Hi, I've installed spamassassin has it's explain in the documentation and I'm having an issue at this step: chkconfig --add spamass-milter. When I'm doing this command I'm getting this: "error reading information on service spamass-milter: No such file or directory". Does someone understand what is going wrong with spamass-milter or with chkconfig?

Thanks

You need to install the spamassassin milter. On Red Hat/CentOS I use the one from the RPMForge repository, but it will depend on what you are running.

I forgot to say that I'm using Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.2 (Tikanga)

Thanks

And yes Spamass-milter has been install, I've used the source from this website: http://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/spamass-milt/ since there's no official release from redhat that I can install with yum.

Thanks

okay....

if spamass-milter is installed then you'll get info from a "rpm -qi spamass-milter" and you should have a .....

ls -la /etc/init.d/spamass-milter
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1578 Jun 16 2006 /etc/init.d/spamass-milter

This is the startup script for spamass-milter and when you do a chkconfig --add spamass-milter it expects to see this file.

Permissions are important, The startup script needs to be executable, i.e. 755 permissions.

It's working now, thanks for the help.
