Configuring and using DSPAM

I saw that there was a request the other day for using DSPAM with Zimbra. I am not done yet, but I have it working at this point. Here are the steps I took:

Download and decompress DSPAM

Note, everything I am doing here, I do as the user zimbra. If I need super user, I use sudo.

The configuration options I used were:

Code:

---

./configure \
    --prefix=/opt/dspam \
    --sysconfdir=/opt/dspam/conf \
    --with-dspam-home=/var/dspam \
    --with-dspam-home-mode=2770 \
    --with-dspam-home-owner=zimbra \
    --with-dspam-home-group=zimbra \
    --with-storage-driver=mysql_drv \
    --enable-preferences-extension \
    --with-mysql-includes=/usr/include/mysql \
    --with-mysql-libraries=/usr/lib/mysql \
    --enable-signature-headers \
    --without-delivery-agent \
    --without-quarantine-agent \
    --with-dspam-owner=zimbra \
    --with-dspam-group=zimbra

make
(as root) make install

---

After this login as the zimbra user. Make sure that MySQL is running. Then create a new table for DSPAM related info:

Code:

---

mysqladmin create dspam

---

After that load the schema for the dspam tables

Code:

---

mysql dspam < ~/dspam-3.6.1/src/tools.mysql_drv/mysql_objects-4.1.sql

---

We don't want to use the same user that we use for zimbra for dspam for the database. So create a new user:

Code:

---

mysql
grant all on dspam.* to dspam@localhost identified by 'ThisIsMyPassword';

---

(Obviously change your password)

Inside of your dspam.conf add the following lines (they are commented out be default)

Code:

---

MySQLServer        /opt/zimbra/db/mysql.sock
MySQLPort                        7306
MySQLUser          dspam
MySQLPass          ThisIsMyPassword
MySQLDb            dspam

---

Now we have to tell amavisd-new (which serves as a pipeline for various steps proccessing email before zimbra's java code sees emails) to enable dspam Search for the $path and $dspam variables and replace them.

To make things a bit tricky, dspam uses auto-generated files, so modify the file amavisd.conf.in rather then amavisd.conf.

Code:

---

$path = '/opt/zimbra/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/bin:/opt/dspam/bin';
$dspam = 'dspam';

---

I suggest you run amavisd once by hand with the debug options to make sure everything works:

Code:

---

/opt/zimbra/amavisd/sbin/amavisd -c /opt/zimbra/conf/amavisd.conf debug

---

And if everything is happy you should see lines like:

Code:

---


/opt/zimbra/amavisd/sbin/amavisd -c /opt/zimbra/conf/amavisd.conf debug

That should get you to where both DSPAM and SpamAssassin check for spams.

Later once DSPAM's own database has been built up, I suggest that you add the following lines to one of SpamAssassin's rule files (salocal.cf?) to filter out mail that DSPAM thinks is bogus:

Code:

---

    header DSPAM_SPAM X-DSPAM-Result =~ /^Spam$/
    describe DSPAM_SPAM DSPAM claims it is spam
    score DSPAM_SPAM 0.5
 
    header DSPAM_HAM X-DSPAM-Result =~ /^Innocent$/
    describe DSPAM_HAM DSPAM claims it is ham
    score DSPAM_HAM -0.1

---

Anyways, what I write here is my own, with the exceptions that I lifted off of the amavis-new list, esp this message: http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/m...sg_id=11025890

This works for me so far, filtering seems to work, and seems to be effective. I will post about training as soon as I have finished up doing it.

Hi

Yes, I was asking about DSPAM a while back but haven't had much chance to do anything with it (Linux is still a bit of confusion for me).

Is this installed with the latest M2 release of Zimbra? I've just installed that so I'll give your instructions a run later today. Many thanks for the details. :)

Regards

Bill

Yes. This is on top of M2. I am still working out how to automatically train on the junk mail folder, so watch for that.

Hi

I've just managed to get this installed and working, however, a question arises. For the build of DSPAM should I be logged in as root or the Zimbra user? I assumed it was root but after a few fruitless attempts with restarting Zimbra and DPSAM not starting I found that the dspam executable and .conf files belonged to the group 'mail' (everything else belonged to root) and weren't being executed. When I changed the group to zimbra on those files DPSAM came up without problems, all the instructions were cut/paste so I didn't make any typos. Any thoughts on that?

Nice clear instructions BTW. :)

NEVER never never never never never run anything perl as root if you can possibly avoid it. DSPAM Is mostly perl, so try and avoid it if possible.

And yes, you should be logged in as zimbra for everything. Sorry about not stating that more explicitly.

Hi

Thanks for that info, unfortunately it raises more questions from me.

I followed the instructions and everything gets created OK. The /var/dspam with an owner/group of 'zimbra' but the /opt/dspam still gets created with an owner/group of 'root' with the dspam executable & dspam.conf file having a group of 'mail'. With those settings dspam isn't recognised and, as I said in an earlier post, if I change the group setting for dspam executable and conf file to 'zimbra' it works fine. Obviously if I configure dspam with "--with-dspam-owner=zimbra --with-dspam-group=zimbra" they get created successfully.

So I suppose the questions are: should I be getting the root/mail owner by default?; should I use the configure options to set them as zimbra; am I doing something wrong with this configure?

I must say that once I change the two group owners then DSPAM gets recognised by Zimbra. Many thanks for your help.

Erk. Oversight on my part. Because I had nothing else in /opt (and it didn't exist) /opt was created with zimbra as the owner, so I didn't need to sudo. You are absolutly correct. The owner of these files must be zimbra. I will fix the above.

OK, many thanks. :) I did think I was going slightly mad at one stage today. :D

Tried this on a Zimbra2 server on CentOS,

when running the configure command,

configure: error: required include path for mysql headers /usr/include/mysql is not a directory

so I tried just making an empty directory at /usr/include/mysql

then run the configure command again,

get this error
configure: error: Required version of libmysqlclient not found

Anyone have info on installing Zimbra/Dspam onto a CentOS (RHEL) Server?

Thanks

Hi

Yes, I use CentOS 4.2 - the obvious questions are: do you have mysql installed and what does a 'whereis mysql' (no quotes) return. ;)
