This is for SA + Amavisd-new:
Recompile the following src.rpm (some of the for use with FuzzyOCR), take them
from OpenSuse factory:
perl-MLDBM-2.01-280.src.rpm
perl-Convert-UUlib-1.051-31.src.rpm
perl-MLDBM-Sync-0.30-276.src.rpm
perl-IO-Multiplex-1.08-14.src.rpm
perl-Archive-Tar-1.30-17.src.rpm
perl-Net-Server-0.94-18.src.rpm
perl-IO-String-1.08-30.src.rpm
perl-BerkeleyDB-0.31-12.src.rpm
perl-Tie-Cache-0.17-274.src.rpm
perl-MIME-tools-5.420-20.src.rpm
perl-Compress-Zlib-1.42-20.src.rpm
perl-Tie-IxHash-1.21-618.src.rpm
perl-IO-Zlib-1.04-29.i586.src.rpm
You can compile these from src.rpms taken from Anders Norrbring ftp:
amavisd-new-2.4.4-4.i586.rpm
perl-spamassassin-3.1.7-3.i586.rpm
spamassassin-3.1.7-3.i586.rpm
After you compile and install all these make sure your local.cf and
amavisd.conf are of the new format (read release notes for SA 3.1)
Note:
-----
Due to the database format change, you will want to do something like
this when upgrading:
- stop running spamassassin/spamd (ie: you don't want it to be running
during the upgrade)
- run "sa-learn --rebuild", this will sync your journal. if you skip
this step, any data from the journal will be lost when the DB is
upgraded.
- upgrade SA to 3.0.0
- run "sa-learn --sync", which will cause the db format to be upgraded.
if you want to see what is going on, you can add the "-D" option.
- test the new database by running some sample mails through
SpamAssassin, and/or at least running "sa-learn --dump" to make sure
the data looks valid.
- put new local.cf to its location
- check the syntax of SA & amavisd-new
# spamassassin --lint
# su vscan
# /usr/sbin/amavisd debug
OR
su - vscan -c '/usr/sbin/amavisd debug'
