[Mimedefang] Tracing/Debugging MIMEDefang

[Peter A. Cole]

Hi all,

What's the best way to see what actions are happening when mimedefang-filter
processes spam and/or virii?

I have a problem whereby when I receive spam, not only does it get sent to
my spamdrop mailbox, but it still gets delivered to the original recipient.

And, to add to the confusion, if I send a test spam message from one of my
local accounts to another local account, it gets delivered twice to my
spamdrop (once on the way out to my ISP's smarthost and once when fetchmail
retrieves it) and once to the original recipient.

In all cases, the spamassassin report is delivered, the X-Spam headers are
in place with the score listed, the spamdrop recipient has been added, but
the original recipients have not been deleted.

I'm basically using a modified version of the example mimedefang-filter
supplied with the Debian package with the maildrop entries in "sub
filter_end" as specified in the mimedefang FAQ.

I've searched Google with no success, I've had a previous thread on this
list which basically ended up with me totally confused as the entries I was
given were pretty much identical to what I already had, so now I'm a tad
lost...

I'm using Debian Sarge with the Debian packages of sendmail 8.12.11.Beta0
and mimedefang 2.38-2.

If you wish to view my mimedefang configuration, the following links contain
the current files:

http://users.bigpond.com/mork73/mimedefang.pl.conf

Can anybody point me in the right direction?

Thanks,

Pete
