Not one to tamper, I hired 4psa (good or bad move I dunno yet), to install their 4PSA Clean Server and Spam Guardian, so I guess I should leave RPM's like that alone. But what others from the list above should I install??
psa-hotfix?? I just had 4PSA do all upgrades to my box for OS and PSA so do I need that hotfix?? And the ssh rpm's listed I am not sure to upgrade or not...
You input would be appreciated

I use 4psa a lot. They are fine. They even answer my stupid questions and help me out of stupid problems that I cause myself.

Sometimes Plesk doesn't quite realise that it has been updated. But I'm surprised there are so many psa-* things listed. Have you kept it up to date? If not then yes, you need these updates (but be caureful not to hose your system. Backup and be ready for anything!)

Out of all of these, the only one with a question mark over it might be Spamassasin. 4psa's SpamGuardian does work fine with SpamAssasin 3, and indeed it is designed for SA3 (if you had installed the software yourself you'd have been asked to download it and another RPM I think from 4psa's webs ite). But I don't know what Scott has done to his version that might be different to the version 4psa will have installed on your machine. I've added it to my yum.conf's exclude= line just in case.

Scott...any ideas? Or should we be asking 4psa about this?
