How are you integrating SA? At this time installing from http://www.backports.org/dokuwiki/doku.php would be the least disruptive to your system. You should 'simulate' installation with the -s switch to see what will get upgraded (perl for example). For example, once the backports source is in sources.list (see http://www.backports.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=instructions): apt-get -s -t etch-backports install spamassassin However, yes, configuration changes will be needed. http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/spamassassin/branches/3.2/UPGRADE http://spamassassin.apache.org/full/3.2.x/doc/ For instance, the DCC plugin may need to be enabled by editing v310.pre and in local.cf you should explicitly set trusted_networks. If you previously installed the ImageInfo plugin, you would need to remove it prior to upgrading. Same goes for FuzzyOcr. If you are using amavisd-new, and upgrade from 20030616-p10 to a new version without knowing some important things in advance, the installation with leave you with blank configuration files, dpkg errors and an amavisd-new that will not start (meaning mail will stop flowing). Understand that on Debian, any 2.x.x version of amavisd-new no longer uses amavisd.conf, but instead spreads its configuration over a number of files: /usr/share/amavis/conf.d/10-debian_scripts /usr/share/amavis/conf.d/20-package /etc/amavis/conf.d/01-debian /etc/amavis/conf.d/05-domain_id /etc/amavis/conf.d/05-node_id /etc/amavis/conf.d/15-av_scanners /etc/amavis/conf.d/15-content_filter_mode /etc/amavis/conf.d/20-debian_defaults /etc/amavis/conf.d/25-amavis_helpers /etc/amavis/conf.d/30-template_localization /etc/amavis/conf.d/50-user (note that most changes to the configuration will be made in /etc/amavis/conf.d/50-user) Here is a hint to avoid amavisd-new upgrade issues: http://marc.info/?l=amavis-user&m=114918487508776 Generally, since you are still on sarge, this could range from being a fairly straightforward upgrade to a major undertaking that leaves you with an unusable system. Have fun with all that. -- Gary V
