      @fbartels perhaps you have a idea here. As you can see in the post before that my inotify-spamlearn is running.
      If i try to mark a mail as spam in the webapp dashboard then i got the following output:

      Jan 01 16:35:56 server inotify-spamlearn.py[1367]: INFO Inotify learning started

      There is a path ~/.spamassassin which has amongst other things these file included:

      root@system:~/.spamassassin# ls
user_prefs

      But under /dev is null a file and not a directory

      root@system:/dev# cd null
-bash: cd: null: Not a directory

      Best Regards

        Hi @BMWfan

        I think this is because the default home of the kopano user is /dev/null (you can check your /etc/passwd) and inotify-spamlearn is running as kopano user. It seems like ~/.spamassassin/ (where ~/ is the home directory of the kopano user - /dev/null) is the default directory used by the sa-learn command. You can specify the paths used by the sa-learn command in inotify-spamlearn.cfg or run inotify-spamlearn as different user (set in the systemd unit file).

        Regards
        Patrick

          @ashceryth thanks for your response. I’am thinking about it what would be the best choice todo.
          I’am not sure if it would help and would be good if i assign the kopano user a home directory, because /dev/null is standard if you dont set once i think. What have you done to get it work?

          For kopano-spamd i assigned already kopano to the amavis group

          gpasswd -a kopano amavis

            I suggest to try to run inotify-spamlearn as the same user as amavis runs as.

            So, edit the systemd unit file (/etc/systemd/system/inotify-spamlearn.service) and set:

            User=amavis
Group=amavis

            Run systemctl daemon-reload after editing and restart the service with systemctl restart inotify-spamlearn.

            Check your spamd.cfg to make sure it uses the amavis group (the .eml files should then get the gid of the amavis group):

            sa_group = amavis

            Does it work then?

            I don’t use the sa-learn command. I use Rspamd and let inotify-spamlearn send the mails via HTTP post requests with curl.

              @ashceryth said in Define ham and spam for spamassassin:

              systemctl restart inotify-spamlearn

              No, this solves it not. The problem is after i change the sa_group at /etc/kopano/spamd.cfg to amavis then i get permission errors in the kopano-spamd process as here described: Kopano spamd error - PermissionError: [Errno 1] Operation not permitted

              My configuration is now this:
              /etc/kopano/spamd.cfg

              # run as specific user
run_as_user         = kopano

# run as specific group
run_as_group        = kopano

# Spamassassin group
sa_group = kopano

              /etc/systemd/system/inotify-spamlearn.service

              [Service]
User=kopano
Group=kopano

              but then again with this log entries:

                Maybe because the problem described by @fbartels in this post insn’t solved for you yet?

                Who is the owner/group and what are the permissions of the files in /var/lib/kopano/spamd/spam/ (just ls -la)?

                And please test the sa-learn command manually as the desired user before configuring it with inotify-spamlearn to see if everything works as expected.

                    Well, at the moment your spam folder is empty. Normally the .eml files get deleted after learning by inotify-spamlearn. However, according to your log from above it wasn’t possible to remove them because of permission issues:

                    @BMWfan said in Define ham and spam for spamassassin:

                    Jan 12 16:21:00 Servername inotify-spamlearn.py[7501]:   File "/usr/local/sbin/inotify-spamlearn.py", line 43, in process

                    That’s why I’m asking. Would be interesting to see the permissions of the .eml files themselves.

                        The reason for the permission error messages is that your spam directory is not writable for the group. Without write permissions the .eml files cannot be removed by inotify-spamlearn running as amavis (member of kopano group).

                        Just run chmod g+w /var/lib/kopano/spamd/spam as well as chmod g+w /var/lib/kopano/spamd/ham and it should be working.

                        P.S. Having the .eml files world read and writable seems no to be optimal :-)

                          @ashceryth but inotify-spamlearn removes them already. I stopped only the process thats why i could send you the commandline output.

                            Hm, that’s strange. The log messages indicate that the files can’t be removed. Are you sure inotify-spamlearn is currently running as amavis? Are you still getting the errors?

                              @ashceryth sorry. You are right. I’ve executed now the two suggested lines.

chmod g+w /var/lib/kopano/spamd/ham

                              I want to let inotify-spamlearn log into the /var/log/kopano/spamd.log file, that’s why i changed in /etc/kopano/inotify-spamlearn.cfg this line:

                              # empty means log to console, use journalctl to read the logs when run from systemd service
logfile = /var/log/kopano/spamd.log

                              I put amavis in the kopano group with gpasswd -a amavis kopano but it’s still not functioning:

                              Jan 15 18:54:19 server inotify-spamlearn.py[20669]: PermissionError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/var/log/kopano/spamd.log'

                                Hi

                                @BMWfan said in Define ham and spam for spamassassin:

                                cd /var/lib/
chmod -R 777 spamassassin

                                Every time you do this a puppy dies. In my humble opinion setting permissions to 777 is an absolute no-no. Your command makes the directory and everything below world read and writable. Are you sure you want that? :-)

                                do you have a idea how i could fix this?

                                The group has no write permission on the log file.

                                chmod g+w spamd.log

                                  @ashceryth thanks for your help and your honestly opinion.
                                  now, the inotifty-spamlearn log entries are in the /var/log/kopano/spamd.log

                                  I checked the rights before i set chmod 777:

                                  /var/lib/spamassassin# ls -la
total 24
drwxr-xr-x  6 debian-spamd debian-spamd 4096 Jan  8 20:05 .

                                  I set now all rights back to this ^^.
                                  How and where could i set the permission that a file like in this example called bayes.lock.server.server.de.19887 under /var/lib/spamassassin/ has to be created by a user (amavis) which is in the same group but not the owner of this folder in which the file has to be created? I think the name of the file is dynamic assigned why i can not create a file via touch and assign this file the needed rights.

                                    Hi @BMWfan

                                    The directory is owned by user and group debian-spamd. As I am not using Amavis/SpamAssassin I cannot check myself - but is user amavis member of group debian-spamd? If that’s the case you just have to fix the group permissions. However, I suggest not to mess too much with permissions.

                                      Took a while to figure out the right settings for my debian9 …
                                      But now all works as expected.

                                      My config for inotify-spamlearn:

                                      in /etc/systemd/inotify-spamlearn.service set

                                      run_as_group = amavis

                                      now set the rights for spam and ham folders

                                      chown -R kopano:amavis /var/lib/kopano/spamd

                                      and in order to delete the learned mails it’s neccessary that group amavis has the rights to delete the learned mails

                                      chmod g+w /var/lib/kopano/spamd/spam
chmod g+w /var/lib/kopano/spamd/ham

                                      finally we need to reload the daemons for systemctl

                                      systemctl daemons-reload

                                      and restart the service inotify-spamlearn

                                      systemctl restart inotify-spamlearn

                                      that’s all ;)

                                        Thank you for the info.

                                        chown -R kopano:amavis /var/lib/kopano/spamd
                                        and
                                        chmod g+w /var/lib/kopano/spamd/spam
                                        chmod g+w /var/lib/kopano/spamd/ham

                                        in one liner :
                                        install -o kopano -g amavis -m 2770 -d /var/lib/kopano/spamd -d /var/lib/kopano/spamd/spam -d /var/lib/kopano/spamd/ham

                                        Does the “World” need read access in the spamd folder ?
