I am running 10.5.6 on a 1.83 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo Mac Mini with 3G

to the installation instructions, I need), and Perl from
ActiveState (which turns out, I don't need). With the imminent
release of 10.5.7, I'm assuming that ASSP will still work.
ASSP is more dependant on Perl than OSX
Did you download clamav as well?
As to the immediate results, can I assume that clients will
experience a temporary upsurge in spam with greylisting turned off
until ASSP gets enough spam? The reason I'm asking is that I have a
couple of clients that are very finicky and I've got to be ready
with an explanation to them.
What I would do is download the starter DB that I created and
described in the FAQ and turn off training mode immediately. Also
tell them that they can now also filter in their mail clients using
assp x headers. I would probably do the cutover early in the AM when
they are asleep. You can install all perl modules, assp (and starter
spamdb) and clamav in advance during the daytime just don't run
"/Applications/ASSP/osx/assp_osx_configure.app" or assp.pl until you
are ready to cut over. You can also run all the scripts in
EIMS_Support to configure backup flat files and the helo rejection
DB.
Then in the AM tell EIMS to change ports, remove CA2 and restart.
Then tell EIMS to stop accepting smtp, run assp_osx_configure.app,
start gui and turn off training verify all settings meet your needs
and then turn emis smtp on and monitor until you feel good and then
take a nap.
I plan to do this in the middle of the night. Should take about an hour, yes?
Much less than especially assuming that you preload the software and
review assp GUI setting options using the link from the faqs and you
can even review assp_osx_configure.app just click CANCEL when asked
for your home country or else you will complete the install
If you have any problems you can back out by removing
com.oitc.assp.plist from /Library/Startup Daemons
resetting EIMS to port 25 and 587 and turning back on rules and greylisting
adding back in CA2
Restart the computer
and you are back to original
