[gentoo-user] Trying to get Spamassassin Working

[Jason Carson]

Greetings,

I am trying to get Spamassassin working. I am following this guide...
http://www.hurring.com/scott/howto/postfix_spamd/

The configuration on that page is very minimalist and that's how I want to
start off. I can get progressively more complex as I learn more but I want
to keep it as simple as possible for now.

According to that guide I only need to add 5 lines to my
/etc/postfix/master.cf file

smtp inet n - - - - smtpd
-o content_filter=spamassassin

spamassassin unix - n n - - pipe
user=nobody argv=/usr/bin/spamc -f -e
/usr/sbin/sendmail -oi -f ${sender} ${recipient}

okay, I will break it down one line at a time and state the problem with
that line.
---------------------------------------
1)This doesn't work...
smtp inet n - - - - smtpd

I need to use the default setting in the file...
smtp inet n - n - - smtpd
---------------------------------------
2)This doesn't work...
-o content_filter=spamassassin

My log says...
Jan 24 12:18:09 penguin postfix/master[11431]: fatal:
/etc/postfix/master.cf: line 24: bad transport type:
content_filter=spamassassin
---------------------------------------
3)I see no problems with this line...
spamassassin unix -     n       n       -       -       pipe
---------------------------------------
4)This doesn't work...
user=nobody argv=/usr/bin/spamc -f -e

My log says...
Jan 24 12:21:41 penguin postfix/master[11770]: fatal:
/etc/postfix/master.cf: line 107: bad transport type: argv=/usr/bin/spamc
---------------------------------------
5)This doesn't work...
/usr/sbin/sendmail -oi -f ${sender} ${recipient}

My log says....
Jan 24 12:23:31 penguin postfix/master[11919]: fatal:
/etc/postfix/master.cf: line 108: bad transport type: -oi
---------------------------------------

Anyone know what to do?

ok, got it working, these two lines below need to be all one line...

> smtp inet n - - - - smtpd
> -o content_filter=spamassassin

These 3 lines below need to be all one line.

> spamassassin unix - n n - - pipe
> user=nobody argv=/usr/bin/spamc -f -e
> /usr/sbin/sendmail -oi -f ${sender} ${recipient}
