Subject: Update SA on CentOS
To: users@spamassassin.apache.org
Hi list,
I use spamassassin 3.40 on CentOS 7. I know it's an older version and I
think the root cause for my increased spam.
Years ago I installed SA with: yum install spamassassin
Now I realized that with yum update the SA will not update to the newest
version.
Can someone help me to update SA to a newer version?
Regards
Olaf
I had excellent results with standard CentOS packaged Spamassassin on
7, only very recently moving to RHEL8 with SA 3.4.2. I'd be surprised
if it is the version of SA which is causing your increased spam - more
likely to be your end to end email stack.
I found using postfix with postscreen, SPF, DKIM and DMARC tagging,
and having effective Bayes configuration (and teaching it when it
fails to get it right) resulted in excellent spam prevention on CentOS
7 with its standard packaged SA. And then you are not stepping away
from one of CentOS's main advantages - stable packages not built
outside of RPM.
