
because toaster_setup -s spamassassin is not in yet (documentation ahead of the code, says the developer
)
I have spamassassin enabled in the toaster-watcher.conf
I immediately updated spamassassin as seen on this page
http://www.tnpi.biz/internet/mail/toaster/filtering/content/ spamassassin.shtml
When I do
toaster_setup -s filtertest i get the following
then my maillog has this
So it finds spam in the test, or so it appears.
But all of my personal e-mails aren't getting spam filtered. None of the e-mails I receive or send have the X-Spam-Status header displaying that e-mails score.

thanks for the reply.
i started out with simscan but all the documentation said qmail-scanner, so right now i have qmail scanner enabled.
and in my toaster-watcher.conf i have
filtering_method = tcpserver

To further answer your question, it really doesn't matter to me what I use as long as it works. I'm very willing to change what I have to get a working configuration.
Reading the spamassassin docs they always refer to procmailrc (instead of maildrop?), so I'm really working on something that has very limited documentation...

i installed the latest version which has support for toaster_setup -s spamassasin...
I'm trying to figure out why I don't get the headers written on any of my e-mails. I did lots of edits to
/usr/local/etc/mail/spamassassin/local.cf (as seen in documentation and spamassassin.org) but it seems like none are read or utilized.
Where are the settings read from, just the toaster-watcher.conf file?

Ray,,
It's not that nobody wants to help you, you've just made it far too difficult for anyone to help you. To understand, read this:
http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
Then come back and ask your question(s) again and you'll most likely get a helpful response.

a very easily identifiable test would be to add
rewrite_header Subject *****SPAM*****
to /usr/local/etc/mail/spamassassin/local.cf
you can't miss when it renames subjects like that -- verifying that this file and its configs are being read.
Lately I've been trying to drop all my foreign spam with:
ok_languages en
ok_locales en
score UNWANTED_LANGUAGE_BODY 5.0
score CHARSET_FARAWAY 5.0
score CHARSET_FARAWAY_BODY 5.0
score CHARSET_FARAWAY_HEADERS 5.0
Sadly, I guess spamassassin has poor abilities to identify foreign mail, because I'm still getting spam thats clearly foreign but not being tagged as such.
