I show respect, I did by private bug report, but I get told I need to read
documentation, I am no newby, but alas mailscanner dev think so, so I ask
myself why  waste my time with bug report when not welcome, I have private
mail too by someone who has similar problem, they say run slackware, we run
debian, he think it because  run latest perl modules. but why I care now
after mailscanner dev response. my 5 yo son could tell the answers from
amavisd is different to what mailscanner be.

So sorry for wasting my time, wont report bugs anymore here

I am wondering if something was lost in the translation here. Clearly
English is not your native tongue and you might well have misinterpreted his
attitude. You must also realize that Julian gets/answers thousands of mails
in a week and a very large number are simple configuration errors. Plus if
you upgraded SA and MS did not change then the issue is likely permissions
or configuration. Personally I would be looking to see if the local.cf link
is correct as this could explain why MS is skipping network tests and
amavisd is not. there should be a link between /etc/mail/spamassassin/local.
cf and /opt/MailScanner/etc/spam.assassin.prefs.conf. Also check your MS
config setting for "SpamAssassin Default Rules Dir", "SpamAssassin Local
Rules Dir" and "SpamAssassin Site Rules Dir". Clearly if MS skips some tests
that the others do not they must not be using the same rules.

Also bear in mind your English is so broken it's hard to follow. Of course
the only way I could possibly write to you in your native tongue would be to
run it through babblefish and I can tell you from experience that what you
enter there many times loses much in the translation, you might have a very
hard time understanding me and certainly have issues with context and
meaning.

Hello,
Did you even read my report?

I state it work with spamassassin directly, it work with amavisd, it work
with mailscanner until SA upgrade. so very obviously SA works as all read
/etc/postfix/spamassassin/*, just not properly with mailscanner anymore, do
you treat everyone like this and dismiss out of hand without reading or
comprehend what said or investigate? 

and yes /etc/postfix is symlink to /etc/mail, else amavisd would not work.

If it is not doing the tests, then you have not enabled them in the
/etc/mail/spamassassin/v*.pre files.
This is not a MailScanner problem, I suggest you read the SA documentation.

BUG REPORT

MailScanner does not do many SpamAssassin tests, this is local rules and

URI tests, eg: .multi.uribl.com and all others

Problem only notice after upgrade SA 3.2.5 to 3.3.0. MailScanner work fine

for many month with same configuration even from last version which also has

this problem. In testing we even remove all the whitelists.

MailScanner-4.79.11-1 source install

SpamAssassin 3.3.0 from CPAN

Perl Modules - all required installed and update from CPAN

MailScanner and SpamAssassin both --lint OK

MailScanner run as user postfix

amavisd-new run as user vscan

/etc/postfix/spamassasin owner is root directory is 0755

Unreproducable by spamassasin -t < queue file

Unreproducable by amavisd-new

both of these tests score as expected.

Monitor of Bind show MailScanner does not ask URI questions

also scan real fast and not asking Razor or DCC

Using MailScanner and amavisd-new together, MailScanner take message

first before amavisd-new.

MailScanner say-

X-YUKI-MailScanner-SpamCheck: not spam, SpamAssassin (not cached, score=0,

required 3, autolearn=disabled)

amavisd-new say-

X-Virus-Scanned: amavisd-new at YUKI

X-Spam-Flag: NO

X-Spam-Score: 1.313

X-Spam-Level: *

X-Spam-Status: No, score=1.313 tagged_above=-999 required=3

tests=[URI_HEX=1.313] autolearn=disabled
