Hello All, A long time ago, I tried to install SpamAssassin from OpenBSD's ports collection, and was unsuccessful. Recently, I decided to try installing it manually...and have run into a weird set of circumstances that I'm hoping I can get some help with.
To cut to the chase, here's the sequence of events on my side and the current status of things: 1. Sometime in 2003: install SpamAssassin from ports, never get it up and running. 2. Two days ago: having forgot my earlier install, download SA from the main web site, manually build it and install it. Everything built fine, tests ran OK....but cat <Maildir file that's a spam> | spamc -c gives me 0/0, the failure code. 3. Today: uninstall SA from ports, try again, same result. 4. Uninstall SA with a "make uninstall" from my manual install dir; try again, same result. 5. Completely delete everything on my system remotely named SpamAssassin -- all the binaries, stuff in /usr/local/libdata/perl5/site_perl, etc. Reinstall SA via CPAN. Test again...same result. What's weirdest about this is that `cat <spam-file> | spamassassin -t` will work fine and tell me it's a spam. For whatever reason, though, I can't get spamc to play nice. Anyone with any thoughts on the cause of this problem, I'd greatly appreciate hearing from you. Alex Kirk
