[ ... ] Do yourself a favour and use a milter instead of piping each single mail through spamassassin. http://pkgs.org/centos-6/epel-x86_64/spamass-milter-0.3.2-3.el6.x86_64.rpm.html Then add something like smtpd_milters = unix:/var/run/spamass-milter/postfix/sock inet:127.0.0.1:8891 non_smtpd_milters = $smtpd_milters milter_default_action = accept to your Postfix' main.cf and configure the milter flags in /etc/sysconfig/spamass-milter. > Thank you > Alex [ ... ] Alexander _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS at centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
