Spamassasin on Woody - standard install using spamc fails??

[Peter Sebastian Masny <ps-list@masny.dk>]

Hi all,

I have a working woody mailserver with postfix and procmail

I wanted to try spamassassin tagging and did the following:

apt-get install spamassassin librazor-perl
enable spamd in /etc/default/spamassassin
/etc/init.d/spamassasin restart

then in my user .procmailrc I added

:0fw
|/usr/bin/spamc


However, spamc gets stuck.  The promail log reads:

> procmail: [22511] Mon Apr 12 13:06:56 2004
> procmail: Executing "/usr/bin/spamc"

and no more.  About 15 minutes later the following is added to the 
procmail log

> [22511] Mon Apr 12 13:22:56 2004
> procmail: Timeout, terminating "/usr/bin/spamc"
> procmail: [22511] Mon Apr 12 13:22:56 2004
> procmail: Rescue of unfiltered data succeeded

after which procmail proceeds normally

The only thing in the syslog is:

> Apr 12 13:29:23 fsh5 spamd[22065]: server killed by SIGTERM, shutting down
> Apr 12 13:29:23 fsh5 spamd[22514]: server killed by SIGTERM, shutting down
> Apr 12 13:29:40 fsh5 spamd[22664]: server started on port 783

Anyone have an idea what is going on?

Peter
