Postfix+ClamAV+Spamassassin


Postfix was working well ON DEBIAN 6.0.1 untill I didn't make some changes in config file.
I did install a clamAV for my postfix:
Code:
apt-get install clamav clamav-freshclam clamsmtp
ClamAV config file:
Code:
: 
root@karolis:/home/karolis# cat /etc/clamsmtpd.conf 
# ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#                        SAMPLE CLAMSMTPD CONFIG FILE
# ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# 
# - Comments are a line that starts with a #
# - All the options are found below with their defaults commented out
# The address to send scanned mail to. 
# This option is required unless TransparentProxy is enabled
OutAddress: 10026
# The maximum number of connection allowed at once.
# Be sure that clamd can also handle this many connections
#MaxConnections: 64
# Amount of time (in seconds) to wait on network IO
#TimeOut: 180
# Address to listen on (defaults to all local addresses on port 10025)
Listen: 127.0.0.1:10025
# The address clamd is listening on
ClamAddress: /var/run/clamav/clamd.ctl
# A header to add to all scanned email
#Header: X-AV-Checked: ClamAV using ClamSMTP
# Directory for temporary files
TempDirectory: /var/spool/clamsmtp
# PidFile: location of PID file
PidFile: /var/run/clamsmtp/clamsmtpd.pid
# Whether or not to bounce email (default is to silently drop)
#Bounce: off
# Whether or not to keep virus files 
#Quarantine: off
# Enable transparent proxy support 
#TransparentProxy: off
# User to run as
User: clamsmtp
# Virus actions: There's an option to run a script every time a 
# virus is found. Read the man page for clamsmtpd.conf for details.
ClamAV does not give any errors and it's working well.
When i wrote a few lines to postfix config file to enable clamAV and it was still working well! But after I wrote a few lines to this config for the reason to enable my spamassassin it gives me an error: Could not connect to mydomain.com Connection refused.
And now i see that postfix is not started
mail.log says:
Code:
May 18 05:30:22 imone postfix/master[2381]: fatal: /etc/postfix/master.cf: line 112: bad transport type: smtp_send_xforward_command=yes

I was following these tutorials to set up clamav and spamassassin, and now postfix server can not start:

Everything was working well untill I did not setup a spamassassin settings in postfix config file, but error talks about clamav settings!
Suggestions?
Thank you so much!

It looks like Postfix doesn't like the command: smtp_send_xforward_command. According to the Postfix documentation (here) the command is valid in Postfix 2.1 or later.

The only thing I see in your main.cf is that your options (-o smtp_send_xforward_command=yes and the following lines) is that they do not start with whitespace. Given that Postfix thinks that smtp_send_xforward_command is being used as a transport type, and not an option, tells me that it isn't seeing the line as a continuation of the transport command on the line above. Consequently, I would try putting a tab or space in front of these and restart Postfix. I am not sure of the syntax of master.cf but I would also recommend double checking that too.

I removed this one
Code:
-o content_filter=spamassassin
from master.cf config in 11 line and this one
Code:
spamassassin
unix - n n - - pipe
flags=R
user=spamd
argv=/usr/bin/spamc
-e /usr/sbin/sendmail
-oi -f ${sender} ${recipien
from the bottom of this file too.
And I made a white space (with tab) how you said before all -o functions.
Now it works how I want! thanks a lot!

I am glad that you got it working. If you haven't yet, be sure to test that spamassassin is working by sending a message with the GTUBE string. There will be copies of it either in the spamassassin doc folders or just Google for the term GTUBE. With this string, the message should be flagged with a score of about 1000 and handles accordingly.

Mail server is working only in my network yet, but how I understand I need to send an mail with GTUBE string which is a:
Code:
XJS*C4JDBQADN1.NSBN3*2IDNEN*GTUBE-STANDARD-ANTI-UBE-TEST-EMAIL*C.34X
So I send it and spamassassin says that spam detected with 999 points so it's working well?
Thanks!

Yes, that indicates that spamassassin is working and is scanning your mail. For most of your mail, you probably won't even see any SA (spamassassin) headers inserted, so this is a good way to test that it is functioning. There are a couple of parameters that you may need or want to tweak as you gain run time with SA. These are the detect and kill levels which are the score points at which SA will take action: inserting spam headers and rejecting or discarding the message. My advice would be to set the action to discard. This will cause the mail to go to your quarantine directory. You don't want to set it to bounce as this only adds to the spam problem and undoubtedly hits the wrong target. If you set an address for spam admin, you will get notification that messages have been placed in there, which is annoying after a while but good at first. Another option would be to set up a filter in your MUA (thunderbird, evolution, outlook, etc) that puts them in a spam folder when a tag has been added to the headers. You may also want to save spam messages that make it through the filter and then introduce them to SA using the sa learn script to teach it that they are spam.
