Trying to get the above installed, and run into few problems till now:

1. dcc versions were different, went to the url and downloaded the latest and installed. - SOLVED
2. libdigest-sha1-perl version different, went to the url and tried to install, it failed. - PENDING

wget http://launchpadlibrarian.net/71207477/libdigest-sha1-perl_2.13-1build1_amd64.deb
dpkg -i libdigest-sha1-perl_2.13-1build1_amd64.deb

dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of libdigest-sha1-perl:

3. Postfix is giving an error while starting and stopping.

/usr/sbin/postconf: warning: /etc/postfix/main.cf: unused parameter: rbl_policy=reject_rbl_client zen.spamhaus.org, reject_rbl_client bl.spamcop.net
postfix/postfix-script: stopping the Postfix mail system


Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

 

anyone ???

 

wow... not even a single reply...

 

perlapi-5.12.3 is missing, you need that installed before libdigest will install.

Post your main.cf.

 

Hi,

Sorry didn't see this reply earlier. Are you still available to help on this ? Is there an updated guide on this ?

I am looking to filter both incoming and outgoing spam (separate machines, NOT inside one install). Will appreciate the help.

Thanks

 

You'd have to setup another spamsnake for outgoing mail, setup postfix main.cf with your mailserver ip in its mynetworks section, then tell your mailserver to use it as a smarthost.

If you have a powerful enough server, use a single box for everything.

 

Hi,

Is there an updated howto for installation of spamsnake ? The existing one doesn't work

Can it be installed on a debian/ centos instead of ubuntu ? We use debian/ centos all across, so would prefer to use them instead of ubuntu.

Thanks
