getting lots of spam

[id10t]

I've started to get lots of Russian spam on my ISPConfig2 set up.

Anything I can do to eliminate it?

Have you tried to update to the latest spamassassin rules?

The errors for the 'required' includes as shown below make me think that while Spamassassin is updated, it isn't running properly... time to rtfm on installing perl modules I guess...

[till]

There is nothing missing, the modules listed there are optional addons for spamassassin, they are not required. The "require failed" is a technical term and means "Optional module not installed".

Spamasassin is fully installed and works fine, the relevant line is:

diag: updates complete, exiting with code 1

The above lines are just debug code which is enabled with the -D switch.
