SA, DCC & rules du jour

[Vernon Webb <ve...@comp-wiz.com>]

Not sure if I'm posting to the right list for this or not bvut since SA is the one not 
co-operating I figured I'd try here first.

I have the latest versions SA and DCC both installed on a Fedora Core 4 system and am 
trying to install rules du jour but it won't let me get past the lint test. The 
following is the error I'm getting which confuses me as the dccproc is where it states 
it should be.

[root@morgan rules_du_jour]# ./install.sh
Running SpamAssassin lint test
[13007] warn: config: failed to parse line, skipping: dcc_path /usr/local/bin/dccproc
[13007] warn: config: failed to parse line, skipping: dcc_path /usr/local/bin/dccproc
[13007] warn: lint: 2 issues detected, please rerun with debug enabled for more 
information
SpamAssassin lint test failed
Please resolve exiting problems with SpamAssassin configuration and try again

Any one have any ideas? Thanks

The last part?  It means that SA ships with DCC dissabled, and the file that
does that is /etc/mail/spamassassin/v310.pre :
...
# DCC is disabled here because it is not open source.  See the DCC
# license for more details.
#
#loadplugin Mail::SpamAssassin::Plugin::DCC
...

Yes on both accounts, also enable the relevant part in v310.pre .

You probably also have MailScanner installed, the warning is about a line in
mailscanner.cf (which usually is a link to $MS/etc/spam.assassin.prefs.conf).

I'm not sure, I think I saw something like this once and corrected it by just
changing the path (if you have the dcc binary somewhere else).  But this may not
be necessary with the latest MS which has the line in the warning inside an if
expression that tests for the existence of the plugin.

Other places to check: Is DCC enabled in v310.pre?
