I'me very much new to dspam, and have a semi-working setup using
packages installed from Ubuntu repositories (dspam 3.6.8) with postfix
(also installed from repos).
I'm having a number of problems with dspam dying, but before I pester
this list for help I think (correct me if I'm wrong?) that I should
start by getting my installation up to 3.8.0. That means a source
installation, which I'm fairly comfortable with, but I really need to
get the configure right so that as far as possible my new dspam binaries
are drop-in replacements for the old ones.
I've found the HowTo in the wiki which relates to Debian (so in the
right area) but exim biased.
Foolishly I've come to rely on dspam (ie I thought everything was
working so migrated a couple of domains across to use the new server,
taking around 3000 mails per day). So I need to try to get this right on
first attempt to avoid making myself bigger problems.
Ideally I'd like to do the compilation on a different PC and copy the
binaries across. So far I have:
./configure --disable-bias \
--enable-virtual-users \
--with-storage-driver=mysql_drv \
--with-mysql-includes=/usr/include/mysql \
--enable-debug \
--with-dspam-home-owner=dspam \
--with-dspam-group=dspam \
--enable-experimental
.. from the wiki (I removed --with-delivery-agent and
--with-quarantine-agent as they refer to exim), and tried make and
checkinstall -D to build a .deb file. That gave me the error "Copying
files to the temporary directory... FAILED" but did create me a 7.5MB
.deb file. How well I can trust that, and whether the binaries would be
drop-in replacements for the Ubuntu binaries I have no idea.
On the plus side, I am getting around 1500 emails processed in 10
minutes when things work, which makes this easily worth pursuing for me.
