    I'm trying to setup some exim spam protection using the advice taken from cpanel's forum

    and
    Problems:

    root@server [/etc/cron.d]# sh installRDJ.pl
    installRDJ.pl: line 32: use: command not found
    installRDJ.pl: line 33: use: command not found
    installRDJ.pl: line 35: my: command not found
    installRDJ.pl: line 36: syntax error near unexpected token `('
    installRDJ.pl: line 36: `my %configOptions = ();'

    How do I install / apply the "rules" from http://www.rulesemporium.com/rules.htm also? Where do they go?

    Is this a good idea too?

    .pl means its a perl script. Try
    Code:
    perl installRDJ.pl
    However, if this is a production environment I would definitely recommend hiring someone to do it, or least walk you through it. 500 accounts suddenly losing email is never a good thing!

    With that script you can tell it where the SA directory is using directive sa_dir=location at the command line.
    Code:
    perl installRDJ.pl -sa_dir=/path/to/SA
    I still recommend checking out Chirpy's MailScanner over this version though. That script was written mostly for Plesk users, so if you don't know what you're doing you're on your own!

    If you are not sure how to execute a .pl file definately hire someone, your clients will appreciate a professional mail filtering setup and service that actually works.

    i have nothing against hiring, but yet, in my opinion if you are used to do all this by yourself, you can give it a go, and if you see that you are stucked on something, definitely hire someone professional to do it.

    i mean ... the worst you can do is have mail down for 15 30 minutes ? then if you see it's not working just reset exim to defaults and hire the man to do it.

    i have my vote on chirpy too.
