1 Greetings,
2
3 I am trying to get Spamassassin working. I am following this guide...
4 http://www.hurring.com/scott/howto/postfix_spamd/
5
6 The configuration on that page is very minimalist and that's how I want to
7 start off. I can get progressively more complex as I learn more but I want
8 to keep it as simple as possible for now.

10 According to that guide I only need to add 5 lines to my
11 /etc/postfix/master.cf file
12
13 smtp inet n - - - - smtpd
14 -o content_filter=spamassassin
15
16 spamassassin unix - n n - - pipe
17 user=nobody argv=/usr/bin/spamc -f -e
18 /usr/sbin/sendmail -oi -f ${sender} ${recipient}
19
20 okay, I will break it down one line at a time and state the problem with
21 that line.
22 ---------------------------------------
23 1)This doesn't work...
24 smtp inet n - - - - smtpd
25
26 I need to use the default setting in the file...
27 smtp inet n - n - - smtpd
28 ---------------------------------------
29 2)This doesn't work...
30 -o content_filter=spamassassin
31
32 My log says...
33 Jan 24 12:18:09 penguin postfix/master[11431]: fatal:
34 /etc/postfix/master.cf: line 24: bad transport type:
35 content_filter=spamassassin
36 ---------------------------------------
37 3)I see no problems with this line...
38 spamassassin unix - n n - - pipe
39 ---------------------------------------
40 4)This doesn't work...
41 user=nobody argv=/usr/bin/spamc -f -e
42
43 My log says...
44 Jan 24 12:21:41 penguin postfix/master[11770]: fatal:
45 /etc/postfix/master.cf: line 107: bad transport type: argv=/usr/bin/spamc
46 ---------------------------------------
47 5)This doesn't work...
48 /usr/sbin/sendmail -oi -f ${sender} ${recipient}
49
50 My log says....
51 Jan 24 12:23:31 penguin postfix/master[11919]: fatal:
52 /etc/postfix/master.cf: line 108: bad transport type: -oi
53 ---------------------------------------
