Hello List,

I am using SpamAssassin version 3.2.5
Postfix, amavis, clamd, *nix


My question:
All emails from localhost are tagged als ***Spam*** in the subject line.

How can I avoid this ?
Please help me.

(Header-Merssage:Received: from localhost (unknown [127.0.0.1]))

Regards,
Oliver

since localhost is unknown, you might want to add it to your /etc/hosts

Easy solution: Don't pass mail from localhost to spamassassin.

Longer solution: What rules are being hit?

from server to server over web are tagged as spamWhat can I do?Oliver

Since you're using amavis, you'd have to ask those folks.
SA will scan anything given to it, so ...

As Theo says, this is an amavis (and/or postfix) issue. This should
give you some ideas:
http://www200.pair.com/mecham/spam/bypassing.html
notably:
http://www200.pair.com/mecham/spam/bypassing.html#1

You should also find examples in amavisd.conf and amavisd.conf-sample
and the amavisd-new website.

What I do is I dont pass local mails through the scan at all. You dont
expect spam from localhost ( else you are in much bigger trouble :-) )

I am sure amavis will have an option when to scan messages for spam and
when not

As folks have said, this is an amavisd-new question, since you are using
amavis... But the short answer is "policy banks".

This link should get you started:
http://www.ijs.si/software/amavisd/a...cs.html#pbanks

example 1 seems to be what you are looking for...

And now, back to questions specifically about spamassassin....

In my case, I setup Postfix to listen on 2 ports (that means 2 instances)
- Regular port 25 will pass to SA
- Another port will not pass to SA and we use this port to send mail to
each other.

Cheers,
