Issue Spamassassin's sa-compile and Mail::SpamAssassin::CompiledRegexp missing

[tkalfaoglu]

Hi.. My new server's obsidian on Centos 8 came without the sa-compile binary.

Well, I copied it from the old server and compiled the spamassassin headers.
However, upon starting spamd complains of:

Can't locate Mail/SpamAssassin/CompiledRegexps/body_0.pm in @INC (you may need to install the Mail::SpamAssassin::CompiledRegexps:
:body_0 module) (@INC contains: /var/lib/spamassassin/compiled/5.026/3.004004 /var/lib/spamassassin/compiled/5.026/3.004004/auto lib /usr/share/perl5/vendor_perl /usr
/local/lib64/perl5 /usr/local/share/perl5 /usr/lib64/perl5/vendor_perl /usr/lib64/perl5 /usr/share/perl5) at (eval 1948) line 1.

I tried a few CPAN commands, like install Mail::SpamAssassin::CompiledRegexps , but they all failed. Is there a correct way to enable compiled rules?

Many thanks, -turgut

SOLVED -- I simply wrote a two-liner...

PERL_MM_OPT='' sa-compile -D
cp -R /root/perl5/var/spamassassin/compiled/* /var/lib/spamassassin/compiled/

PS: Make sure to enable

loadplugin Mail::SpamAssassin::Plugin::Rule2XSBody

in the /etc/mail/spamassassin/local.cf

Don't copy the binary across servers. Just install the proper package. I'm guessing that you are on Debian or Ubuntu as it has its own package:

apt-get install sa-compile

Unfortunately it's Centos 8 as I mentioned there is no sa-compile..

Sorry I understand. I guess Redhat decided to remove it from the default spamassassin package that comes with the OS.

Had the same error on my...
OS: Ubuntu 20.04.5 LTS | Product: Plesk Obsidian 18.0.49

This is how the error looks like in the logfile (/var/log/mail.err):

Seams the service is running and working..

The mentioned package is already installed:

sa-compile is already the newest version (3.4.4-1ubuntu1.1).

Also tried to enter the following in /etc/mail/spamassassin/local.cf without success.

loadplugin Mail::SpamAssassin::Plugin::Rule2XSBody

Found this Post on a German speaking Website Linux: SpamAssassin Can't locate CompiledRegexps - Maffert.net and was able to fix the Problem!

This is what I did:

# Checking if the packages are installed
sudo apt install re2c sa-compile

# Update and compile the SpamAssassin Rules
sa-update
sa-compile

# Restart SpamAssassin service
systemctl restart spamassassin.service

# Check if the error is still present
tail -f /var/log/maillog
tail -f /var/log/mail.err

Actually I also remove

loadplugin Mail::SpamAssassin::Plugin::Rule2XSBody

from /etc/mail/spamassassin/local.cf - seams this is not needed in any case.


It is what I see (in /var/log/maillog) now when the spamassissin.service is restarted:

Feb 16 09:38:58 hosting spamd[130025]: spamd: server killed by SIGTERM, shutting down

...looks good to me.

This is what I did:

# Checking if the packages are installed
sudo apt install re2c sa-compile

# Update and compile the SpamAssassin Rules
sa-update
sa-compile

# Restart SpamAssassin service
systemctl restart spamassassin.service

Thanks!
this fixed it for me too on Ubuntu 20.04, Plesk 18.0.50 Update #2
