Input Upgrade to Spamassassin 3.4.4

[Josch]

The actual spamassassin supported from Plesk Obsidian 18.024 is version 3.4.2, which is already one and a half years old. A reasonable, preferably daily updated spam filtering should be a matter of course, therefore an early update to version 3.4.2 is highly desirable.

Even better would be an option that plesk finally supports the much more modern and powerful rspamd software.

The provision of optimal spam protection for everyone should be a matter of course with an otherwise so far developed software as plesk is.

Thanks a lot in advance.

it depends on the OS and not on Plesk.

That‘s correct but Plesk has implemented newer versions of different software in the past. We are running on Ubuntu 16.04LTS and you can install spamassassin 3.4.4 on that system. It is not in the repo (yeah they only support 3.4.2) but it is installable.

Because Plesk doesn't ship Spamassassin, it only downloads it from original OS vendor repo and it is quite likely it may be outdated there (especially for older OS). If your OS comes with Spamassassin 3.4.4, then Plesk would run Spamassassin 3.4.4 for clients:

# rpm -qa | grep spamassassin
spamassassin-3.4.0-5.el7_7.x86_64

# rpm -qi spamassassin | grep Vendor
Vendor : CentOS
