There have been several postings about interesting issues when upgrading perl major numbers on FreeBSD that affect amavisd-new and SA.
Normal procedures MAY leave amavisd-new, SA unusable. Normal procedures for upgrade might include this statement: portuprade -R amavisd-new rehash perl-after-upgrade Modules that might be included may also include the newly released perl 5.8.8. Symptoms might include the error 'Module Syslog' not found. To fix this, try the '-f' flag to perl-after-upgrade: perl-after-upgrade -f. That seems to fix it for me on a FBSD 5.4, perl 5.8.7 -> 5.8.8 was included in the amavisd-new upgrade. FBSD 4.xx causes on more interesting issue: When perl 5.8.x is upgrade to 5.8.8, it sets the perl back to base (non ports ) system. You will need to issue: 'use.perl port' after perl is upgrade. Better yet: Manually upgrade perl first, then issue: use.perl port (on 4.xx because updating perl sometimes puts it back to 4.x's perl 5.0) cd /usr/local/etc/mail/p5-Mail-SpamAssassin make config (select new options, razor/relay-ip, etc) cd /usr/local/etc/security/amavisd-new make config (double check options) cp -p /usr/local/etc/mail/spamassassin/v310.pre /tmp/v310.pre portupgrade -R amavisd-new rehash perl-after-upgrade perl-after-upgrade -f cp -p cp -p /tmp/v310.pre /usr/local/etc/mail/spamassassin/v310.pre /etc/rc.d/amavisd restart (on 5.4) or /usr/local/etc/rc.d/amavisd.sh restart on 4.11 You may have to redo your /usr/local/etc/mail/spamassassin/v310.pre file as earlier versions of SA might not preserve it. -- Michael Scheidell, CTO 561-999-5000, ext 1131 SECNAP Network Security Corporation Keep up to date with latest information on IT security: Real time security alerts: http://www.secnap.com/news ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that extends applications into web and mobile media.
