installing Spam Assassin

[gadgetsguy]

Is there a "for dummies" way to install Spam Assassin?

I've never had issues installing SA until this time .... and I'm kinda at a loss.

I've tried all of the suggestions in http://help.directadmin.com/item.php?id=36 and every thing I try I am getting errors that prevent me from installing it.

Both cpan and yum give me errors in trying to install the prerequisites

Hello,

If you're using CB2.0 you can use the following plugin for CB2.0 in DA

Then you have a webgui you can use to install it.

Hello,

To easy install a minimal set of all requirements you may use either apt-get/aptitude or yum/rpm depending on your OS distribution.

apt-get install spamassassin

yum install spamassassin

this will install a set of packages which are needed to run SA. Then you can remove spamassassin with apt-get/aptitude or yum/rpm depending on your OS distribution (without perl packages installed with it) and install SA with CustomBuild.

Note there optional perl packages which might be still missing on your server, that you will probably to install manually.

p.s. More information can be found with search function here on the forums.
