Noel, Thanks for the info. However, it looks like SpamAssassin has made some changes to spamd.raw in the later releases, and the referenced wiki instructions are no longer completely correct. I sent the following email to Arik, the writer of the wiki entry. But in the meantime, if anyone knows the fix, please provide info.
================================= I downloaded and installed v 3.1.4 yesterday. I made all the changes as described in your wiki page with one exception: >>>> 5. Further down, comment out the following line by adding a # in front of it: use Sys::Syslog qw(:DEFAULT setlogsock); This line no longer exists in the spamd.raw file. They've obviously changed it to something else. I am an experienced programmer. But I am not familiar with Perl. I know about the syslog problems with windows. I normally can figure out how to tweak instructions for a later release. But I'm lost on this one. I figure I still need to make some change to get rid of syslog. But I can't figure out what to do. Running it without any other change, I get missing library messages. I tried running spamd -s null, and get: [C:\Perl\bin]spamd -s null [3952] info: rules: meta test DIGEST_MULTIPLE has undefined dependency 'DCC_CHECK' [3952] warn: No such signal: SIGUSR2 at spamd.bat line 765. [3952] info: spamd: server started on port 783/tcp (running version 3.1.4) [3952] info: spamd: server pid: 3952 [3952] warn: Use of uninitialized value in pack at C:\Perl\site\lib/Mail/SpamAssassin/SpamdForkScaling.pm line 473.

[3952] error: Undefined subroutine &main::logmsg called at spamd.bat line 811. Undefined subroutine &main::logmsg called at spamd.bat line 811. Can you tell me what change to make with the latest version now that the Sys::Syslog line is no longer there? Thank you. Jerry -----Original Message----- From: Noel J.

See http://wiki.apache.org/spamassassin/SpamdOnWindows That's about as good as you'll get for MS-Windows, apparently. Alternatively, you could install VMware and run spamd in a VM. You run JAMES inside the VM, too. --- Noel --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
