Thread: markasjunk2 problem on Windows Server

Hello,

I can't make markasjunk2 run using the cmd_learn learning_driver on a Windows Server 2003. I've installed the last SAwin32 and sa-learn from the SAwin32 | SpamAssassin for Win32 site, PHP 5.2.11/FastCGI. The spamassasin and the sa-learn work with no issues. But with markasjunk2 got stuck with probably some permissions issue. Here is my configuration and the errors I'm getting:



$rcmail_config['markasjunk2_learning_driver'] = 'cmd_learn';
$rcmail_config['markasjunk2_read_spam'] = true;
$rcmail_config['markasjunk2_unread_ham'] = false;
$rcmail_config['markasjunk2_detach_ham'] = true;
$rcmail_config['markasjunk2_spam_flag'] = 'Junk';
$rcmail_config['markasjunk2_ham_flag'] = null;
$rcmail_config['markasjunk2_debug'] = true;
$rcmail_config['markasjunk2_spam_cmd'] = 'sa-learn.exe --spam c:\sa\spam\%f';
$rcmail_config['markasjunk2_ham_cmd'] = 'sa-learn.exe --ham %f';
$rcmail_config['markasjunk2_spam_dir'] = 'c:\sa\spam';
$rcmail_config['markasjunk2_ham_dir'] = 'c:\sa\ham';
$rcmail_config['markasjunk2_filename'] = null;
$rcmail_config['markasjunk2_email_spam'] = null;
$rcmail_config['markasjunk2_email_ham'] = null;
$rcmail_config['markasjunk2_email_attach'] = true;
$rcmail_config['markasjunk2_email_subject'] = 'learn this message as %t';

With these settings the messages are succesfuly moved from the Inbox to the Junk foler, but noting is learned with the sa-learn. I found the error log in the c:\WINDOWS\Temp\php-errors.log
The error message is:
PHP Warning: exec() [<a href='function.exec'>function.exec</a>]: Unable to fork [sa-learn.exe --ham C:\WINDOWS\Temp\rcmB6.tmp] in C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\webmail\plugins\markasjunk2\dri vers\cmd_learn.php on line 44

Digging the web I found that the cmd.exe needs read/execute permitions for the web service. So after give them to it, what is unfortunately a security risk, a new error shows:
PHP Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 120 seconds exceeded in C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\webmail\plugins\markasjunk2\dri vers\cmd_learn.php on line 46
Also a file ("rcmB6.tmp" for example) and a folder "pdk-SYSTEM-2704" (this is created by the spamd service and the "SYSTEM" is the account the service run as) with bunch of dll created in the :\WINDOWS\Temp\pdk-SYSTEM-2704, but noting in the C:\sa\spam\.


If I replace
$rcmail_config['markasjunk2_spam_cmd'] = 'sa-learn.exe --spam c:\sa\spam\%f';
with
$rcmail_config['markasjunk2_spam_cmd'] = 'echo "Test" > c:\sa\spam\debug.txt';
on pressing the "Mark As Spam" button the c:\sa\spam\debug.txt is created, the "Test" word is wroten and the email is moved to the Junk folder.


Any help and ideas will be highly appreciated, thanks!
