Add Webmin to the system

I have ISPConfig installed on my fedora core 4 box. Haven't changed anything in a long time, everything works just fine. Except I get insane amount of SPAM. SpamAssassin lets it all through, gives most very little score, some even 0 - like those stock emails. I do have blacklists setup to help - i think 4-5 of them (like spamhaus), but i get about 100 emails a day of spam... ennoying))))
So since spamassassin cannot do it very well on its own - I want to help by setting up header/body checks. I know I can do it from SSH, but it's easier to have web interface to do such things.
So my question - is it ok to install Webmin on top of everything to manage SpamAssassin?

 

What setting do you have set for spamassassin?

Also, have you updated spamassassin's checks using sa-update?

Currently I'm rejecting ~2500 messages using a few custom RBLs, and about ~1500 messages using spamassassin. I'd say something could be wrong with your setup.

From when I used webmin you need to have spamassassin installed in the default location, whereas ISPConfig has it installed within the /home/ directory.

 

What settings are talking about?
I don't do any updates since I thought ISPConfig suppose to update SA by itself. Am I wrong?
WHere can I look at some statistics of how many|what gets rejected.


As far as I remember right, u can change the path for SA within Webmin.

 

Are there any other packages besides webmin that can manage spam assassin? Without interfearing with ISPConfig?

Also what is razor, pyzor anyway?

ANd how do I make SA update itself?

 

Actualy it's in:

Code:

/home/admispconfig/ispconfig/tools/spamassassin/usr/bin

Running sa-update gives me an bash: sa-update: command not found error

When I run: ./sa-update in

Code:

/home/admispconfig/ispconfig/tools/spamassassin/usr/bin

I get this error:

Code:

Can't locate Archive/Tar.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /home/admispconfig/ispconfig/tools/spamassassin/usr/share/perl/5.8.4 /etc/perl /usr/local/lib/perl/5.8.4 /usr/local/share/perl/5.8.4 /usr/lib/perl5 /usr/share/perl5 /usr/lib/perl/5.8 /usr/share/perl/5.8 /usr/local/lib/site_perl) at ./sa-update line 94.

Till,

This server is setup with the "The Perfect Setup - Debian Sarge (3.1)" howto.
Did I miss somethig with the setup, or is this "install this perl module" an extra thing that I need to do?

 

Okay, the

Code:

apt-get install libarchive-tar-perl

did fix the problem.

After running "./sa-update", it created a new directory;

Code:

/home/admispconfig/ispconfig/tools/spamassassin/usr/var/spamassassin/3.001007/updates_spamassassin_org/

In this directory I see all the new downloaded "rules"

Is this all I need to do, or do I need to set something in a config file to use the new rules?

 

I think this is sufficient, although I haven't tested it yet.

 

what if i get this:

Code:

# apt-get install libarchive-tar-perl 
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
E: Couldn't find package libarchive-tar-perl

How can I take care of this problem on my machine? (I run FC4)

 

Maybe it's called different for FC4?
Try "apt-cache search libarchive-tar", or "apt-cache search libarchive" and you should see all the available "libarchive" packages.

 

Didn't give me any results
Any other ideas?

 

How do you enable pyzer in sa-update file, where.
Add a line or something.

Thanks
bob

 

I am trying to update spamAssassin, but am apparently missing perl modules. Everything I could find on this forum says to do this:

Unfortunately, it can't find the package. so, next try this:

This is what I got:

So, I tried it:

Does anyone have any other ideas? I'm running SuSe 9.2. I'm doing this remotely, so I'm not sure how to find it with yast.

 

I did the following again:

then tried install ARCHIVE::TAR and got the following:

install Archive::TAR worked, but when I tried to update spamAssassin after that, I get the following:
