I am trying to get dspam running on my new Debian install.
My problem is that I can't get sendmail to recognize the spam@... alias.

/etc/mail/aliases:
spam: "|/usr/local/bin/dspam --user root --class=spam --source=error"
notspam: "|/usr/local/bin/dspam --user root --class=innocent --source=error"

and when I try to send mail, I get:

----- The following addresses had permanent fatal errors -----
"|/usr/local/bin/dspam --user root --class=spam --source=error"
(reason: Service unavailable)
(expanded from: <spam@seiner.com>)

----- Transcript of session follows -----
451 4.0.0 putbody: write error: Broken pipe
smrsh: "dspam" not available for sendmail programs
554 5.0.0 Service unavailable

But in my /etc/mail/smrsh I have:

dionysus:/etc/mail/smrsh# ls -l
total 0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root smmsp 20 2007-05-06 07:40 dspam -> /usr/local/bin/dspam

and sendmail.cf says:

dionysus:/etc/mail# grep smrsh sendmail.cf
##### $Id: smrsh.m4,v 8.14 1999/11/18 05:06:23 ca Exp $ #####
Mprog, P=/usr/lib/sm.bin/smrsh, F=lsDFMoqeu9, S=EnvFromL/HdrFromL, R=EnvToL/HdrToL, D=$z:/,
A=smrsh -c $u
# FEATURE(`smrsh',`/usr/lib/sm.bin/smrsh')dnl

grepping for smrsh on the smrsh binary seems to say that it's looking in /etc/mail/smrsh...

dionysus:/usr/lib/sm.bin# strings smrsh | sort | uniq | grep smrsh
/etc/mail/smrsh

Can anyone guess what might be going on?

It looks like you are using strings and grep as an alternative to
reading documentation. That's not very productive.

Now where did I hide that website...

Hmmm... This same setup used to work. I set it up according to the docs
I could find....

The grep and strings deal was to confirm that the files were generated /
built per my expectations.

So... I set it up as per the docs. I confirmed that it was set up as per
the docs. It doesn't work.

I've also confirmed that there are no error/diag messages in maillog, and
that permissions on all the files look OK....

So I'm asking for .

Do you have any particular doc I should read?

Anybody?

This is really ridiculous and frustrating.

I've verified that my setup works - I can invoke procmail via smrsh just
fine.

But when I try to run dspam, I get:

May 8 07:42:37 dionysus sm-mta[16309]: l48EgFam016303: alias <spam@seiner.com> => "|dspam --user root --class=spam --source=error --stdout"
May 8 07:42:37 dionysus smrsh: uid 1: attempt to use "dspam --user root --class=spam --source=error --stdout"
May 8 07:42:37 dionysus sm-mta[16309]: l48EgFam016303: to="|dspam --user root --class=spam --source=error --stdout", ctladdr=<spam@seiner.com> (1/0), delay=00:00:01, xdelay=00:00:00, mailer=prog, pri=30592, dsn=5.0.0, stat=Service unavailable
May 8 07:42:37 dionysus sm-mta[16309]: l48EgFam016303: l48Egbam016309: DSN: Service unavailable

I've been through all the docs, I've done everything I can think of, and
dspam absolutely refuses to run...

Never mind....

It was a group permissions issue.... sendmail runs as smmta and dspam
was set up to run as mail.... ARGHHH!!!!

Too much reliance on automated install scripts....
