To enable Spamassassin on your server, you need to first need to install it. Once installed a few minor changes are needed in your /etc/exim.conf file.


1) Install spamd and spamc:

cd /usr/local/directadmin/scripts ./spam.sh

2) Start the spamd:

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

3) In order to get exim to use the spamd program, you'll need to make some changes in your /etc/exim.conf. Change:

# Spam Assassin #spamcheck_director: #  driver = accept #  condition = "${if and { \ #      {!def:h_X-Spam-Flag:} \ #      {!eq {$received_protocol}{spam-scanned}} \ #      {!eq {$received_protocol}} \ #      {exists{/home/${lookup{$domain}lsearch{/etc/virtual/domainowners}{$value}}/.spamassassin/user_prefs}} \ #      {<{$message_size}} \ #    } }" #  retry_use_local_part #  transport = spamcheck #  no_verify

to

# Spam Assassin spamcheck_director:   driver = accept   condition = "${if and { \       {!def:h_X-Spam-Flag:} \       {!eq {$received_protocol}{spam-scanned}} \       {!eq {$received_protocol}} \       {exists{/home/${lookup{$domain}lsearch{/etc/virtual/domainowners}{$value}}/.spamassassin/user_prefs}} \       {<{$message_size}} \     } }"   retry_use_local_part   transport = spamcheck   no_verify

4) Restart exim:

Redhat:

/sbin/service exim restart

FreeBSD:

/usr/local/etc/rc.d/exim restart

The global spamassassin config file is in /etc/mail/spamassassin/local.cf

You'll want to make sure that you have the correct call to spamc in the spamcheck transport in your exim.conf:

transport_filter = /usr/bin/spamc -u ${lookup{$domain}lsearch*{/etc/virtual/domainowners}{$value}}

If you run debian and are missing perl or some pm files, type:

apt-get install perl-base perl-modules
