Using Pyzor with SpamAssassin

Source: http://atmail.com/view_article.php?num=285

Description
Pyzor is a collaborative, networked system to detect and block spam using identifying digests of messages. You can use this along with SpamAssassin to identify spam for incoming mail.

To use Pyzor with SpamAssassin, just run through the following steps:

- download the pyzor source from http://pyzor.sourceforge.net

% wget http://domain.com/pyzor-x.x.x.tar.bz2


- unzip, untar:

% tar xvfj pyzor-x.x.x.tar.bz2

- setup, and install:

% cd pyzor-x.x.x
% python setup.py build
% python setup.py install

- run pyzor 'discover' to download Pyzor server locations:

% pyzor discover

- afterwards, create a dummy text file called 'foo.txt'. test Pyzor by running the following:

% /usr/local/atmail/spamassassin/bin/spamassassin -D <>
- in the text dump that will follow, you should see the following:

debug: Pyzor is available: /usr/bin/pyzor

Pyzor will then be integrated into your installation.
