Hi All,
Am trying to install spamassassin on unbuntu without a smtp running on
it.
Is it mandatory to have a smtp server to run spam assassin.
No - on Ubuntu you can just apt-get install spamassassin spamc.
I want to install these modules and call specific subroutine to check
my message for spammy content and give me the results . the calls will
be made from web form.
cat message | spamc will return the results of the SA analysis. You'd
really need to include or insert mail headers, unless you have a very
clear idea indeed about body-only rules, and disable all the header
related ones.
Am trying to build a tool which accepts a email message and checks it.
Are you *certain* it wouldn't be easier to do this on the mailserver?
Running mail through SA from amavis/Postfix/Exim/... is really
straightforward. If the mailserver is under someone else's control, then
you could use e.g. fetchmail to send it on through a local mailserver.
Any help with the installation instructions and the details regarding
the set up and modules will be appreciated.
