It may be a configuration issue, but there are two of us having stuff labeled as spam that is not getting discarded as it should be. The spam goes to the original recipient and to the quarantine recipient. If it is a configuration issue perhaps the documentation could use a boost? For both of us the old version worked. The URL above gives a link to the gentoo forums. I'd be happy to post my configuration file on request. If requested indicate whether you want the whole thing or just the noncomment lines.

I think where the problem might lie. Unless you caught this annoyance and commented out the following line in amavisd.conf, the setting that gets used for spam mail is D_PASS, because last relevant lines in _ccat section are: # to rely on a default %final_destiny_by_ccat and only change few settings: $final_destiny_by_ccat{CC_SPAM} = D_PASS; $final_destiny_by_ccat{CC_BADH} = D_BOUNCE; $final_destiny_by_ccat{CC_BADH.',2'} = D_PASS; # BadHdr8bit The whole new *_ccat setting block is new, and looks like by default, all example settings are uncommented. Please try commenting out every _ccat setting except one, where you set your desired destiny for categories, and try filtering mail again. If this is indeed the problem, we'll have to modify the config file patch to only include one uncommented final_destiny_by_ccat, set to sane values.
After trying a virgin amavisd-new install on my mail server and plugging it to MTA, it seems to be discarding spam mails just OK. I've commented every occurance of final_*_destiny and final_destiny_by_ccat, except for this one: %final_destiny_by_ccat = ( CC_VIRUS, D_DISCARD, CC_BANNED, D_BOUNCE, CC_UNCHECKED, D_PASS, CC_SPAM, D_DISCARD, CC_BADH, D_PASS, CC_OVERSIZED, D_BOUNCE, CC_CLEAN, D_PASS, CC_CATCHALL, D_PASS, );
Yes that's it! Thanks
Many thanks. A change in the default configuration file should eliminate this problem for people like me who find the configuration file a bit mysterious. After seeing the fix though, it seems that I should have seen this. What a relief to have this resolved!
I'm glad your issue is resolved. I'll definitely change the default config file in this regard. Now, what would you (both of you, and anyone else reading this) propose as a reasonable default? I think my posted version of %final_destiny_by_ccat would do, but I'm looking for another opinion. There is possibility of more fine-grained control for D_BADH (see examples in the configuration file).
I will probably change D_BADH to D_DISCARD, but I don't think this matters much. If all but one section is commented should make things clear. Another way of dealing with this would be to have only one section like this and then have entries such as CC_BADH, D_PASS, # Use one of: D_PASS, D_BOUNCE, D_DISCARD, D_REJECT Or perhaps better just at the top: Say column 2 can be one of ... For column 1, you could explain that adding ".',n'" as in for example, CC_BADH,',4', instead of CC_BADH, will ... (I haven't a clue what this does!) This would cut down on the number of lines in a terribly long configuration file and remove one possible stupid mistake.
Pardon me for bumping in, but I found this bug while searching for a new spam-related problem I'm having with amavisd-new-2.4.0 (which wasn't happening with earlier versions). I've filed it as Bug 131634 - is it possibly related to this one, or is a separate issue entirely? Thanks very much!
Ok, it took a while, but I finally whipped myself to commit amavisd-new-2.4.1, along with saner final destinies in the default config file. BTW, in 2.4.1's sample config file, all %final_destiny_by_ccat examples are commented out, unlike in 2.4.0. Looks like you guys weren't the only people hit by this. :) Anyway, thanks everyone involved!
