Hi,
I guess that I'm not the only one getting a lot of spam in my mailboxes.
I read about the "rules du jour" method to complement spamassassin and I was wondering if I implemented it in the right way.
I followed this wiki:

Howtos Spam Assassin Rules Du Jour Configuration
From 5dollarwhitebox.org Media Wiki
Jump to: navigation, search

This is the basics on how to install and configure Rules Du Jour for Spam Assassin:

Code:

install_rdj.pl: http://devel.5dollarwhitebox.org/scripts/install_rdj.pl

Code:

linuxbox #] wget http://devel.5dollarwhitebox.org/scripts/install_rdj.pl

linuxbox #] perl install_rdj.pl --install

Get Rules Du Jour:

Code:

linuxbox] # wget http://sandgnat.com/rdj/rules_du_jour

linuxbox] # mv rules_du_jour /usr/local/sbin/rules_du_jour

linuxbox] # chmod 750 /usr/local/sbin/rules_du_jour

Configure Rules Du Jour

Code:

linuxbox] # mkdir /etc/rulesdujour

linuxbox] # vi /etc/rulesdujour/config

The following is a basic configuration for Rules Du Jour

Code:

SA_DIR="/opt/zimbra/conf/spamassassin"
MAIL_ADDRESS="root"
SINGLE_EMAIL_ONLY="true";
SA_RESTART="/etc/init.d/psa-spamassassin restart"
TRUSTED_RULESETS="
        TRIPWIRE
        ANTIDRUG
        SARE_EVILNUMBERS0
        RANDOMVAL
        SARE_ADULT
        SARE_FRAUD
        SARE_BML
        SARE_SPOOF
        SARE_BAYES_POISON_NXM
        SARE_OEM
        SARE_RANDOM
        SARE_OBFU0
        SARE_SPAMCOP_TOP200
        "

Run Rules Du Jour

Code:

linuxbox] # rules_du_jour

Crontab it

run

'crontab -e -u root' and add something similar to the following:

Code:

1 1 * * * /usr/local/sbin/rules_du_jour 2&>1 > /dev/null

Do I have to do something differently to make it work with zimbra. I did this and it worked, but I don't know if it does actually the job.
Thanks!
