Using TMDA with SpamAssassin

Just wondering if anyone has ever used TMDA with SpamAssassin?

What I'd like to do is have all mail that SpamAssassin filters as
spam, then go to TMDA instead of /dev/null just incase SpamAssassin ever
filters a legitimate email.

I assume that TMDA would need to be reachable through it's own alias so
that email addresses can be verified.  I am using Postfix as my MTA and
Procmail as my LDA.

Can this be done?

Thanks,

Some tmda problems

Hello, 

A few weeks ago, I installed tmda with a bit of 
difficulty on my RedHat 7.3 system running sendmail.

Now, I seem to be having some problems.
For example, some guy sent me 2,500 identical junk
mails which ended up in my pending folder. Due to some
apparent instabilities in tmda-pending, I finally had
to blow away my pending directory with everything in
it.  

The tmda-pending problems: well, among the 2,500 identical
messages there were a few others, and for some reason they
cause tmda-pending to crash. Once it crashes, it apparently
looses track of the fact that it already released several
hundred messages, so the next invocation of tmda-pending,
I'm back to square one.  

Here is the output of a typical tmda-pending crash:

Certainly.  See http://tmda.net/faq.cgi?req=show&file=faq01.010.htp

TMDA 0.62 is released

TMDA 0.62 is released.

Get it from <URL:http://tmda.net/releases/tmda-0.62.tgz>

=====================================================================

What's new?

* New feature: auto-response rate limiting.  Meant as a last resort to
  prevent mail loops between TMDA and broken remote auto-responders,
  you can now specify the maximum number of automatic responses sent
  to a given sender in a day.  Default is 50.  See the description of
  MAX_AUTORESPONSES_PER_DAY in TMDA/Defaults.py for more information.

  Note that a new directory 'responses' will be automatically created
  under DATADIR to store the rate limiting information.

* New feature: TMDA can now send mail using an SMTP server which
  requires authentication.  Set the SMTPAUTH_USERNAME and
  SMTPAUTH_PASSWORD variables to enable this.  Requires Python 2.2 or
  greater.

* New feature: TMDA can now send mail over an SSL connection if your
  SMTP server supports the STARTTLS extension.  Set the SMTPSSL and
  optionally the SMTPSSL_KEYFILE and SMTPSSL_CERTFILE variables to
  enable this.  Requires Python 2.2 or greater.

* New authentication sources for tmda-ofmipd courtesy of David
  Guerizec.  You can use the `-R' option to authenticate against a
  pop3, imap, or imaps (ssl) server.  See `tmda-ofmipd --help' and/or

tmda-ofmipd md5 errors

Greetings,

I am getting some errors when using tmda-ofmipd run as root with any of the
following:

tmda-ofmipd -u tmda -R imap
tmda-ofmipd -u tmda -R imaps

tmda-ofmipd -d -u tmda -A '/usr/local/bin/checkpassword-pam -s id
--stdin -- /bin/true'

tmda-ofmipd -d -u tmda -A '/usr/local/bin/checkpassword-pam -s
system-auth --stdin -- /bin/true'

tmda-ofmipd -d -u tmda -A '/usr/local/bin/checkpassword-pam -s smtp
--stdin -- /bin/true'

It dumps my connections from Sylpheed (forcing CRAM-MD5, per Jason):

Please note that none of the -A and -R authentication method has
anything to do with CRAM-MD5 auth, so be sure to have the correct
username:password pair in your /etc/tofmipd file (since this is
currently the only supported method with CRAM-MD5).

Well, it seems like this is my problem, thanks David.

Any plans to implement this in the future?

appreciate the help,
DV

Unfortunately, this is not possible due to the way CRAM-MD5 auth works.
Try to switch to another auth mechanism, and if you're concerned with
security, tunnel your connection thru ssl with stunnel.

Best regards,

David

tmda-ofmipd tag default

Hi,

First, thanks for tmda-ofmipd.

I like to have my default dated tag as "exp" instead of "dated".  I 
notice that tmda-ofmipd seems to inject the tag as "dated" even if I've 
specified "exp" as my default outgoing tag in my .tmdarc.  Is there a 
way to specify the default tag for tmda-ofmipd or am I just missing 
where to do that?

Thanks again,
TJ

Move ~/.tmdarc to ~/.tmda/config and see if that helps.

tmda-ofmipd is only trained to look for the file in that location.

See `tmda-ofmipd --help' for more info.
