• kSpam loads, but does not process inbound documents

    By Stephen P Sexton 2 decades ago

    installed kspam 1.5 on a Domino 7/Win 2K server.



    I've created many allow rules to white list common organizations, and 2 deny rules.



    I've created mailspam.nsf and mailgood.nsf with 1000+ documents each.



    I added 'spam' to the addin parameter in the notes.ini. I added bload to the serverTasks parameter for bayesian.



    When SMTP starts, kspam logs that it is loading rules, then that it has finished.



    When bload starts, it loads words for a couple of minutes, then reports that it has finished calculating probabilities and is ready. From the content of comblist.txt it is clear that it has read my mailgood and mailspam databases – all appears good



    BUT



    There is no indication in any messages that they have been processed – I don't see an KS_ items in the documents, and nothing is being blocked, even if it matches my rules.



    The kspam bayesian task appears when I show tasks at the console (showing minutes until it reloads probs).



    The smtp.kspam stats are available in the Domino admin client, and MessagesProcessed is increasing, but the messages themselves show no signs of being processed. Also, I have bayesian ratio set to 10, but no messages get copied to mailgood, and no messages have been copied to mailspam.



    Virtually all mail is coming in through SMTP, and I am not expecting Domino-routed mail to be processed by kSpam.



    When I posted this issue in the discussion forum with my configuration ("Problems getting kspam to work" 10-May-2006), Daniel Stelter identified that the KS_IID stat was not displayed under 1.5 and suggested I try 1.4b.



    I've done that, and everything works without any other changes that swapping the nspam.dll file, however, as Nico warned, 1.4b has memory problems that cause instability (the server crashed twice over the weekend).



    Clearly others are able to use kSpam 1.5, but it is not working for me and some others. Is this a known issue? Is there something I can do in my configuration to work around it? I saw a post from Nico stating that he would work on resolving a MIME reporting error on ND7 and a version reporting error. Nico, might you be able to look into this issue as well? Do you think it is relevant that the KS_IID is missing from the smtp.kspam stats?



    Thanks for your attention, and let me know if there is anything I can do to help you diagnose the issue.
