Sending a test mail to Mailpit results in an overly optimistic spam result:

If I am understanding you correctly, are you suggesting the ALL_TRUSTED rule be ignored in spamassassin?

otbutz commented 1 week ago

I can only argue based on my use case, which is testing HTML mail rendering and avoiding potential deliverability issues. In this scenario, nothing ever leaves my local network, which seems to be what this rule gives me points for.

The problem is that I want to mimic the score that the receiving mail server will calculate. At this point, the mail isn't coming from a trusted host, at least from the recipient's point of view.

axllent commented 1 week ago

I completely understand your point, I am just not sure what to do about it. You cannot really disable the ALL_TRUSTED test, or rather, disabling it (setting it's score to 0 in Spamassassin) automatically disables a whole whack of other tests:

I've been doing some reading and I don't believe there is an ideal solution to this (but please correct me if I'm wrong). I have created a temporary docker image for you to test the score ALL_TRUSTED 0 which produces all the above-mentioned info in docker) on axllent/spamassassin:all-trusted-0. This shouldn't give you any negative ALL_TRUSTED scores, however as you'll see above, it probably misses many of the other tests too. I honestly don't think this is "the solution" because of all the disabled tests, but I don't have an idea what the alternative here is.

Could you please try using that "all-trusted-0" tag and let me know what you find? Thanks.

How does spamassassin derive ALL_TRUSTED ? This has to be related to the IP addresses involved? Maybe we can start there?

axllent commented 1 week ago

I really have no idea to be honest. The Spamassassin codebase is huge, and written in perl (which I'm not familiar with), so if you'd like to spend time investigating it that would be great. I've also moved this issue to axllent/spamassassin project as this really relates directly to this (Mailpit just reads the result) :+1:

otbutz commented 1 week ago

https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/spamassassin/FixingAllTrusted sound promising. I'll investigate :slightly_smiling_face:

otbutz commented 1 week ago

This marks the Docker subnetwork as trusted:

trusted_networks  172.17.0.0/16
internal_networks 172.17.0.0/16

Source: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/SPAMASSASSIN/TrustPath

Seems to work :+1:

axllent commented 6 days ago

Thanks for that. I've given it a test and this works great if the emails have actually come via those ranges, however if the emails haven't (ie: wrongly configured, or originate from another IP) then the spam rating goes through the roof.

In the next couple of days I will look at a a solution of setting this via an optional environment setting :+1:

otbutz commented 6 days ago

At least for Mailpit this should be sufficient. But I agree that this needs to be something configurable.

axllent commented 5 days ago

Hmm, I'm not actually sure this will achieve what you are wanting, and I cannot replicate my earlier testing / result. From my understanding, all you are achieving is guaranteeing that SpamAssassin knows what your trusted network is, thus guaranteeing that it will apply the -1 ALL_TRUSTED.

I have pushed a change (and a new latest image) that allows you to set the INTERNAL_NETWORKS and TRUSTED_NETWORKS variables in your Docker startup, eg:

  spamassassin:
    container_name: spamassassin
    image: axllent/spamassassin
    restart: unless-stopped
    environment:
      INTERNAL_NETWORKS: 172.20.0.0/16 172.17.0.0/16
      TRUSTED_NETWORKS: 172.20.0.0/16 172.17.0.0/16

Looking forward to your feedback.
