I was in a similar stage to you, but i'll promise that procrastinating is not going to make the upgrade happen for you.
First download the source Then discover what options you need to set. You get most of that from dspam --version, but also checkout the docs You can read up on options: http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/dspam/index.php?title=Build_options and also see the README and UPGRADING files. Backup your existing Dspam binaries you're using MySQL --with-storage-driver=mysql_drv so I think you should also copy the mysql storage driver. (I'm on Freebsd and location is /usr/local/lib/dspam) Do a MySQL dump of you DB And you might want to copy the dspam data folder aswell. (var/db/dspam for me) (might be just as easy to clone the whole machine.. dd, clonezilla, ghost, acronis, etc) Now whats stopping you from upgrading? stop dspam stop mysql stop postfix compile the code ./autogen.sh ./configure make make install? make changes to mysql tables as noted in UPGRADING (I think this might even be optional?) start mysql - is it running? start dspam - is it running? start postfix? - is it running watch your /var/log/maillog get ready to stop postfix if things are going funny. You should just go do that upgrade to 3.9.0 NOW... 3.9.0 is waaaaaaaaaaay better than 3.8.0 Hope this helps, Paul. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by Sprint What will you do first with EVO, the first 4G phone?
