I have been running spamassassin for the past few months on my mail server. I am in the process of upgrading my version to the latest release and was wondering if someone can verify my procedure is correct as I have not done this before.
Is there a way to backup my current running release incase I encounter any issues and need to role back to my current configuration? wget http://apache.wildit.net.au/spamassassin/source/Mail-SpamAssassin-3.2.2.tar. gz cpan install LWP::UserAgent install HTTP::Date tar xvzf Mail-SpamAssassin-3.2.2.tar.gz perl Makefile.PL make && make install Here is my current local.cf file which is set to autolearn spam required_score 5.0 report_safe 1 use_bayes 1 bayes_auto_learn 1 skip_rbl_checks 1 use_razor2 0 #use_dcc 0 use_pyzor 0 #rbl_timeout 3 #ok_languages en ok_locales en #dns_available no #This is the directory and filename for Bayes databases #bayes_path /var/qmail/spamassassin/ # bayes_ignore_header X-Bogosity # bayes_ignore_header X-Spam-Flag # bayes_ignore_header X-Spam-Status sa-learn --sync spamassassin -D --lint spamassassin -t < /usr/src/spamassasin/Mail-SpamAssassin-3.2.0/sample-nonspam.txt spamassassin -t < /usr/src/spamassasin/Mail-SpamAssassin-3.2.0/sample-spam.txt
