SpamAssassin no user / group

  • Hi,


    i've noticed the following error in the mail.log


    Code
    1. warning: connect to Milter service unix:/spamass/spamass.sock: Permission denied


    So...


    Code
    1. server:/var/spool/postfix/spamass# ls -latotal 8.0Kdrwxr-xr-x 2 spamass-milter root 4.0K Jun 1 11:03 .drwxr-xr-x 24 root root 4.0K May 7 21:31 ..srwxr-xr-x 1 spamass-milter nogroup 0 Jun 1 11:03 spamass.sock


    And...


    Code
    1. server:/var/spool/postfix/spamass# less /etc/group | grep spam
    2. debian-spamd:x:110:


    No spamass-milter user and no usergroup.


    Is it a Plugin-Bug?


    Debian Jessie
    i-MSC 1.4.3
    Plugin ClamAV 1.2.1
    Plugin Mailgraph 1.1.1
    Plugin OpenDKIM 1.1.3

  • No spamass-milter user and no usergroup.

    The bug is in your head ;)


    Shell-Script
    1. nuxwin@srv01:~$ getent passwd spamass-milterspamass-milter:x:117:65534::/var/lib/spamass-milter:/bin/false


    Shell-Script
    1. nuxwin@srv01:~$ getent group nogroupnogroup:x:65534:


    Shell-Script
    1. nuxwin@srv01:~$ lsb_release -a

  • Acha...


    Code
    1. server# getent passwd spamass-milterspamass-milter:x:119:65534::/var/lib/spamass-milter:/bin/false


    Code
    1. server# getent group nogroup
    2. nogroup:x:65534:


    So should i just change the usergroup for "/var/spool/postfix/spamass/spamass.sock" ?

    You should avoid playing without knowning what you're doing.


    There is no spamass-milter group. There is one spamass-milter user for which group is nogroup.


    So please, answer the following questions:

    • Result of the following command (full output): service spamass-milter status
    • Content of the /etc/default/spamass-milter file
    • Content of the /etc/init.d/spamass-milter sysvinit script

    Note that when Postfix executable is here (that should be your case), the spamass-milter socket should be created with postfix user and postfix group:


    Part of /etc/init.d/spamass-milter:


    Shell-Script
    1. ...# If /usr/sbin/postfix exists, set up the defaults for a postfix install# These can be overridden in /etc/default/spamass-milterif [ -x /usr/sbin/postfix ]; then SOCKET="/var/spool/postfix/spamass/spamass.sock" SOCKETOWNER="postfix:postfix" SOCKETMODE="0660"fi;...

    Resulting in:


    Shell-Script
    1. root@srv01:/home/nuxwin# ls -la /var/spool/postfix/spamass/
    2. total 8
    3. drwxr-xr-x 2 spamass-milter root 4096 Jun 6 06:40 .
    4. drwxr-xr-x 21 root root 4096 Jan 18 23:14 ..
    5. srw-rw---- 1 postfix postfix 0 Jun 6 06:40 spamass.sock
    6. root@srv01:/home/nuxwin#

    So again, just answer all my questions above and don't try to do something manually without more thinking.


    Thank you.

  • So, socketowner is "postfix:postfix" like in your example. I have nothing changed in this config.
    I just installed like in the wiki via apt-get and then installed the SA-Plugin....

  • Your spama-milter service is down since 5 days...

    Shell-Script
    1. Active: failed (Result: exit-code) since Thu 2017-06-01 11:03:01 CEST; 5 days ago

    So far, try to start the spamass-milter service and give us the resulting log once after. In order, do the following:

    Shell-Script
    1. # rm /var/spool/postfix/spamass/spamass.sock
    2. # service spamass-milter start
    3. # service spamass-milter status

  • The question is, why has it stopped....


    Code
    1. server:# service spamass-milter startJob for spamass-milter.service failed. See 'systemctl status spamass-milter.service' and 'journalctl -xn' for details.



    Code

    Please, try:


    Shell-Script
    1. # pkill -KILL -f spamass-milter
    2. # rm -f /var/spool/postfix/spamass/spamass.sock
    3. # service spamass-milter start

    Once done, give us the result of: service spamass-milter status
