Can we manually upgrade SpamAssassin to the latest version? I see currently the installed version is 2.55 but 2.62. Just wondering how we could do it with out breaking Exim.
 
Hello,

Exim just runs the program and doesn't use it as a linked object, so just compile and install it normally, and exim should start using the new version.

If anyones does this it works perfectly. What I did was download the new SpamAssassin to

/usr/local/directadmin/scripts/packages

Then I edited the script spam.sh from 2.55 to the newest version. I did it this way because it was easy for other admins in the future.

The only problem I found is that it installs the latest version to:
/usr/local/bin/

So I changed my startup script in FreeBSD to
/usr/local/bin/spamd -a -d

All is well...
