Hash: SHA1
I have an email server that uses fetchmail to get the messages from the ISP=
=2E =20
It then drops the mail on the localhost for Postfix to pick up and deliver =
to=20
the user boxes. This all works. Postfix is "listening" on the regular eth=
0=20
port 24 for external email but it is behind a firewall and I don't want it =
on=20
the net. Hence, fetchmail to the localhost port 24.
I enabled SpamAssassin and it is supposed to place a "[SPAM]" tag on the=20
subject line and in the mail, but it doesn't. I am thinking that the=20
spamassassin is configured to filter the mail from the eth0 connection, not=
=20
the localhost.
If my thinking is correct, how do I filter localhost also or instead of eth=
0=20
traffic?
If my thinking is wrong, what am I doing wrong?
BTW, spamd is in the process listing so I know it is running. I have not=20
proven the "eth0 will filter" theory but I assume it will.
