I've been trying to get spamassassin working globally on a FC3 box I have leased from a hosting provider. I have full root access and have used that to upgrade mysql and php with yum from art's repo (THANKS!). However my plesk license key doesn't support spamassassin and I have been trying to get it working through qmail-scanner. I installed qmail-scanner and it is checking the messages normally because I see the tag it appends to the email headers. However when I add spamassassin to the array of installed scanners in the qmail-scanner-queue.pl file my qmail-queue log gives me this error and the email never reaches its destination.

Requeuing: Undefined subroutine &main::spamassassin_alt called at /var/qmail/bin/qmail-scanner-queue.pl line 1548.

Spamassassin 3.1.0-4 is installed and a check of the service spamassassin shows that spamd is running. Also the startup logs tell me that spamassassin is starting up fine. Is there something more I need to install to get qmail-scanner to work with spamassassin?

Thanks,

You don't need to add spamassassin manually. Just run qmail-scanner-reconfigure while spamd is running (and for instance clamd if you want to use that too) and it should work.

You can also go into the /usr/share/qmail-scanner directory and run ./configure there with the desired options (see ./configure --help).

Thanks for your help. I tried running the qmail-scanner-reconfigure and it never added spamassassin so I thought that maybe something was wrong with the spamassassin install. I removed and reinstalled it with yum. Added spamassassin back to the default runlevels and then reran qmail-scanner-reconfigure. It found spamassassin and added it to the scanners and now everything works. Thanks for the tip.
