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

[thctlo]

hmm, you still have the "operation not permitted message.

Show me also the next folder content : /var/lib/kopano/spamd/spam

[fbartels]

On a Debian system you have to be member of a group to chown to that group. The permissions on the file do not matter for that.

@thctlo

that folder is also 777. i use a centos 7 system

@fbartels

do i need to add rspamd group to kopano?

[fbartels]

since you antispam system is not running on the same user, this setting is kind of useless for you (only required for the local programm to have read/write access to it). I would just set sa_group to kopano.

[thctlo]

Yes, you probley need to add rspamd to the kopano group.
Can you run : systemctl show | grep -i protect

it might be a case of ProtectSystem= ( sandboxing within systemd)

@fbartels

I have not completely followed the other topic, but there was something about the antispam system running on a different system and the need to pipe/copy the mail to the other system. so if the message needs to cross systems local ownership is not really relevant.

Above i posted a command to test the chown.

@fbartels

hi i have rspamd and kopano on the same system. now if i check the logs when i change the sa user to kopano it only gives me a warning in journalctl.

connection refused?

[A Former User]

itis working now.

@ckruijntjens and what was now the solution? My problem is on the kopano-spamd process and you mixed your problems with inotify also in this topic why i lost a little the overview here.

On my Debian 9 Server:

If i choose a mail in mail inbox to sort it in the junk mail folder i get this messages in /var/log/kopano/spamd.log:

i installed the python 3 deamon via apt-get install python3-daemon.

I have spamassassin, clamav and amavis running that’s why i assigned kopano to the amavis group via gpasswd -a kopano amavis.

i can execute this command sudo -H -u kopano chown kopano:amavis /var/lib/kopano/spamd/spam/9DFD4A4E633343C081465B7B8EDBCBE4.eml
so the rights should be correct, or?

So, what could it be?

What @BMWfan describes is exactly the origin problem.

@BMWfan

Hi,
Wat i did was adding kopano to my rspamd group and rspamd to kopano group.

The sa_group is kopano

Now its working for me

[cblaha]

Hi, the hint of @ckruijntjens was the last piece of the puzzle to the solution. After changing sa_group to kopano, kopano-spamd runs without errors.

[BMWfan]

@ckruijntjens thank you, this works for me now also after i changed the sa_group to kopano in the configuration etc/kopano/spamd.cfg but now is my inotify-spamlearn not more functioning as here described define-ham-and-spam-for-spamassassin, or what could i do that i could use amavis as the sa_group?

@BMWfan

Glad it worked👍👍👍

@cblaha @ckruijntjens @BMWfan

Guys, I think what you did is a workaround. Since you set the sa_group to kopano there is no change when executing chown (https://github.com/Kopano-dev/kopano-core/blob/master/ECtools/spamd/kopano_spamd/__init__.py#L104 line 104 onwards) on the files as they’re already owned by kopano:kopano. So, this way the original problem discussed in this thread isn’t triggered (that’s just what I think). Of course it works the other way round if you add amavis to the kopano group and then run inotify-spamlearn as user amavis. This way the user amavis has read and write permissions on the files as the user is member of the kopano group. Just my two cents.

And please don’t mix up spamd and inotify-spamlearn. These are two different things.

[BMWfan]

@ashceryth thanks for your opinion. You are right i think. I added kopano as described in my post before in the amavis group but the problem exists still if i configure this sa_group = amavis.
I can execute this manually sudo -H -u kopano chown kopano:amavis /var/lib/kopano/spamd/spam/9DFD4A4E633343C081465B7B8EDBCBE4.eml but the script gives us the following error if it has to execute it triggerd by the mail displacements in Kopano Webapp.

PermissionError: [Errno 1] Operation not permitted: '/var/lib/kopano/spamd/spam/9DFD4A4E633343C081465B7B8EDBCBE4.eml'

@mark-dufour do you need more informations to reproduce this issue?
