This article called Enhance Your Mail Server With ASSP (Anti-Spam SMTP Proxy)
http://howtoforge.com/antispam_smtp_proxy
shows how to install ASSP on a linux server.

on my fedora core 5 server I installed the assp
into /home/assp
on a freebsd 7.0 server assp is installed by default into
/usr/local/lib/assp


It is quite easy to install.
The main point I found was that you make sendmail look at 127.0.0.1 port 25 and the ASSP program looks at the servers external ip address port 25
This way ASSP and SENDMAIL can coexist on the same server.

I edit /etc/mail/sendmail.mc
checked the line has Addr=127.0.0.1 in it
DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Port=smtp,Addr=127.0.0.1, Name=MTA-local')dnl

if you changed the sendmail.mc file rebuild the sendmail.cf file with
make -C /etc/mail

Then in the assp use the 127.0.0.1:25 as the SMTP Destination and the listen port as the external ip address of the server port 25

smtpDestination:=127.0.0.1:25
listenPort:=123.123.123.183:25

Network Setup

SMTP Destination 127.0.0.1:25 The internal Postfix

V As a Daemon Check the box

Listen Port 123.123.123.123:25 The spam proxy

when running

Code: Select all

perl -MCPAN -e shell

Fedora
If you are getting a ‘Can’t locate CPAN.pm in @INC’ error while opening cpan, you have not installed Bundle::Cpan. You can do that without Cpan - using yum

Code: Select all

yum install perl-CPAN
