[SOLVED] Spam detector update

[showiproute]

Hello everyone,

I recognised that pmg-daily.service only updates the regular Spamassassin score - but not the 2nd one (kam.sa-channels.mcgrail.com).
Can this also be automatically done?

This is done by pmg-daily - see:
https://git.proxmox.com/?p=pmg-api....c3ad24a7c2d3c97ac3b1b457b6d8596ad;hb=HEAD#l88

why do you think it is not done automatically? (keep in mind that not all channels will get updates on a daily basis)

Hello @Stoiko Ivanov ,

I checked on the GUI if there were any updates available which were.
I then restarted the `pmg-daily.service` and waited until it was finished.

After that I was able to verify that only Spamassassin itsellf was updated but not the 2nd one.

I checked on the GUI if there were any updates available which were.

could you please try to update the KAM channel through the GUI directly? (just click on the row - and click 'Update Now'
and paste the output of the task

thanks!

I have done that already after the automatic update via the service failed.
Unfortunately I did not copy the text but it worked as expected/without any errors or problems.

you could also check the journal around the time you started the pmg-daily.service - maybe there's an error-message there?

There is also no error:

Is there a log file for this service which I can check as well?

 

[Stoiko Ivanov]

I tried to reproduce it and was successful - this is a bug in the pmg-daily script.

I sent a patch to fix it to the pmg-devel list:
https://lists.proxmox.com/pipermail/pmg-devel/2022-July/002040.html

once applied all channels will get updated correctly

Thanks for noticing and reporting!

When is such a bugfix usually implemented to be used for regular users?

When is such a bugfix usually implemented to be used for regular users?

the process is (summed up an only roughly described):
* patch is sent to the mailing-list for discussion
* it gets reviewed and either applied - or a improved version gets applied eventually
* we test it internally
* it's published on the pmgtest repoistory
* it transitions to pmg-no-subscription to reach pmg-enterprise eventually

none of those steps have a precise time-frame and depend on a few external factors (e.g. our workload)

put shortly - cannot give you a precise date - but since quite a few fixes have accumlated for pmg we'll try to schedule packaging it soon.

Thanks for the information - I'll check if the update is available and would set this forum entry on "Solved" afterwards.

Hello @Stoiko Ivanov ,

I recently installed an update and it seems that the bug is now fixed as a manual restart of the daily service downloaded both spam lists.

Can you confirm that?

 

[Stoiko Ivanov]

yes the issue should be resolved in 7.1-4 - which should be available in pmg-no-subscription (and pmgtest)

Thanks - I'll set this post as "solved".
