[qmailtoaster] Re: SpamAssassin Version
Just to throw my 2-cents worth in here... Binary packages are fine in a well-controlled environment, but source packages offer far more flexibility -- especially if the Makefiles are sophisticated enough to recognize advanced features and take advantage of them (without REQUIRING them). And while binary packages of SpamAssassin and ClamAV are likely available in binary form (and it may not be a bad idea to make the QMT dependent on the standard installation features and locations of each of these), the fact is that QMT grew up in a time when QMail itself was REQUIRED to be distributed in a source format -- part of the licensing requirement of Daniel Bernstein, author of QMail. (I don't think that's true anymore, since Daniel put QMail truly into the Public Domain, but I never worried about that so I'm not totally up-to-date on QMail licensing requirements). NOTE: I already use QMail in a VM environment (CentOS 5.6 is the host OS, Xen is the VM environment, and CentOS 5.5 is my current guest OS running QMT -- I'll update that at some time in the future, but I'm honestly expecting to wait for CentOS 6 before I upgrade the base QMT again). The point is, you are right that there is a sizable disk-space requirement to rebuild the entire QMT from source (*esp*. ClamAV)... but there is an easy way to patch that! Specifically, I mount an NFS volume from my Xen Host to supplement my Xen Client's storage while I build, then unmount and destroy the temp space when I'm done. NOTE: For ME this works especially well because I administer so many QMT installs -- I update the VM image, then distribute it to my clients. All of their actual data (the queue, the mailboxes, the control folder, etc.) are kept on NFS-mounted drives on the HOST OS -- so only the binary QMT is actually run on the Xen-Client... this is not a NORMAL config, and wouldn't be MY config if it weren't for my need to manage so many installs at the same time. Take from this what you wish -- discard the rest. It's worth every penny you paid for it!

Tried Ubuntu, CentOS and keep coming back to Fedora - mainly because the php is more up to date The driving line is not so much SA - SpamAssassin as Clam, on my last server - Fedora 12 based, there was an issue with spam and the update to SA 3.3 did get me into later rule sets (via sa-update) You can - in the Fedora 13 case, substitute in yum install spamassassin with little difficulty, basically install the package, it pulls in what it needs, then create the scripts to run under daemontools. The clamav is harder, but I have it running, though untested. The end aim is just to let the rpm system update clam, rather than having to recompile to src rpm so why is that so bad ? well the toaster works fine on a VM with 20Gb HDD and 512k ram but to recompile the clam package you have to stop the services to free up memory ... so having a recipe for utilizing then yum package is nice ... which brings you back to your argument, Fedora 13 will only have a short life for clamav updates via yum David Bray http://www.brayworth.com.au da...@brayworth.com.au Not everything is perfect with QMT, I would agree, but at the same time: it works! And as Eric pointed out, CentOS / RHEL 5.x is the most current version of the recommended OS for QMT. Jake is working on QMTv2 which will incorporate some changes and it will actually address some of the things you mention (like an option to just install binary packages instead of compile from source). That being said, if you'd like to help with QMT, please join the qmailtoaster-devel list as well!

Eric, I'm on spamdyke 4.2.0+TLS+CONFIGTEST+DEBUG (C)2011 If she sends me a plain text message I get them. I wonder if it's a clamd or spamassassin issue.
