Kopano spamd error - PermissionError: [Errno 1] Operation not permitted

fbartels

@cblaha this is not what the documentation tells you. Additionally I am not sure if spamd uses sudo at all.

cblaha

@fbartels: So, i don’t understand the documentation. Must i add the user to the group amavis?

fbartels

kopano-spamd by default runs in the user context of the user kopano (as defined by run_as_user and run_as_group). To succesfully run sa-learn make sure that the provided user is both part of the amavis group (so spamassasin can process the item), as well as local_admin_user within Kopano (so kopano-spamd has access to the users mailboxes).

Yes, you could add the Kopano user to the amavis group.

cblaha

I am so desperate. This is my /etc/group

amavis:x:116:clamav,kopano
kopano:x:996:kapi,konnect,amavis,spamassassin
spamassassin:x:1007:kopano
spamd:x:5555:spamassassin,kopano

The Logfile always shows:

Whats wrong with my configuration?

fbartels

Using the default configuration? Would need to check on a test system next week.

For some dedicated attention I would recommend to open a support case.

fbartels

It certainly is a bit strange. I did some test as wekk and I get the same error message:

2019-01-02 15:52:15,041 - spamd - INFO - Learning message as SPAM, entryid: 00000000D5713A05C54F4CBB9899E84DD9B593FE0100000005000000548FAD18C4534CA78B2374C46D55FD2700000000

what makes it even stranger, what the script does when giving the error is a chown, and doing this manually works: sudo -H -u kopano chown kopano:amavis /var/lib/kopano/spamd/spam/E6F09EA690A54940988C8C8467345422.eml

Will need to check with a python developer tomorrow.

PS: nevertheless I updated the manual to make the steps more clear and also added a hint to the repo where you got that sudoers stuff from that the content of the repo are outdated. https://documentation.kopano.io/kopanocore_administrator_manual/special_kc_configurations.html#configuring-kopano-spamd-for-automatic-spam-ham-learning

Diving into this caused quite some head scratching. The issue is caused by failing over to the bundled daemon module in python-kopano, which was still required in the python2 world, but not anymore in python3. The issue should go away when you install the python3-module manually. We will add this as an official dependency soon.

I have tried it now also in the newest Version (kopano-spamd_8.7.80.424.3b35b58f3-0+49.1_amd64.deb) but also there is the problem not fixed:

@BMWfan

Did you install python3-daemon manually as suggested by @fbartels ?

Assuming you’re running Debian: apt-get install python3-daemon

cblaha

@fbartels: I’ve installed python3-daemon via apt-get but I get the error already.

BMWfan

@ashceryth yes, but i doesn’t work.

BMWfan

@fbartels have you changed more then only installing the python-deamon?

thctlo

try both
apt install python-daemon python3-daemon

and/or
apt install python-daemonize python3-daemonize

And what are the rights on : /var/lib/kopano/spamd/spam/
i havent looked at my system, but the rights are probley 755
you can try
chmod -R 1770 /var/lib/kopano/spamd

adduser spamassassin kopano
adduser amavis kopano

restart spamassassin and amavis

cblaha

I’ve now installed

python-daemon, python3-daemon,python-daemonize, python3-daemonize

but i got always the same error message.

I always changed the permission on /var/lib/kopano/spamd and add the user to the group kopano.

BMWfan

@thctlo i’ve already done and now again without any progress depending on the failure.

i have the same problem on centos 7.

mark dufour

@mark-dufour here is the needed output from a Debian 9 Server:

$ pip3.5 list
Package           Version
