autowhitelist files not updated or not existent

Hi all !!
I’ve got a Centos 5.11 public mail server running Virtualmin GPL 4.15. I think there a problem in antispam services.
I’m running spamassassin 3.3.1.
Unfortunately I’m not able to attach to this post my configuration files. How can I do it?

Problem is that some customers report me some emails don’t arrive to their mailbox so I check my log and see that emails is signed as SPAM and deleted.
Seems that spamassassin is too aggressive but I see a problem in autowhitelist files, I don’t know if this issue can create some problems.
All autowhitelist files that are present into homes directories are update at 2012 and a lot of users haven’t this file into its folder, seems to be new users created after 2012.
Also, if I create a new mail, the first sender that write an email to that address receive this error but messagge is deliver correctly to the mailbox:

procmail: Enforcing stricter permissions on “/var/mail/USER_DOMAIN.it”
procmail: Error while writing to “/var/log/procmail.log”

Failed to open /etc/webmin/miniserv.conf : Permission denied at /etc/webmin/virtual-server/lookup-domain.pl line 9.

procmail: Program failure (13) of “/etc/webmin/virtual-server/lookup-domain.pl”
Time:1426869899 From:“SENDER” To:USER@DOMAIN.it User:USER_DOMAIN.it Size:897 Dest:/var/spool/mail/USER_DOMAIN.it Mode:None

554 5.3.0 unknown mailer error 13

I hope this information are enough.
Thanks a lot.

Howdy,

Hmm, how did you initially install Virtualmin? Was it with the install.sh script?

Also, what is the output of this command:

postconf -n

Thanks for reply.

Yes, I installed it with install.sh script.

I’m using sendmail not postfix, this command doesn’t work.

Howdy,

It sounds like there are some permissions problems going on there.

Unfortunately, I’m not too familiar with Sendmail these days, so I’m not quite sure what to tell you regarding how to troubleshoot that.

Is using Postfix an option?

It’s simpler to setup, and easier to get help when things don’t work right :slight_smile:

However, if you’re hoping to keep Sendmail – I can offer that in terms of Postfix, I was beginning to wonder if your “mailbox_command” was set incorrectly. On Postfix, it needs to use the procmail-wrapper in order to switch to the correct user during email delivery:

mailbox_command = /usr/bin/procmail-wrapper -o -a $DOMAIN -d $LOGNAME

If you’re familiar with Sendmail setup, you may be able to use the above to accomplish a similar setup.

This is a public mail server. I prefer to don’t touch configurations too much…

This is my procmail configuration:

LOGFILE=/var/log/procmail.log
TRAP=/etc/webmin/virtual-server/procmail-logger.pl
:0wi
VIRTUALMIN=|/etc/webmin/virtual-server/lookup-domain.pl --exitcode 73 $LOGNAME
EXITCODE=$?
:0

  • ?/usr/bin/test “$EXITCODE” = “73”
    /dev/null
    :0
  • ?/usr/bin/test “$VIRTUALMIN” != “”
    {
    INCLUDERC=/etc/webmin/virtual-server/procmail/$VIRTUALMIN
    }
    DEFAULT=/var/spool/mail/$LOGNAME
    ORGMAIL=/var/spool/mail/$LOGNAME
    DROPPRIVS=yes
    :0
    $DEFAULT
    :0
  • ^X-Spam-Status: Yes
    /dev/null

And this is my sendmail configuration:

What do you think about these configurations?
Thanks.

Sorry, I’m really not familiar with Sendmail configuration… if you’d like to use Sendmail, that’s okay, but you’d need to be comfortable setting it up and troubleshooting any issues that come with it.

We definitely recommend Postfix.

Perhaps someone more familiar with Sendmail than myself will see this and respond though :slight_smile:

Ok thanks. I understand.

But do you think that my problem with auto-whitelist files is caused by Sendmail? Not Spamassassin or something else?

“All autowhitelist files that are present into homes directories are updated at 2012 and a lot of users haven’t this file into its folder, seems to be new users created after 2012.”

This is my spamassassin configuration file:

These values can be overridden by editing ~/.spamassassin/user_prefs.cf

(see spamassassin(1) for details)

These should be safe assumptions and allow for simple visual sifting

without risking lost emails.

Hi.

I resolve issue regarding auto whitelist.
Spamassassin didn’t load AWL module so uncomment this line into configuration file:

loadplugin Mail::SpamAssassin::Plugin::AWL

http://spamassassin.apache.org/full/3.1.x/doc/Mail_SpamAssassin_Plugin_AWL.html

After this old files start to be updated and users that didn’t have this file have got a new one.

Bye !
