RE: recipient address is alias

[Robert Wagner]

I ran into some problems starting it from a command line.  Try:

man chkconfig
chkconfig --add spamass-milter
chkconfig --list spamass-milter

Subject: recipient address is alias


I have a problem, if a mail is sent to an address which is an alias.
Here, test is an alias for the existing user spamtest. The following
error message occurs:

Jun  3 13:38:01 orion sendmail[3385]: h53Bc1bP003385: Milter

And the mail is not scanned for spam!!

I start spamass-milter0.1.3a and spamd-2.53 as follows:
su spam -c '/usr/sbin/spamass-milter -p /var/spam/spamass.sock -f -u
spam &'
/usr/sbin/spamd -c -d

Adding the '-u nonrootuser' option to spamd leads to non read/writeable
.spamassassin
files, which of course could be fixed by setting proper group
permissions to all relevant home-directories. But I do not want to do
this.

Spamd dies at once if I add -u root (Bug??), with no valuable log (-D3):
Jun  3 14:23:01 orion.tep.e-technik.tu-muenchen.de spamd[3465]: debug:
daemonized.

The problem is, that I want to run spamd as user root and every mail to
an aliased address has to be scanned with spamd!
Can anybody help me to fix this? 
  
Thanks is advance.

Regards,

Winfried
