Hi Folks,

So far, so good - thanks for all the input!

I did the basic upgrade from backports, reloaded amavis and postfix, and all seems to be working just fine (note that I discovered that I also had to upgrade spamc, separately, from backports).

One follow-up question:

If you install 3.1.4, you need to patch amavisd-new so it finds new rules downloaded via sa-update. No need to do this if you get 3.1.5

Looks like backports is only at 3.1.3, and the directions at http://www200.pair.com/mecham/spam/p3.txt are just a bit sparse.

Can anyone provide just a little more advice - specifically vis-a-vis 3.1.3?

Thanks again,

Miles


The patch is for newer versions of amavisd-new. You can manually add the necessary line.

edit /usr/sbin/amavisd-new and locate the line that reads:

#       LOCAL_RULES_DIR   => '/etc/mail/spamassassin',

and just below it, add this:
        LOCAL_STATE_DIR   => '/var/lib',

At some point in the future you will upgrade to 3.1.5, when you do, this will no longer be necessary.
