help pls... {Scanned by HJMS}

[Daniel Tan]

main problem is mailscanner complaining can't find spamassassin installation

for those having problems with spamassassin installations, please note the
following things

1) install SA using tar.gz , do not use rpm as it can't work....dunno for
what reason...a lot of MS users will tell you that....
2) if can't create Makefile.PL (complaining about can't find pod2man), this
is due to Lang settings
either change your Lang locale to en_US or do this export LANG=C

after this it can work!

i finally got MS working with SA again....think i better think twice about
upgrading perl through up2date again...this sucx!

Did you get help yet?  The reply-to on your message is set to you instead of
the list (not sure how that happens) so I can't tell whether you've A)
gotten no responses or B) gotten lots and lots of responses. :-)

Some suggestions / things to check:
1. Do you have a system backup you can restore to if this is an urgent
problem?
2. Is MailScanner still running (ps auxww | grep MailScanner).
3. Are the MailScanner processes continuously dying and respawning?
4. Are you out of drive space on any filesystem?
5. Were you having the problem *before* you tried upgrading?
6. Enable mailscanner debugging and see if you get anything more useful in
the log?
