An older version of SpamBlocker is included in DirectAdmin at no charge. It has some problems with whitelisting.

The latest version of SpamBlocker is offered here (http://www.nobaloney.net/downloads/spamblocker/DirectAdmin/).

It fixes the whitelisting bugs and also creates more intuitive bounce messages.

You can download it and install it yourself (don't forget to study the README file as you have to make some changes to your /etc/virtual filesystem and also some changes to the new exim.conf file as well).

Or you can purchase the SpamBlocker Plugin and it will do the upgrade for you; look for information in this post (http://www.directadmin.com/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=10049).

WIth either version of SpamBlocker the plugin can manage the files and set up domains to use SpamBlocker. Without the plugin you'll have to manage the /etc/virtual/use_rbl_domains file yourself.

with the plugin , i need do something in ssh ???

No, the plugin manages everything from the Control Panel, including the original install if required, updating if required, and install and turning on/off of SpamAssassin as well.

Hi, I have set up my server using the Mailscanner, clamav how to guide at http://directadmin.com/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=1187
I want to use spamblocker. The exim.conf was modified by adding the following lines in the main part of the configuration:

spool_directory = /var/spool/exim.in
queue_only = true
queue_only_override = false
log_file_path = /var/spool/exim/msglog/%slog

Should I add the lines as well to the spamblocker exim.conf and leave the spam assassin part commented as it is invoked by MailScanner, or is it better to uncomment the spam assassin lines in spamblocker.conf and remove it from mailscanner.conf?

or am I being clueless?


:(

Anyone ?? :confused:

[nobaloney]

The reason I haven't answered is because I don't believe in using Mailscanner with exim.

So my response would be prejudiced.

I guess you're on your own :) .
