Isn't Spam Assasin Free?

cjharman · Unread post by **cjharman** » Wed Jan 10, 2007 9:20 pm

Hey there!

Are you guys purchasing spam assasin from swsoft or are you just installing the free version??? I have always been a little T-off that i have to buy this functionality for our server...

if there is a free way to do it, can someone post a link here

Thanks
Joe

sw-soft doesnt have/distribute spamassassin. They're using the same one that comes with the OS. The only thing they distribute is psa-spamassassin which is a confusingly named package, thats really a gui, and the glue to add SA functions to the users mailbox.

Thanks Scott... so there has to be a good web based admin tool out there ... or some sort of tutorial on setting up SA for a email address???

Yeah, install qmail-scanner from my archive (yum install qmail-scanner)

Hey Scott... I did a yum update spamassassin... no problems... when i ran a sa-update i got the following

Code: Select all

IO::Zlib version 1.04 required--this is only version 1.01 at /usr/bin/sa-update line 95.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /usr/bin/sa-update line 95.

When I run the yum update zlib, it says i have the current version.. what do you recommmend?

I ran the yum install qmail scanner and go the following..

Code: Select all

[root@server1 xinetd.d]# yum install qmail-scanner

Well for starters, you cant use qmail-scanner and drweb together. They used the same trick I do to get qmail-scanner to work without tcpserver (but I was first!). Zlib, is in the atomic channel, dont remember the package name off the top of my head, so just run yum update.

Do i need to update this yum configuration .. i was origianlly running centos 3.3 ... but from within my plesk control panel the components are saying things like centos 3.6 (ex. 3.1.3-centos3.6.build81061129.22) now

I did run the yum update and i got the following error

Code: Select all

remove the psa-8.0 channel, then try it again

very cool scott... it worked... I did just see that you have the automatic yum configurator... that was a good idea, although i haven't used it yet

Hey Scott... I ran your atomic.sh program... and i got an error message :

Error: Unable to determine distribution type. Please send the content of /etc/redhat-release to support@atomicorp.com

here is what the contents of that file said

CentOS release 3.3 (final)

Hey Scott, probably should be starting a new thread... lol...

I ran yum remove psa-drweb...

then ran yum install qmail-scanner

I got the following

Code: Select all


[root@server1 etc]# yum install qmail-scanner

should i be using a different archive to grab this from?

So the good news is I added that into the installer, the bad news... its centos3 which uses the older version of yum that doesnt work with it. So now you'll get a message that says your distribution isnt supported

On the second problem, you need the base channel for your distro. If you're on a VPS your hosting company hates you, and wants your box to get owned. So they dont support yum.
