Spamd install/reinstall problem

@http://redmine.pfsense.org/repositories/revision/2/06df02b0a5c625ef994144cb1140b953ffb14d86:

I am fed up with receiving persnonal emails and forum messages that read along the lines of:

"You don't need to be so unpleasant and arrogant

Is money and commercial support the only way to have correct support on this bullshit forum"

yeah, i saw that, thanks. i was trying to figure out what precipitated all of this, but this leaves me not much wiser :(

So one member of the pfSense forum pisses off Ullrich and he retaliates by denying thousands of pfSense users the ability to install Spamd? Wow. Just wow.

The SpamD package was broken in 1.2.3 and there wasn't a user interested in fixing it. That's why the package was removed. A user being a belligerent jerk is secondary.

danswartz

Thanks, this is the first we had heard of this. What specifically was broken? Is it only 1.2.3 it is broken in? If it is general breakage, I might be interested in trying to fix it…

Guest

As I understand, it was broken in 1.2.3, although I had stopped using the package long before then so I can't say what was broken or when. If you want to take on the package, rock it out.

danswartz

Not much point, now that I think about it. 1.2.3 is basically not taking fixes, as I understand it.

Packages are entirely separate. There's no reason you can't restore the spamd package and ensure that it will work with 2.0.

I'll try and get it working tomorrow evening since I'm reluctant to do stuff like this by remote since I might screw something up and have to go there anyway.
I had some problems once when the alt_pkg.php didn't quite wanna work when the PFS gui wasn't on port 80 so I have to change that and stay alert not to lock myself out with squid running on port 80.

As I understand I'll try to get it working the same way I did with nTop. Hope it's similar.

Thanks for the help and I'll check back.

Bye

Strange… I'm using SpamD since PFS 1.2. Now it works on 1.2.3. I'm can't see where it's broken?..
And it's also strange, that just 1 troll can ruin this great package. If he will continue to blame on other packages, do they going to be removed too?

Hi,

tried installing the package manually but didn't have any success. I kept getting a local 127.0.0.1 xml could not be loaded. I'll try again in a few days but I'm a little apprehensive since I might screw up something in the process and then have to clean that up as well. ;D

Has anyone had any success loading packages with alt pkg? Cause I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong or not.

Thanks and bye

Hi

Are there any news on that? spamd is a "must have" for me… Is there anything I can help? I'm not a programmer, but testing etc.

Bye,

It seems to be enabled on 2.0, though I don't know if it's currently working.
