Re: Spamassassin 3.0 with mimedefang 2.37
Thanks to all who replied. Unfortunately it appears that I'll have to update more than I wanted at one time. It does, however, seem worth the effort, based on the testing that I've been doing with SA 3.0. It's tagging about 50% of the mail that is passing all of my filters with with SA 2.6, and hand checking about 22,000 messages, it appears to be doing a very accurate job of this.

Yes, it does make sense for MIMEDefang to list what version of SpamAssassin is supported. I do not use amavisd, but will assume the same statement applies. It doesn't, however, make sense for the inverse. There's probably no more reason for SpamAssassin to list what version of MIMEDefang is needed than there is for Perl to list what version of SpamAssassin to use. The good news is (and has already been reported here) that MIMEDefang does have this information listed: V2.42 and higher. -- Doug Brott

We'll just make a wiki entry and naturally the popular software will be updated with info on 3.0 compatibility. -- Luke Computer Science System Administrator Security Administrator,College of Engineering Montana State University-Bozeman,Montana

So long as our notes state that we don't actively follow the development of the other software, so they should be consulted, blah blah blah.

The UPGRADE file goes into this to some extent. It doesn't mention MIMEDefang by name, but the second paragraph points out that SA's API has changed, and that if you use a third-party program to call it, you'll need to upgrade to a version that supports the new API. (Developers: It might be worth mentioning the minimum 3.0-compatible versions for MD, Amavis, and other popular things-that-call-SA.) Does anyone know of any problems running SA 3.0 from MD 2.37? Support for SA 3.0 was added in MD 2.42, so you'll need to upgrade at least to that version (though of course upgrading to the latest and greatest is recommended!) -- Kelson Vibber SpeedGate Communications

According to the ChangeLog, the first MD release to support the SA 3.0 API was 2.42. Alex
Spamassassin 3.0 with mimedefang 2.37
I am working to upgrade spamassassin, from 2.60 to 3.0, on my RedHat 8 Mailserver. I'm currently running mimedefang 2.37. I have found no references to a required version of Mimedefang in the docs, and would like to avoid changing the entire world at once. Does anyone know of any problems running SA 3.0 from MD 2.37?
