Hi All,

We do have some functions in spassassin-toaster ver 3.1.0 that
are not working correctly. Ver 3.0.4 works fine but has a
security hole.

I do have a test box with all the functions working with a CPAN
install of ver 3.1.0.  It should not be too complicated to
duplicate this install.

First, remove spamassassin-toaster:

   rpm -e --nodeps spamassassin-toaster
   Be sure that /var/qmail/supervise/spamd is removed also.

Second, close firewall port tcp 783

   Spamassassin needs this closed or it chokes communicating
   on 127.0.0.1:783

Third, install ver 3.1.0 from CPAN:

   Note: If this is the first connection to CPAN, you will have
         to do the setup.

   cd /root
   perl -MCPAN -e shell
   install Mail::SpamAssassin
   quit

Forth, you will find the following files at:

   http://www.qmailtoaster.com/spam-fix/

   spamassassin-init -> /etc/rc.d/init.d/spamassassin  chmod 755
   spamassassin-sysconfig -> /ect/sysconfig/spamassassin chmod 644
   local.cf -> /ect/mail/spamassassin/local.cf (already configured)
   v310.pre -> /ect/mail/spamassassin/v310.pre (already configured)

   Some utilities, in case you screw up like I do :)

   list-perl-mods.pl -> util to show installed perl modules
   remove-perl.pl <module name> -> util to remove perl module

Fifth, make it run at boot:

   chkconfig --add spamassassin
   chkconfig spamassassin on
   chkconfig --list spamassassin (should show run 3 4 5 on)
   service spamassassin start

   spamassassin -D --lint

   check the modules that your system is missing to use all
   of spamassassin's filter functions and add them from CPAN
   by the same method as installing Mail::SpamAssassin

Feel free to change local.cf to your liking, I put it up just
so you will have a good place to start.

When you have everything running, you will want to comment the
line in /etc/mail/mailfilter 'cc |"sa-learn --spam"' so you don't
send those messages to sa-learn twice.

The mailfilter will still delete the spam over a score of twelve
or greater.

I hope this helps. This may be the best way to install spamassassin.

Regards,

Nick
