To view the compile options on an existing installation of dspam use this command:


dspam --version




Compile Options

Note: these are the compile options I typically use. There are many more options to suit other needs

--sysconfdir=/etc/dspam \
--enable-daemon \
--enable-clamav \
--with-storage-driver=mysql_drv \
--with-mysql-libraries=/usr/lib/mysql \
--with-mysql-includes=/usr/include/mysql \
--enable-virtual-users \
--enable-preferences-extension \
--enable-domain-scale \
--enable-debug \
--with-logdir=/var/log/dspam


Down and Dirty Install


wget http://dspam.nuclearelephant.com/sources/dspam-3.X.X.tar.gz

tar -xvzf dspam-3.X.X.tar.gz
cd dspam-3.X.X


./configure \
--sysconfdir=/etc/dspam \
--enable-daemon \
--enable-clamav \
--with-storage-driver=mysql_drv \
--with-mysql-libraries=/usr/lib/mysql \
--with-mysql-includes=/usr/include/mysql \
--enable-virtual-users \
--enable-preferences-extension \
--enable-domain-scale \
--enable-debug \
--with-logdir=/var/log/dspam


make && make install


Then set File Permissions and edit /etc/dspam.conf as needed


File Permissions

File permissions can drive you nutz when installing dspam. Here are a few tips.

1. Create a 'dspam' user and 'dspam' group
2. change ownership of all dspam files to be owned by dspam.dspam

chown dspam.dspam dspam_files

3. set the sticky bit (SUID) for the dspam executable (/usr/local/bin/dspam)

chmod 1540 /usr/local/bin/dspam

4. set the correct file permissions of all of the dspam files see DSpam File Permissions
