Properly managing SpamAssassin. . .

[Kevin K.]

Managing plesk usually means that you really have to hand over your server
(or the jail that plesk creates) to plesk itself.

I've hacked and mangled plesk installations in order to merge other
technologies and custom solutions that I personally preferred -- and in the
end I concluded that it caused more headaches than it was worth.

As of plesk 8.1 I believe it creates its installation in a jailed
environment, so perhaps adding another jail to handle all the services you
don't want to purchase through plesk (i.e. spamassassin, clamav, or whatever
elese there is) may be the best way. 

That's my 0.2, perhaps someone else has a better solution though. Again,
changing or hacking a plesk installation is not a good idea, considering
their "windows update" style of submitting upgrades and patches.


Hope it helps.

Hi All,

I'm looking for a way to properly manage SpamAssassin after Plesk has  
wreaked havoc on the server.  In the short term, we need to keep  
Plesk around for those that need the "ease of use".  However, it  
wants to keep resetting values, etc; meaning that since the Plesk  
license doesn't support "SpamAssassin" it won't allow us to use it  
and wants it to remain that way.  If push comes to shove, I *will*  
blast Plesk.  That said, I need to figure out the proper way to  
enable SpamAssassin and have Qscan work properly, circumventing the  
Plesk activites and licensing limitations.  Does anyone have any  
quality insight into the most up-to-date means for accomplishing this?

Regards,
Michael
