Topic: Spamfilter Error: Cannot add WBL entry

[edhamlin]

Help! I'm running SME Server 6.0.1-01, and using the e-smith-USA module, keep the spamfilter updated. Ever since I upgrade from 6.0 I have not been able to add WBL entries -- I get a "Server Misconfiguration" page. From the httpd-admin error log:

I wondered if anyone else has seen this and what you were able to do about it.

Thanks

If you're having a problem with the operation of a contrib, you're best to report the problem to the contrib author.

In general, I agree with Charlie's comment, but in this particular case I know the answer & it's to do with some of the updates you've applied.

You'll need to downgrade to the following packages (they should be on the SME 6.0.1 CD):

e-smith-email-4.14.0-07.noarch.rpm
e-smith-lib-1.14.0-10.noarch.rpm

That will allow the spamfilter panel to work.

Thanks very much! That was quite helpful. Works fine now!

(And generally I agree with Charlie, too, but I was under the impression (for whatever reason) that e-smith-USA was part of the basic server. Sorry about that!

Unfortunately this also killed smtp authentication, which I need to interface to my ISP's mail server. Any suggestions there?  I have tried the qmail authentication noted on the "Documentation" part of this website but it doesn't work.
