slugging through an awkward issue with spamassassin on my home server.
I am using fetchmail to get mail from my ISP - who in essence, has already accepted delivery.
I have an email in my box which fetchmail keeps retrieving and spamassassin is rejecting it - which is kind of an endless loop.
Specifically, I am running spamassassin & spamass-milter (milter via sendmail).
I currently have the following options to spamd set...
# cat /etc/sysconfig/spamassassin SPAMDOPTIONS="-d -c -a -m5 -H -L -x -u smmsp"
hoping that the '-L' option would serve the purpose...it hasn't
Any suggestions? Right now, it is only 1 email but these things have a way of snowballing.
TIA
You might want to check if you are getting socket errors in your fetchmail. It will cause messages to repeat in your mail. I experienced this from my fetchmail. To fix it I changed fetchmailrc to include logging and expunge 1 to erase mail from my server. here is a copy of my .fetchmailrc file.
# Configuration created Sun Jul 11 10:36:42 2004 by fetchmailconf set postmaster "rmiles" set bouncemail set no spambounce set properties "" set daemon 90

set logfile /home/rmiles/fetchmail.log poll mail.comcast.net with proto POP3 user 'r.godzilla' there with password 'xxxx' is 'rmiles' here
