 ====== Spamassassin ====== ====== Spamassassin ======

 +From v4 Debian's spamassasin is has now dedicated package to provide persistent service:
 +  * spamd
 +so ''/etc/default/spamassasin'' should be converted to ''/etc/default/spamd''
 +
 +===== missing perl modules =====
 +
 +Check if some modules are missing:
 +<code bash>
 +spamassassin -D --lint 2>&1 | grep -i failed
 +</code>
 +
 +<code bash>
 +sudo apt-get install libencode-detect-perl libnet-libidn-perl \
 +    libemail-address-xs-perl libmail-dkim-perl libmail-spf-perl \
 +    libio-socket-ip-perl
 +</code>

 +<code bash>
 +sudo apt install libdigest-sha-perl libnet-libidn2-perl libmaxmind-db-reader-perl libmaxmind-db-reader-xs-perl

 +====== bayes: tok_get_all: SQL error: Illegal mix of collations for operation ' IN ' ======

 +Aug 11 18:10:51.719 [37716] dbg: bayes: tok_get_all: SQL error: Illegal mix of collations for operation 'in'
 +Aug 11 18:10:51.719 [37716] dbg: bayes: cannot use bayes on this message; none of the tokens were found in the database
 +Aug 11 18:10:51.719 [37716] dbg: bayes: not scoring message, returning undef
 +</code>

 +It was running on very old system, upgraded multiple times. Nowadays other encodings are added to MySQL database.
 +
 +<code sql>
 +ALTER DATABASE sa CHARACTER SET utf8mb4 COLLATE utf8mb4_unicode_ci;
 +</code>
 +Not possible to convert bayes databases to new charset:
 +<code sql>
 +ALTER TABLE awl CONVERT TO CHARACTER SET utf8mb4 COLLATE utf8mb4_unicode_ci;
 +</code>
 +
 +Recreate tables with new character set (prebiously set for ''sa'' database):
 +  * backup bayes ''sa-learn --backup >backup.txt''
 +  * drop 5 ''bayes_'' tables: ''DROP TABLE `bayes_expire`, `bayes_global_vars`, `bayes_seen`, `bayes_token`, `bayes_vars`;''
 +  * create it again from scheme: ''/usr/share/doc/spamassassin/sql/bayes_mysql.sql''
 +  * ''sa-learn --restore backup.txt''
 +
 +Another problem:
 +  * [[https://lists.apache.org/thread/396rsbzngm3ydc1ol5xw4mg99d5h1q64|BayesStore MariaDB on EL9]]
 +  * [[https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-43418]]
 +  * [[https://serverfault.com/questions/1029024/can-i-usefully-convert-spamassassin-bayes-tokens-from-utf8-char5-to-binary5]]
 +
 +For me it was faster to train bayes again:
 +<code bash>
 +sa-learn --ham --progress ./hamdir
 +sa-learn --spam --progress ./spamdir
