I use assp as  my spam / mail virus solution since a year, with excellent results (beter than spam assassin IMHO)
stops spam before reaching your server or using your bandwith
You can check it at http://assp.sourceforge.net
there was an sme install script contrib, dont remember where... (maybe a search)
Just a excellent piece of software. (again IMHO)

It looks that Date::Manip is unable to determine the Time Zone of the computer it's install, so it cannot calculate today's date!

I have tried setting the timezone:
ex: Date_Init("TZ=CDT");

Does anyone knows where the sme timezone is stored?

Found the solution: in usr/bin/spamfilter-stats.pl
 and /usr/bin/antivirus-stats.pl add the following lines at the end of the configuration section.

$opt{'timezone'} = date +%Z;

Date_Init("TZ=$opt{'timezone'}");

Hello everyone
I have same problem as HAJ and I´m on Brasil (timezone=BRT).

Using HAJ tips:
"
Found the solution: in usr/bin/spamfilter-stats.pl
and /usr/bin/antivirus-stats.pl add the following lines at the end of the configuration section.
$opt{'timezone'} = date +%Z;
Date_Init("TZ=$opt{'timezone'}");
"

I have tried put those lines on antivirus AND spamfilter -stats.pl files.
My server was reinstalled 2 weekend ago so all files were updated... but just my antivirus-stats.pl file had those 2 lines.
Even with those lines the script do not run ok.
So I decided to give a HARD try: started Date_Init with CDT value (don´t know WHERE is CDT timezone... but I don´t care! )

A few seconds after manually run the script I got an e-mail with this on first lines:

Period Beginning : Mon 28 Mar 2005 09:45:08 AM BRT
Period Ending    : Tue 29 Mar 2005 09:45:08 AM BRT

So I don´t know WHY this is working but appears to be working!!

Can someone  explain ? Thanks

I have installed Anti V and Spam from the scripts at Jesper's site and I am not having any joy at all getting it going. If I scan outward mail, the server wont accept mail from the client.

The scripts seemed to run smoothly.

Tha amavis log is empty. I am not sure where to go next. Any suggestions welcolme

It is a freshly installed server V6.0.1

[p-jones]

A bit more - when installing the spam filter it hates this line:

/sbin/e-smith/db spamassassin_V3 set wbl.global $spamwbl

[p-jones]

I fixed this - the permissions on var/log/amavis_ng.log were wrong. Dont know if it was just my system or script bug. Given I could find little in the lists, I suspect my system.
