65629 2004-09-27 21:35 0000 DSpam lacks Sendmail as delivery agent options 2004-10-16 10:07:17 0000 1 1 1 Unclassified Gentoo Linux Ebuilds unspecified All Linux RESOLVED FIXED P2 minor --- 1 simontsang@unimax.com.hk st_lim@gentoo.org simontsang@unimax.com.hk 2004-09-27 21:35:16 0000 I emerged DSpam with all use flag disabled. But it defaults to use procmail as the delivery agent which I have never specificed. Under the src_compile section in dspam-3.1.2.ebuild, I found that the code: if use cyrus; then agent="/usr/lib/cyrus/deliver %u" elif use exim; then agent="/usr/sbin/exim -oMr spam-scanned" elif use maildrop; then agent="/usr/bin/maildrop -d %u" elif use procmail; then agent="/usr/bin/procmail" fi does not have a default value. It would be a good idea to add /usr/bin/sendmail as another (or default) agent. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. USE="-cyrus -debug -exim -maildrop -mysql -neural -oci8 -postgres -procmail" emerge -v dspam 2. 3. Actual Results: DSpam tried to use procmail as delivery agent. Expected Results: It should use sendmail as delivery agent. mallchin@blueyonder.co.uk 2004-10-13 06:21:28 0000 This is configurable in /etc/mail/dspam/dspam.conf too. You may set the TrustedDeliveryAgent, UnTrustedDeliveryAgent and QuarantineAgent I believe. st_lim@gentoo.org 2004-10-13 22:35:05 0000 Not sure how to include sendmail as an option. The idea of dspam is that you should just use an MDA to deliver, so I do not see how sendmail can relate to dspam other than let you bounce mails around the place... simontsang@unimax.com.hk 2004-10-13 23:28:48 0000 Martin Allchin: Thanks for the information. However, I think it is a good idea to have sendmail as the default option because people who don't use maildrop or procmail are very likely to use a sendmail compatiable MDA, such as Postfix. Lim Swee Tat: It is very simple to have sendmail as the default option. if use cyrus; then agent="/usr/lib/cyrus/deliver %u" elif use exim; then agent="/usr/sbin/exim -oMr spam-scanned" elif use maildrop; then agent="/usr/bin/maildrop -d %u" elif use procmail; then agent="/usr/bin/procmail" else agent="/usr/sbin/sendmail" fi If you use Postfix or sendmail without any additional MDA, you would need to set agent="/usr/sbin/sendmail". david@dawninglight.net 2004-10-15 06:07:06 0000 Also, the USE flag courier doesn't show up when doing emerge dspam -pv. The Courier-MTA package installs maildrop, so there should be a section like this: elif use courier; then agent="/usr/bin/maildrop -d %u" I see further down in the ebuild that it checks for a courier use flag, but it's not in the list at the top. st_lim@gentoo.org 2004-10-16 10:07:17 0000 Hi David and Simon, Thanks for the feedback. I'll be updating the existing ebuilds. Hopefully, we should see the pr1 in tonight. Regards Lim Swee Tat
