I (finally) upgraded my main server/workstation from Slackware-11.0 to
-12.0. After rebooting into the newer kernel, the mail system wasn't
working. Postfix was OK, and I traced the problem to SpamAssassin. Version
3.1.7 was installed.
Some perl modules needed to be upgraded, so I did those via CPAN. This did
not fix the problem (memory use about 98%, disk trashing, postfix cleaning
running constantly, MTA connection to localhost (127.0.0.1) being refused,
etc.) so I thought an upgrade of SA was in order.
I tried to upgrade to 3.2.5 via CPAN ('perl -MCPAN -e shell; install
Mail::SpamAssassin'). The above mentioned problems still exist as soon as I
turn on the spam filter in /etc/postfix/master.cf. Turned it off again.
Here are the current versions reported by SA:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ /usr/local/bin/spamassassin -V
spamassassin: spamassassin script is v3.001007, but using modules v3.002005
SpamAssassin-3.1.7 is installed in /etc/mail/spamassassin/.
How should I proceed to fix the installation so there's only one copy
(either in /etc/mail/spamassassin or /usr/local/bin) and that's the latest
version? I would like to get this fixed ASAP so I can turn it back on and
still have the MTA working.
TIA,
Rich
