libspamass.so library
Hi,
I'm using Messaging Server version 6.2-6.01.
I need to integrate it with SpamAssassin (version 3.1.3).
I have noticed that some functions (e.g. adding header to e-mail) are done in different way while using spamc client and libspamass.so library.
Libspamass.so library is part of Messaging Server and it is used instead of spamc- SpamAssassin client.
I wonder if libspamass.so version in MS 6.2-6.01 is proper for SpamAssassin version 3.1.3.
Is it possible to download other version of libspamass.so library?
What version of SpamAssassin is supported by Messaging Server version 6.2-6.01?
Best regards,
e2rd

You can use any version of SA with the standard libspamass.so provided with Messaging Server.
I have used versions from 2.64 through 3.1 on my system, with no change in Messaing Server. I anticpate upgrading to the current SA, when I have time to install it....
The reason things are done somewhat differently with our integration is due to scaling and performance reasons.
If you're running a server where people get many messages addressed to multiple users, then it's important to sent one copy of such a message to SA, rather than the potentially hundreds of copies. That's why our integration sends messages out to process before address expansion is done. We also don't sent the message to SA, and then accept it back. Instead, we send the message to SA, and only accept the results back. Messaging keeps the message, and adds the header as configured instead.....

Hi,
I give you an example.
My locaf.cf file contains:

If I run spamc < test.msg I get the return:

But if I send an e-mail using Messaging Server (with libspamass.so) then this e-mail doesn't contain X-Spam headers:

Spam-test header is added using Sieve rule.
What I need to configure to implement adding X-Spam headers (especiallly X-Spam-Level) to all e-mails received by Messaging Server?

Um, I feel like you didn't read what I typed yesterday.
No SA settings will actually change any headers in your messages. The reason is that SA doesn't "give" the message back to Messaging Server after processing, all it gives back is "spam or notspam".
You have to configure Messaging Server to add the header, per the documentation. Your local.cf is of no interest to me, and nothing you put in there will cause Messaging Server to add any headers.

Hi,
Is it possible to configure Messaging Server to add header like X-Spam-Level or header containing SA score only (integer)?
I need do configure filters (Sieve rules) to read the score.
I don't know how to read it from header like:
Spam-test: True ; 998.9 / 6.0
Could you give me some exemplary Sieve rule that reads the SA score?

Yes, it's possible. See documentation:
http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/819-2650/6n4u4dtra?a=view#bgatg
specifically, look at the "mode" option, where you can get SA to return a result string. Then look at:
http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/819-2650/6n4u4dtrc?a=view
support for Sieve, with examples.

Hi,
I need to configure a Sieve filter in LDAP mailSieveRuleSource entry that reads the SpamAssassin score and makes some action (fileinto, discard) based on it.
At first i try to add a filter in my option.dat file.
I have the entry:
spamfilter1_string_action=data:,require ["spamtest", "relational", "comparator-i;ascii-numeric", "fileinto"]; if spamtest :value "ge" :comparator "i;ascii-numeric" "0" {fileinfo "spam";};
but it doesn't work.
Do you know what is wrong with it?
I prefer to have a header like X-Spam-Level (number of '*' means SA score) in every e-mail tested by SpamAssassin.
It would be simple to test it with Sieve filter in LDAP mailSieveRuleSource entry.
Alternatively I could have a header that contains a score in integer format (but not whole verdict string).
How to configure a Sieve filter in option.dat file to get a header like that.
Could you give some exemplary entry?
Best regards,
e2rd

I don't quite understand.
Sieve filters don't "get a header". Messaging will add headers based on SA results, if you configure it based on the documentation I posted earlier. Have you read this, and tried it? Do you get the headers? You have to take these things one step at a time. Until you get headers, you can't filter them with Sieve. I can't tell how far you got.
# 8
I can only add a header like:
Spam-test: True ; 7.3 / 5.0
using such entry in option.dat file:
spamfilter1_string_action=data:,require ["addheader"];addheader "Spam-test: $U";
But I don't know how to read the score from it in LDAP mailSieveRuleSource entry.
I can't add header like X-Spam-Level or header that contains the score only.
Could you give me an exemplary entry in option.dat that adds such headers?
Or could you write how to test the score in header that contains the whole result string (e.g. Spam-test: True ; 7.3 / 5.0) - exemplary Sieve rule, please.
Best regards,

What's wrong with reading the Spam-test for results? You should be able to parse that for the 7.3/5.0 results, and make your decision, based on that.
# 10
Hi,
I have successfully configured Sieve filter that reads SA score.
The reason of my problem was a misprint in the documentation you sent me.
The exemplary Sieve script is:
spamfilter1_string_action=require ["spamtest", "relational", \
"comparator-i;ascii-numeric", "fileinto"];\
if anyof (address :matches "from" ["*@siroe.com",\
"*@*.siroe.com"]) \
{keep;} \
elsif spamtest :value "ge" :comparator "i;ascii-numeric" "8" \
{discard;}\
elsif spamtest :value "ge" :comparator "i;ascii-numeric" "5" \
{fileinfo "spam-likely";}\
else \
{keep;}
There is "fileinfo" instead of "fileinto".
Please correct that to avoid problems like mine in the future.

A doc bug has been filed. This should be fixed with the release of the next version.

Hi,
My Sieve filter still doesn't work correct.
I have such filter in LDAP mailSieveRuleSource entry:
require ["spamtest", "relational", "comparator-i;ascii-numeric", "fileinto"]; if (spamtest :value "gt" :comparator "i;ascii-numeric" "5"){fileinto "spam";}
Every message tested by SpamAssassin has a header like:
Spam-test: True ; 7.3 / 5.0
The condition in my filter is always false, even if the SA score is greater than 5.
It is true if I change the condition to: spamtest :value "eq" :comparator "i;ascii-numeric" "0".
That means filter could not determine whether any test was done.
Why my filter doesn't read correct the SA score from message header?
What should be the correct format/name of header?
How to add such header to every message tested by SA?
Best regards,

require ["spamtest", "relational", "comparator-i;ascii-numeric", "fileinto"]; if (spamtest :value "gt" :comparator "i;ascii-numeric" "5"){fileinto "spam";}
Every message tested by SpamAssassin has a header like:
Spam-test: True ; 7.3 / 5.0
Hm. "spamtest" does not equal "Spam-test".
# 14
Changing the header's name doesn't help.What else could be wrong?

I'm truly sorry, I am not a programmer. I gave that up 20 years ago.I used exactly the setup as shown in the documentation, and have my spam delievered into a "spam" folder. This works just fine for me.

Hi,
this is bug
6485247 spamfilterX_string_action can only accept sieve filters of 256 characters
It's not fixed yet as of 118207-59. It should be fixed in a coming patch.
The workaround is to define long sieve filters within a channel or system sieve
and only use the spamadjust/addheader in the sieve.
For ex:
<option.dat>
spamfilter1_string_action=data:, require ["addheader","spamtest"]; \
spamadjust "$U"; addheader "Spam-Test: $U"
<imta.cnf>
ims-master <--snip--> destinationfilter file:IMTA_TABLE:spamassassin.filte
r
<msg_root/config/spamassassin.filter>
require ["spamtest","relational","comparator-i;ascii-numeric","fileinto"];
if spamtest :value "ge" :comparator "i;ascii-numeric" "10" {discard;}
elsif spamtest :value "ge" :comparator "i;ascii-numeric" "5" {fileinto "spam";}
else {keep;}
