SpamAssasin Mail CGI Failure

[Fission]

I'm getting the following line in my server log.

[2005-08-21 00:01:08] ERROR: Mail CGI failure. CreateProcess failed 'C:/SAMBAR60/perl/perl.exe C:\SAMBAR60\bin\mailcgi.pl'.

Any ideas?

Thanks -

Seems that you have "Router CGI Script = mailcgi.pl" in mail.ini

This works only if you have SpamAssassin installed.
Did you ?

I'm sorry let me give more details.

Yes I have SpamAssassin installed. I am running ActivePerl 5.8.7.813. I followed the guide I found in a link from this forum on how to install and configure SpamAssassin. In my mail overview, it says that SpamAssassin is "ON" and "Anti-spam CGI is mailcgi.pl" I thought is was working until I saw my log file filling up with the error in my last post. Now I assume that it is not working because I still get LOTS of spam emails. I am running Sambar Server V6.2 (pro) on W2k pro.

Thanks for the help.

Sure with that error message it is not working.
Here is it working fine.

check if the the first line in mailcgi.pl eg. #!C:\perl\bin\perl.exe

I assume you do not run SpamD, so in mailcgi.pl check that you have:

# my $mailMessage=`spamc < $tmpFile`;
# my $mailMessage=`spamassassin < $tmpFile`;
my $mailMessage=`spamassassin.bat < $tmpFile`;

To check if it is workng, check in the router.log for:

[ROUTERCGI] No spam found in message
[ROUTERCGI] Spam found in message

I changed the 1st line to #!C:\perl\bin\perl.exe. It was a unix path, but it is still not working. Is the pound sign "#" a comment? Also it seems that my path is wrong? CreateProcess failed 'C:/SAMBAR60/perl/perl.exe -' Perl.exe is in the c:\perl\bin folder. How do I change this? Here is my windows path variable: C:\Perl\bin\;%SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem;c:\php

Your help is very much appreciated.

Hi,

Check in config.ini:

Perl Executable = C:\Perl\bin\

Btw.
Did you test SpamAssassin following http://www.openhandhome.com/howtosa300.html ?
