Hey Guys need some help

[Philip Parsons]

So I upgraded spamassassin to 3.4.0 and it all seems to be working except it does not seem to be reading the mailscanner.cf file in the /etc/mail/spamassassin/ as it looks like the local rules dir is set =/root/perl5/etc/mail/spamassassin as below and I cannot find a way to change it does anyone know of one ?



[root at changeme Mail-SpamAssassin-3.4.0]# spamassassin -D --lint
May 20 18:45:43.244 [25041] dbg: logger: adding facilities: all
May 20 18:45:43.244 [25041] dbg: logger: logging level is DBG
May 20 18:45:43.244 [25041] dbg: generic: SpamAssassin version 3.4.0
May 20 18:45:43.244 [25041] dbg: generic: Perl 5.014004, PREFIX=/root/perl5, DEF_RULES_DIR=/root/perl5/share/spamassassin, LOCAL_RULES_DIR=/root/perl5/etc/mail/spamassassin, LOCAL_STATE_DIR=/root/perl5/var/spamassassin

Thank you.
Philip Parsons

Hi Philip,

I think you can change this.

grep LOCAL_STATE_DIR `which spamassassin`

The option is in your /bin/spamassassin file, or where ever you have it installed. Mine is /usr/local/bin/spamassassin as I am on freebsd.

Thanks,
Rich

grep LOCAL_STATE_DIR `which spamassassin`

I think what the OP wants to change is LOCAL_RULES_DIR. I.e.,

my $LOCAL_RULES_DIR = '/etc/mail/spamassassin';

[Philip Parsons]

So I have changed that in the file do I need to do something else before it works ? because after the change I run the --lint and it still shows the old location...

Rather than making that file change, why not just create a symlink

/root/perl5/etc/mail/spamassassin -> /etc/mail/spamassassin

[Philip Parsons]

It is not the spamassassin file that is the problem it is that it does not find the mailscanner.cf file within the folders...
