how can i tell if razor/pyrzor are functioning?

[rabettle]

So I installed razor/pyzor working off various threads I read on here and I didn't see any errors during that process.

How can I tell if it is working though?

X-Virus-Scanned: amavisd-new at zimfe6.technitos.com
X-Spam-Flag: NO
X-Spam-Score: 0.702
X-Spam-Level: 
X-Spam-Status: No, score=0.702 tagged_above=-10 required=6.6
	tests=[BAYES_50=0.8, DKIM_SIGNED=0.1, DKIM_VALID=-0.1,
	DKIM_VALID_AU=-0.1, FREEMAIL_FROM=0.001, HTML_MESSAGE=0.001,
	RCVD_IN_DNSWL_NONE=-0.0001, T_RP_MATCHES_RCVD=-0.01,
	T_TO_NO_BRKTS_FREEMAIL=0.01] autolearn=ham

Aren't I supposed to see a razor/pyzor result in there? Any ideas why I don't? the lines are uncommented in the 310.pre file etc.

anyone have any advice?

When Amavis starts, it populates /var/log/zimbra.log with all of the tools it uses to check emails. If Razor, Pyzor etc. are configured correctly, they will show up here.

You can safely restart Amavis without restarting all of Zimbra by running as the zimbra user:

zmamavisdctl restart

If you first open up a second terminal window and run as root:

tail -f /var/log/zimbra.log

you will be able to see Amavis starting in real time.

Hope that helps,

well, it is loading razor but not pyzor. razor is still absent from the headers too.

i'll have to do some more digging.

It may also help to increase the logging level in Amavis from the Zimbra-set "1" to "2". You can do this by editing as root the following line in /opt/zimbra/conf/amavisd.conf.in and then restarting Amavis.

mail2:~ # cat /opt/zimbra/conf/amavisd.conf.in | grep "log_level ="
$log_level = 2;              # verbosity 0..5 - 1 is the minimum for msg tracing
mail2:~ #

Note that this file is set to be read-only, so to edit the file you'll need to change the file's permissions first (via the "chmod" command), edit the file, and then (ideally) set the permissions back the way they were before you started.

Increasing the logging level to 2 we have found helps answer the question "Why was that email marked as spam?" In /var/log/zimbra.log, Amavis will no report every specific test that added to the score of an email, as well as by how much, like so:

Feb  3 10:55:27 mail2 amavis[25278]: (25278-06) SPAM-TAG, <spammer@example.net> -> <legitimate_user@legitimate_domain.com>, Yes, score=6.862 tagged_above=-10 required=5 tests=[BAYES_50=0.8, DKIM_SIGNED=0.1, HTML_IMAGE_RATIO_02=0.437, HTML_MESSAGE=0.001, MIME_HTML_ONLY=0.723, RCVD_IN_BRBL_LASTEXT=1.449, SPF_PASS=-0.001, T_DKIM_INVALID=0.01, T_REMOTE_IMAGE=0.01, T_RP_MATCHES_RCVD=-0.01, T_URIBL_BLACK_OVERLAP=0.01, URIBL_BLACK=1.725, URIBL_WS_SURBL=1.608] autolearn=no
