And it is not spamassassin.exe, it is spamassassin.BAT and it must be in the Perl/Bin folder The SA folder in xmail is only for logs and temp.... nothing else. -------------------- ________________________________________________________________________________ --= Running XMail Server 1.22 on Windows 2003 Virtual Server Since 16 August 2006 =-- [--- Ran Xmail on 2000 Server till Aug 2006 ---] [--- 1.21 From 21 June 2005 till 15 Jan 2006---] [--- 1.20 From 20 July 2004 till 21 June 2005---] [--- 1.17 From 20 October 2003 till 20 July 2004---]

I got compiled SA from here

Also, you can download SpamAssassin for Windows (Win32), a native Windows build of spamassassin and spamd/spamc command-line tools. (Especially useful on mail servers.)

[SOLVED]

The version that is explained here is the "RAW" SA and not the Compiled SA (for windows) that is discribed in the last few post in this topic. The links and discription posted by Yukka -------------------- ________________________________________________________________________________ --= Running XMail Server 1.22 on Windows 2003 Virtual Server Since 16 August 2006 =-- [--- Ran Xmail on 2000 Server till Aug 2006 ---] [--- 1.21 From 21 June 2005 till 15 Jan 2006---] [--- 1.20 From 20 July 2004 till 21 June 2005---] [--- 1.17 From 20 October 2003 till 20 July 2004---]

I dont know enough about perl or compiling things, so I went with the precompiled version for windows. Having said that, I understand that this thread was started with the idea that the individual admins would go the compile route. Would it be prudent to suggest at this time that maybe another thread dealing with the pre-compiled spamassassin downloads be created by someone? Anyone with experience doing this with the pre-compiled version?

Guru Group: Members Posts: 747 Member No.: 375 Joined: 29-November 02	The process i discribe is straight forward. If you follow the instructions then you should not run into any problems. Did u download nmake15.exe and renamed it to nmake.exe and copied it to the perl/bin folder? If this is not done your will have problems. I also assume u running htis on win32 platform? I have followed this prosedure and installed this on XP ,2000 and 2003 server with no hassels. You can start a new thread for the precompield version and place all your Q's there. -------------------- ________________________________________________________________________________ --= Running XMail Server 1.22 on Windows 2003 Virtual Server Since 16 August 2006 =-- [--- Ran Xmail on 2000 Server till Aug 2006 ---] [--- 1.21 From 21 June 2005 till 15 Jan 2006---] [--- 1.20 From 20 July 2004 till 21 June 2005---] [--- 1.17 From 20 October 2003 till 20 July 2004---]

Newbie Group: Members Posts: 12 Member No.: 2239 Joined: 4-September 06	None of the following commands worked for me: ppm install Win32-Registry-File ppm install Net-DNS ppm install DB_File ppm install Time-HiRes ppm install IP-Country ppm install Mail-SPF-Query All returned a "no suitable installation target found for package ..." error. I did get and place and rename where appropriate the nmake files before I tried the ppm installs. Might be time to run a new thread.

Guru Group: Members Posts: 747 Member No.: 375 Joined: 29-November 02	See my Previous post on another way to do ppm installs. Try to run: ppm install Win32-Registry-File ppm install Net-DNS ppm install DB_File ppm install Time-HiRes ppm install IP-Country ppm install Mail-SPF-Query And if that does not work in the PPM Manager, the just remove the ppm in front and use only the install command: install Win32-Registry-File install Net-DNS install DB_File install Time-HiRes install IP-Country install Mail-SPF-Query That should do it Thanx BooT -------------------- ________________________________________________________________________________ --= Running XMail Server 1.22 on Windows 2003 Virtual Server Since 16 August 2006 =-- [--- Ran Xmail on 2000 Server till Aug 2006 ---] [--- 1.21 From 21 June 2005 till 15 Jan 2006---] [--- 1.20 From 20 July 2004 till 21 June 2005---] [--- 1.17 From 20 October 2003 till 20 July 2004---]

When I did a search for it and the others, not all them were listed. I tried the ones I could find and got the same error anyway. I am open to other suggestions.

I use Active Perl 5.8 MSI installer package. The PC you doing this on, does it have internet access. PPM Install upgrades are downloaded from the internet. If all else fails, Uninstall Perll and reinstall it. your problem is with Perl. -------------------- ________________________________________________________________________________ --= Running XMail Server 1.22 on Windows 2003 Virtual Server Since 16 August 2006 =-- [--- Ran Xmail on 2000 Server till Aug 2006 ---] [--- 1.21 From 21 June 2005 till 15 Jan 2006---] [--- 1.20 From 20 July 2004 till 21 June 2005---] [--- 1.17 From 20 October 2003 till 20 July 2004---]

Newbie Group: Members Posts: 12 Member No.: 2239 Joined: 4-September 06	Maybe I should point out that I am using Windows 2000, SP4 with ActivePerl .8.7.813-MSWin32-x86-148120

Guru Group: Members Posts: 747 Member No.: 375 Joined: 29-November 02	I am using : ActivePerl-5.8.6.811-MSWin32-x86-122208.msi As far as i know and if i read the documentaion right of Spamassassin then the later versions of active perl does not work with SA. That is why i use ActivePerl-5.8.6.811-MSWin32-x86-122208.msi -------------------- ________________________________________________________________________________ --= Running XMail Server 1.22 on Windows 2003 Virtual Server Since 16 August 2006 =-- [--- Ran Xmail on 2000 Server till Aug 2006 ---] [--- 1.21 From 21 June 2005 till 15 Jan 2006---] [--- 1.20 From 20 July 2004 till 21 June 2005---] [--- 1.17 From 20 October 2003 till 20 July 2004---]

Newbie Group: Members Posts: 12 Member No.: 2239 Joined: 4-September 06	That might put a damper on things. I am in the process of removing the current version of Perl and will see if I can find the version you are indicating.
