Try the above link...spamassasin works like a charm.  
Make sure you install this first. http://www.star-support.com/downloads/mitel/contrib/user-manager/dmc-version.

I have this installed on an SME5.6U2 server.
It is deflecting quite a bit of Spam before it ever hits my server.
ftp://ftp.e-smith.org/pub/e-smith/contrib/CharlieBrady/RPMS/noarch/e-smith-mailfront-1.0.0-02rbl.noarch.rpm

There are log files that can be viewed and a config file that can be modified to add/remove rbl lists.  The following thread gives some information:

I have never installed it on 5.5 but if you search the forum I think there were some people that installed on 5.5.

Cheers,

Jehu.

The spamassassin contrib from Greg Zartman does not work on v5.5 due to differences between 5.5 and 5.6.

I have it working on 5.6 OK though.

For 5.5 see this thread

Hallo,

Following the advices above, I was trying to "tar -xf sme-spamassassin.tgz" and got this message:

**********************
tar: This does not look like a tar archive
tar: Skipping to next header
tar: Archive contains obsolescent base-64 headers
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors
*******************************

I missed something ?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Best regards,
JeanBa

Put an Z in your option: tar -zxvf ....
This file is TGZ (=tar + GZIP) so you NEED do a Gunzip before (Z option do that!)

I remove the z option and that seems to work.

Good Luck,

Jehu.
