The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Postfix + SpamAssassin: How to auto learn Bayesian filter for spam settings?

Asked by kitster510 in SendMail Email Server

Tags: ,

Hi folks-

The company that I work for is a Windows Environment site, with a couple of Linux servers here and there for emails and database.

Currently, I am the UNIX admin trying to set up spam filtering on the front end of our incoming email environment.

What I would like is to be able to set up these two mailboxes on the Linux server, and send spam and ham emails from my Outlook to there. The Linux server would then run sa-learn automatically to create its own spam filter.

This is our current email flow

(Exchange 2003) [All Users mailboxes lie here]

End users are reporting that there are getting bombarded with spam and that SpamAssassin and Exchange's Intelligent Message Filtering is not doing their job. I checked SpamAssassin and did a dump for the Bayesian filter but nothing came up.

I am following this webpage here: http://gtmp.org/pub/sa-postfix.en.html . I basically setup an alias address on my email said that will forward any emails like mr.spam@somecompany.com back to the Linux Mail Server. In the LMS, I followed the webpage and made an alias for spam and ham, changed the transport file to forward these mails into whatever I specified in the master.cf file.

However, it is not working...

Currently getting this error:
Oct 16 14:48:10 mail postfix/qmgr[32342]: warning: transport sa-spam failure -- see a previous warning/fatal/panic logfile record for the problem description
Oct 16 14:48:10 mail postfix/qmgr[32342]: warning: premature end-of-input on private/sa-spam socket while reading input attribute name
Oct 16 14:48:10 mail postfix/qmgr[32342]: warning: private/sa-spam socket: malformed response

I'm not sure what the procedure is, but is there anything I am not doing right?

Thanks in advance
Wilson
