Blush, but it is the INSTALL file that I was having difficulty with. I
guess the most obvious things must escape me blindly, but here are a few
questions I am struggling with:
- what directory do I copy this code to
- does it take all this code to run the application or are there only
certain directories required for installation and then other ones that are
either directories created as a result of running the Perl install module or
a subset of the install ones that I should copy somewhere (I am short on
space)
- what do those little squiggly lines mean and exactly what does this mean:
perl Makefile.PL PREFIX=~/sausr SYSCONFDIR=~/saetc
make
make install
(I understand from years of DOS/Windows that the line perl must call a
perl.exe somewhere and that it in turn interprets the Makefile.PL file,
however, I don't know if the /sausr is a literal value I should use or is it
an abbreviation for one of the 3 pop3 email accounts on my shell server and
if it is an abbreviation for one, how to I add the total of 3 users to the
code (I monitor any SPAM folders and/or SPAM additional POP3).
- does the install code automatically know where and what resources are
available and how to access them (I have struggled with this on 2 line CGI
scripts that I have attempted before).
Here are the directories I see when I FTP to my account: (where Domain is my
domain name):
.procmailrc (simple formulas to divide POP3 accounts to mail files)
Domain-www (directory)
index.htm (and several others for my 3 page website)
cgi-bin (empty because I have not yet gained CGI skills)
Domain-mail (directory)
userXmail (have name corresponding to each of 3 POP3 user accounts)
Domain-webmail (directory)
Xxxxxxxxx (various files to control the URL mail access option for
my domain
(etc.)
Here is output from TelnetSSH: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Domain]$ perl -v
This is perl, v5.6.1 built for i686-linux

Personal involvement: Although friendly, always trying to make a joke and
sometimes coming off as sarcastic, my objective with this effort is mainly
to eliminate and or reduce our 200 daily SPAMs. Again, after almost a year
of sending SPAM to named header/hosting ISPs, my wife demanded I "get to
work" and "get a life" after finally reaching 2 hrs a day with this
activity. Being somewhat vindictive as well, and while interested in
automating this process with some SPAM filter, while somewhat disappointed
with the possibly of losing the enjoyment of having been responsible for an
ISP shutting down a spammer website here and there, I have finally folded
and will accept a SPAM filter that may not complain as loud as I like.
Another factor with my decision to go to SA is false positives really kill
customers of my wife's small business and therefore if we get too many, we
are better off opting for the SPAM. Have reviewed & installed a couple of
other tools that were not configurable (i.e. can't set flags lower for
keywords, likely someone else's SPAM but not hers, but necessary for her
highly ethical business practice using same words).
