spam not going to ~/Maildir/.spam directory

Hi

I'm trying to configure spam to go the a spam directory "~/Mialdir/.Spam" in the users email directory no matter how I configure it, the spam goes to /dev/null

"Time:1274629213 From:greg@lydia.co.nz To:greg@lydia.co.nz User:greg.lydia Size:2738 Dest:/dev/null Mode:Spam "

Yet The anti-virus config works perfectly delivering the email to ~/Maildir/.Virus

How do I fix this ?

specs Webmin 1.510 & Virtualmin 3.78.gpl SpamAssassin version 3.2.5 Perl version 5.10.0 procmail v3.22 2001/09/10 Ubuntu 10 LTS

Howdy,

Well, technically, Ubuntu 10.04 LTS isn't supported by the installer yet, so it's possible you're running into some sort of incompatibility :-)

However, the reason that would otherwise occur is if a spam is scored as particularly high.

In your /var/log/mail.log file should be an associated SpamAssassin entry that lists what spam tests matched on that particular email. Which tests is it saying matched, and how high is it scoring?

You may also want to verify that in Server Settings -> Spam and Virus Delivery, that "Delete spam if score is above" is set to "Don't delete". You may also want to verify that "Destination for spam email" on that same screen is set to go to the correct place.

Ok that makes sense. I'm using the test string from http://spamassassin.apache.org/gtube/ for testing which would most likely cause a score high enough to do that .

Thanks.
