Add Webmin to the system
 

I have ISPConfig installed on my fedora core 4 box. Haven't changed anything in a long time, everything works just fine. Except I get insane amount of SPAM. SpamAssassin lets it all through, gives most very little score, some even 0 - like those stock emails. I do have blacklists setup to help - i think 4-5 of them (like spamhaus), but i get about 100 emails a day of spam... ennoying))))
So since spamassassin cannot do it very well on its own - I want to help by setting up header/body checks. I know I can do it from SSH, but it's easier to have web interface to do such things.
So my question - is it ok to install Webmin on top of everything to manage SpamAssassin?

What setting do you have set for spamassassin?

Also, have you updated spamassassin's checks using sa-update?

Currently I'm rejecting ~2500 messages using a few custom RBLs, and about ~1500 messages using spamassassin. I'd say something could be wrong with your setup.

From when I used webmin you need to have spamassassin installed in the default location, whereas ISPConfig has it installed within the /home/ directory.

What settings are talking about?
I don't do any updates since I thought ISPConfig suppose to update SA by itself. Am I wrong? :)
WHere can I look at some statistics of how many|what gets rejected.


As far as I remember right, u can change the path for SA within Webmin.

Webmin and ISPConfig does not work well togehter, as webmin does not recognice the ISPConfig configuration well and you might destroy your setup when using webmin.

I recommend to install razor, pyzor ind dcc in a first step and enable it in the spamassassin configuration under /home/admispconfig/ispconfig/tools/spamassassin/

sa-update is not run by ISPconfig, but you will find it in the above path too.

Are there any other packages besides webmin that can manage spam assassin? Without interfearing with ISPConfig?

Also what is razor, pyzor anyway? :o

ANd how do I make SA update itself?

Actualy it's in: Running sa-update gives me an bash: sa-update: command not found error

When I run: ./sa-update in I get this error:

Archive/Tar.pm is a perl module. Please install this perl module from your linux distribution and try to run the command again.

Till,

This server is setup with the "The Perfect Setup - Debian Sarge (3.1)" howto.
Did I miss somethig with the setup, or is this "install this perl module" an extra thing that I need to do?

ISPConfig does not use the sa-update script, so it might be that this perl dependency is not covered by the howto.

Please run:

apt-get install libarchive-tar-perl

Okay, the did fix the problem.

After running "./sa-update", it created a new directory;
In this directory I see all the new downloaded "rules"

Is this all I need to do, or do I need to set something in a config file to use the new rules?
