SpamAssassin 3.2.0 released!

[will-lo]

Just to share with you guys who are using SARE.
This is a temp fix if you are using english only rules:

Add:
use bytes;

to the Message.pm file. Restart spamd.

There will be no more UTF-8 error message in maillog. Thanks.

What is the status on this update? Is it safe to continue on CentOS 4.4 servers?

 

[will-lo]

It's safe if:
1) you are using perl 5.8.8 and
2) you don't run custom rulesets like SARE

if you are using perl < 5.8.8 and you run English custom rulesets, you can add use bytes as stated in my previous post. Spamassassin 3.2 works fine here.

That would make sense as to why my system hung... I have alot of SARE rulesets and when I upgraded to 3.2.0... the system started running out of memory and came to a halt.

# killall -9 spamd
# /usr/bin/spamd -d -c -m 5

is enought to fix it, without reboot the box.

>/usr/bin/spamd -d -c -m 5

Thank you.

I moved my /etc/mail/spamassassin folder to /etc/mail/spamassassin-backup along with all the rules it contained and then installed spamassassin 3.2.2 on my system and all worked great thus far.

I'm using CentOS 3.3 with Perl 5.8.0.

Works for me:

wget http://search.cpan.org/CPAN/authors/id/G/GA/GAAS/HTML-Parser-3.56.tar.gz

tar xvzf HTML-Parser-3.56.tar.gz

cd HTML-Parser-3.56

perl Makefile.PL

make

make install

And run ./spam.sh again

>/usr/bin/spamd -d -c -m 5
[8727] warn: server socket setup failed, retry 1: spamd: could not create INET socket on 127.0.0.1:783: Address already in use

spamd: could not create INET socket on 127.0.0.1:783: Address already in use

EDIT: resolved with reboot

No reboot needed just type killall spamd then /usr/bin/spamd -d -c -m 5

The answer for this error is that spamd is already running and it sees it as a pid running so kill off the pids and run the command to start spamd again.

Good day and thanks for the help.

cd HTML-Parser-3.56

perl Makefile.PL

make

And run ./spam.sh again

it work to me as well, but HTML parse you can find to this followed link :

wget ftp://ftp.fi.debian.org/pub/gentoo/distfiles/HTML-Parser-3.56.tar.gz

and than, when you'll go to make sa-update and you find an error about a missed user agent, i remember you to visit this page:

http://help.directadmin.com/item.php?id=274

libwww-perl-5.832.tar.gz you can find to this followed link :

wget http://cpan.yimg.com/modules/by-authors/id/GAAS/libwww-perl-5.832.tar.gz

than in the end, how to check if the update is up properly??
Well, by root type :

perl -MMail::SpamAssassin -e 'print $Mail::SpamAssassin::VERSION;'

This command will show you which version you are running actually.

Regards and have a nice Vacation all

man , the error that you got it's mean : the pid already exists.
for next time:

killall -w spamd

then type the run command

No reboot needed just type killall spamd then /usr/bin/spamd -d -c -m 5

The answer for this error is that spamd is already running and it sees it as a pid running so kill off the pids and run the command to start spamd again.

Good day and thanks for the help.

make sure syslog service is start or spamd goes nuts.

Here is exact commands I ran after update of spamd

killall spamd

also did it again to make sure

killall spamd
spamd: no process killed <---- good

then

service syslog restart

then

setup

then

system services

and enabled syslog to auto start on system boot.

All working. Now


Thanks for everyone's help ... good day.

Next Version Update

I'm still running the stock install of spamassasin which is 3.2.5 although the latest version on the apache.spamassasin web site is 3.3.1.

Is there a release coming out soon or a rule update that can be used?
