General Improvements

Add razor, dcc and pyzor

Step 1) Add atomic channel:

 wget -q -O - http://www.atomicorp.com/installers/atomic.sh |sh

Step 2) Add razor, dcc, pyzor

 yum install razor-agents dcc pyzor

Step 3) Restart spamassassin

 /etc/init.d/spamassassin restart


Force spamassassin to scan messages from localhost, when using qmail-scanner

 vi /etc/xinetd.d/smtp_psa
service smtp
{
       socket_type     = stream
       protocol        = tcp
       wait            = no
       disable         = no
       user            = root
       instances       = UNLIMITED
       env             = QS_SPAMASSASSIN="on"
       server          = /var/qmail/bin/tcp-env
       server_args     = /usr/sbin/rblsmtpd -r sbl-xbl.spamhaus.org /var/qmail/bin/relaylock /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd /var/qmail/bin/smtp_auth /var/qmail/bin/true /var/qmail/bin/cmd5checkpw /var/qmail/bin/true
}


Mysql settings for whitelisting

INSERT INTO userpref (username,preference,value) VALUES ('%tsginc.com','whitelist_from','*domain.com');
INSERT INTO userpref (username,preference,value) VALUES ('%tsginc.com','whitelist_from','*@domain.com');


Limiting Load

Add max_load to /etc/xinetd.d/smtp_psa. SMTP will throttle connections when load reaches a certain point. The per_source flag will limit the maximum number of concurrent connections from a single IP.

service smtp
{
       socket_type     = stream
       protocol        = tcp
       wait            = no
       disable         = no
       user            = root
       max_load        = 5
       per_source      = 2
       instances       = UNLIMITED
       env             = QS_SPAMASSASSIN="on"
       server          = /var/qmail/bin/tcp-env
       server_args     = /usr/sbin/rblsmtpd -r sbl-xbl.spamhaus.org /var/qmail/bin/relaylock /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd /var/qmail/bin/smtp_auth /var/qmail/bin/true /var/qmail/bin/cmd5checkpw /var/qmail/bin/true
}

Updating spamassassin rules and signatures

1. Import the GP keys of the rule repositories (spamassassin and the SARE rules):

Run these commands as root once to setup the system:

 wget http://spamassassin.apache.org/updates/GPG.KEY
 sa-update --import GPG.KEY
 gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys BDE9DC10
 gpg --armor -o pub.gpg --export BDE9DC10
 sa-update --import pub.gpg 

2. Run the rule updater

 sa-update --allowplugins --gpgkey D1C035168C1EBC08464946DA258CDB3ABDE9DC10 --channel saupdates.openprotect.com --channel updates.spamassassin.org

3. (Optional) Compile the rules to make spamassassin rule faster

 mkdir /root/tmp
 TMP=/root/tmp
 export TMP
 TMPDIR=$TMP
 export TMPDIR
 /usr/bin/sa-compile

4. Restart spamassassin

/etc/init.d/spamassassin condrestart

5. (Optional) Setup spamassassin updates in your root crontab

 crontab -e

Then add this line:

 10      4       *       *       *       sa-update --allowplugins --gpgkey D1C035168C1EBC08464946DA258CDB3ABDE9DC10 --channel saupdates.openprotect.com --channel updates.spamassassin.org && TMP=/root/tmp; export TMP; TMPDIR=$TMP; export TMPDIR; /usr/bin/sa-compile &&  /etc/init.d/spamassassin condrestart 1> /dev/null
