See http://www.cynistar.net/~apthorpe/code/configuring_cpan.html specifically the sections on modifying /usr/perl5/5.00503/sun4-solaris/Config.pm to point at a proper C compiler (you may need to change the perl version and architecture in the path to match your version of Solaris.) Once you've fixed Sun's perl, installed SA and its prerequisites (fairly easy if you've configured CPAN), the SA documentation should help you set it up with per-user (typical) preferences. For mailserver-specific installation instructions, your best bet is a Google search or http://www.spamassassin.org/. It's probably easiest to set up SA using procmail and the spamassassin script first, then migrate to using spamc/spamd for efficiency once you're comfortable with the system. Finally, if performance and configuration management are a concern, you may want to look into integrating SA with Sendmail as a milter or as a component to MimeDefang (see http://www.roaringpenguin.com/mimedefang/ or http://www.mimedefang.org/) hth, -- Bob ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email sponsored by: Free pre-built ASP.NET sites including Data Reports, E-commerce, Portals, and Forums are available now.
