Testing the Plugin

a. If you haven't done it yet, launch the plugin: $ /etc/rc.d/init.d/spamfilter start b. Send a message through a program using Sendmail. c. Become root and do: $ cat /var/log/maillog | grep <date and time> e.g. $ cat /var/log/maillog | grep 'Oct 16 12:' to list messages logged on Oct 16 after 12:00. d. If you see something like this without errors, then plugin is working: During startup: Oct 21 18:13:13 dev12 MailShellSendmailSpamFilter[22386]: Starting MailShellSendmailSpamFilter Oct 21 18:13:13 dev12 MailShellSendmailSpamFilter[22386]: Running as user ' spamfilter ' Oct 21 18:13:13 dev12 MailShellSendmailSpamFilter[22386]: UserName = 'spamfilter' Oct 21 18:13:13 dev12 MailShellSendmailSpamFilter[22386]: Conn = 'local:/etc/spamfilter/spamfilter.sock' Oct 21 18:13:13 dev12 MailShellSendmailSpamFilter[22386]: SpamThreshold = 90 Oct 21 18:13:13 dev12 MailShellSendmailSpamFilter[22386]: RejectionThreshold = 0 Oct 21 18:13:13 dev12 MailShellSendmailSpamFilter[22386]: SendmailPluginConfDir = '/etc/spamfilter' Oct 21 18:13:13 dev12 MailShellSendmailSpamFilter[22386]: MtaHostCheck = 0 Oct 21 18:13:13 dev12 MailShellSendmailSpamFilter[22386]: SenderAddressCheck = 0 Oct 21 18:13:13 dev12 MailShellSendmailSpamFilter[22386]: SenderAddressSpamOffset = 50 Oct 21 18:13:13 dev12 MailShellSendmailSpamFilter[22386]: RejectIfSndrNotVerified = 0 Oct 21 18:13:13 dev12 MailShellSendmailSpamFilter[22386]: ExtensionCheck = 0 Oct 21 18:13:13 dev12 MailShellSendmailSpamFilter[22386]: RejectIfTooManyRcpts = 0 Oct 21 18:13:13 dev12 MailShellSendmailSpamFilter[22386]: TagMessageIfSpam = 1 Oct 21 18:13:13 dev12 MailShellSendmailSpamFilter[22386]: Hostname: 'dev12.maildir.com' Oct 21 18:13:13 dev12 MailShellSendmailSpamFilter[22386]: Mailshell SpamCatcher engine is initializing......
