[Beginner] SpamAssassin-ClamAv on FC2

[printecho]

Hi !

I've got Plesk 7.5 on a FC2. I can't activated spamassassin from Plesk because : "Ability to use SpamAssassin Off" but i want to install it by my self.

I launched yum for doing the installation but spamassassin is always installed...
So I do a post in SWsoft's Forum and somebody replied to do a new post here.
After some search, I see that I can find exactly what i want here, but i don't really understand how to do it... I'm a few beginner on *nix

Finally, I want to install clamav and spamassassin but i've got DrWeb activated and maybe not qmail-scanner...

Can you help me step by step?

I have already change the baseurl in the yum.conf for doing install from ART, but after... I don't know what to do...

P.E.

1) Disable and remove Dr. Web. (yum remove drweb-qmail drweb)
2) Make sure ClamAV and SpamAssassin are installed (yum install clamd spamassassin)
3) Make sure clamd and spamd are running (service clamd start; service spamassassin start)
4) Install qmail-scanner (yum install qmail-scanner)
5) Edit the options if you want (in /etc/qmail-scanner.ini) and reconfigure after you have done that (qmail-scanner-reconfigure)

Sounds like you want to use the GUI for Spamassassin, but don't have the license for it. If you do have the Plesk license for Spamassassin, then forgive me for misunderstanding your post.

If you have not purchased the Plesk license for the Spamassassin GUI option, then you will only be able to use the SSH command line to edit the SA files, not the GUI.

Many admins get confused between having a software package installed on the server (which may be free), and having the Plesk Control Panel GUI for that software active (which requires a paid license for the GUI). Examples of this are Spamassassin, ColdFusion, and Application Vault.

In the Mail user config screen, if the SA option shows 'off' without underline, then I believe this means you don't have the license for the Plesk SA GUI. (Someone please correct me if I'm wrong)

[printecho]

oh no, it doesn't matter if i can't use the GUI.
I just want spamassassin and clamav for all domain and all mail.
That's all.
I don't want to use the GUI for Spamassassin. I use the GUI only for manage domain and pop.
I'm ok for to edit the SA files but i don't know how... I have already change some configuration files by ssh for other thing.

[jamesyeeoc]

Ah, ok. Sorry for not understanding your post.

In that case, you should follow what Breun posted above and you should be fine.

[printecho]

ok, i will try.
thks a lot!

[printecho]

oh yeah, just a question : is-it possible to disabled clamav and spamassassin for some domain of my server? or for some e-mail adress?

[scott]

yes, those settings can be configured from the settings_per_domain.txt file, documentation on how to use it are contained inside.

[breun]

I wanted to try this as well and found settings_per_domain.txt as /usr/share/qmail-scanner/settings_per_domain.txt. Editing this file and then recreating the db (using /var/qmail/bin/qmail-scanner-queue.pl -p) doesn't work though. It seems you need to copy settings_per_domain.txt to /var/spool/qscan/ first to be able to use this feature. Is this in the documentation somewhere? I couldn't find it. Couldn't your rpm just put settings_per_domain.txt in /var/spool/qscan/ directly, Scott?

Also, is it necessary to run qmail-scanner-reconfigure after running /var/qmail/bin/qmail-scanner-queue.pl -p? And is it necessary to run service qmail restart after running qmail-scanner-reconfigure? I seem to run those commands out of habit, but started to wonder whether it's actually needed to do so.

It seems I've got a problem here :
3) Make sure clamd and spamd are running (service clamd start; service spamassassin start)

Code: Select all

# service clamd start
Starting Clam AntiVirus Daemon: [ OK ]
# service spamassassin start
Starting spamd:
#

I've got no reply for spamassassin, it means ok or ko?
I prefer to ask you before to continue.

(I tried to stop spamassassin and start after : [ ok ] but just start return nothing)

[printecho]

I think it's ok, i find this command :
service spamassassin status
and it return :
spamd (......) is running...

So i try to continue

... What it means? I've got perl v5.8.3 on my fedora.
I don't know what to do...

[Galactic Zero]

you need to install perl-suidperl, it may not be one of your installed packages. You can try installing it via yum..

yum install perl-suidperl
or
up2date -i perl-suidperl

This is what I have installed:
perl-suidperl-2-5.8.0-90.4

Have you tried qmail-scanner-reconfigure ?
