Ive installed clam twice - v.easy & instant success: id like to add my thanks to Damien for his GREAT rpm and notes that made this possible.
I just installed a more 'up to date version' and it failed!
Now here we HAVE to take Damiens view that you get it for free - after a lot of work from others - and are responsible to gain knowledge to resolve problems if you want to start from these contributions.
FYI, the amavis-conf in the new version was quite different (use diff to find variations between one file and another), so I patched the new with obvious changes - like setting mailfilter.
In the end I ran out of time to fix it as people were (rightly) baying for email, so I searched the phorum (another fabulous resource - thanks Mitel and all contributors) for 'clam uninstall' and found how to reset the original mail setup - this is what we HAVE to do: think and solve!
In days long gone, proprietary software / hardware cost a lot, had few combinations that were strictly controlled and worked.
Now with open systems there is bound to be 'version clash': gee look at how much is added/changed with clam install!
Just because the install is simple, it changes a lot - you cannot just shut your eyes, type rpm.... and hope !
I hope Im not going on too long! This is not novice stuff, and Im no expert, but allowing that there is no such thing as a stupid question, first time - get expertise or get commercial products/support.
Damien is not 'getting mad' as users - he's limiting his provision of free service: and again thanks to you Damien.
Regards to fellow effort-mongers:
Im back to working out my problem....
