SpamAssassin won't run

pigeon35 · February 12, 2023, 1:12pm

Hello,

Have installed spamassassin and spamc-ssl packages from x86_64 22.03.2

However, no init.d scipts were added.

Tried running spamd manually and:

root@Router:/# /usr/bin/spamd
-ash: /usr/bin/spamd: not found
root@Router:/#

But it is there:

root@Router:/# ls -la /usr/bin/spam*
-rwxr-xr-x    1 root     root         30242 Apr 29  2021 /usr/bin/spamassassin
-rwxr-xr-x    1 root     root         41997 Apr 29  2021 /usr/bin/spamc
-rwxr-xr-x    1 root     root        130523 Apr 29  2021 /usr/bin/spamd

Same thing happens for other components of the package:

root@Router:/# ls -la /usr/bin/sa-*
-rwxr-xr-x    1 root     root          5053 Apr 29  2021 /usr/bin/sa-awl
-rwxr-xr-x    1 root     root         14901 Apr 29  2021 /usr/bin/sa-check_spamd
-rwxr-xr-x    1 root     root         22449 Apr 29  2021 /usr/bin/sa-compile
-rwxr-xr-x    1 root     root         45937 Apr 29  2021 /usr/bin/sa-learn
-rwxr-xr-x    1 root     root         74369 Apr 29  2021 /usr/bin/sa-update

root@Router:/# /usr/bin/sa-check_spamd 
-ash: /usr/bin/sa-check_spamd: not found
root@Router:/# 
root@Router:/# /usr/bin/sa-update 
-ash: /usr/bin/sa-update: not found
root@Router:/#

No output to syslog and can't see any log output with name spam:

I've got Exim+Dovecot+ClamAV working and SpamAssassin is the last piece of the puzzle, so would be great if can get some help to get this working please.

with root@OpenWrt:~# perl /usr/bin/spamd at least it starts, but trips over pretty much immediately.

I got:

root@Router:/# perl /usr/bin/spamd
"-T" is on the #! line, it must also be used on the command line at /usr/bin/spamd line 1.

root@Router:/# perl -T -w /usr/bin/spamd

There doesnt appear to be cpan to install new perl modules either.
opkg install perlbase-cpan did not install cpan.

opkg install spamassassin
opkg install spamc-ssl
opkg install perlbase-base
opkg install perlbase-anydbm-file
opkg install perlbase-archive
opkg install perlbase-cpan
opkg install perlbase-io
opkg install perlbase-perlio
opkg install perlbase-pod
opkg install perl-http-date

Did find a package for AnyDBM, now installed. And....

Wow, something worked sort of.

OK, so it looks like most modules are now installed. But even though AnyDBM is installed its not recognising it as such.

Finally the Mail/SpamAssassin.pm missing. Seems important

Did you give up in the end? Wondering about trying this rather than relying only upon Microsoft O365's spam filtering.

pigeon35 · May 18, 2023, 9:26am

I basically gave up. I left clamav doing virus scanning of emails and used SpamCop and Spamhaus blocklists, but thats it on OpenWRT. I've put SpamAssassin on the client instead.

I did log a ticket for this on github I think, but not sure if it got a response.
