Amavisd question

[Alan Davies via amavis-users]

Hi Benedict,

I've checked my spam destination settings and grep output, without comments is as follows:

[root at spam log]# grep --ignore-case quarantine /etc/amavisd.conf | grep -v '#'
$QUARANTINEDIR = "/var/virusmails";
 $bad_header_quarantine_method = D_DISCARD;
    "-a s --timeout=60 --temp=$TEMPBASE -y $QUARANTINEDIR ".  <<< (this is under virus scanners)

I haven't specified any of the other options for bad header quarantine method, etc. 

Should I defined these explicitly? 

Kind Regards,
Alan Davies

Are there any quarantine options that I may be able to tweak here?

A grep quarantine amavisd.conf will return all lines with quarantine in it, so that we can confirm where the quarantine is for spam. 
For example my spam quarantine line looks like:

$spam_quarantine_method         = 'sql:';

Yours should be a valid quarantine, and if it's sql you should have a DSN for it, I use the same as lookup_dsn so mine looks like:

@lookup_sql_dsn = ( ['DBI:mysql:Amavisd:localhost', 'DBUSer', 'DBPassword] ); @storage_sql_dsn = @lookup_sql_dsn;

>I can append some log output if need be.

Hopefully the problem will get fixed without it.... 



Kindest regards,
