I'm currently hacking on Makefile.PL, trying to clean it up a (great) bit. The 
solution for the file name syntax is probably using File::Spec. But I don't 
know anything about the difference between the VMS and the Unix (Gnu?) 
Makefile syntax and which Unix commands Craig talks about (we almost 
everywhere use the Makefile.PL $()s). (And I don't have a VMS box to test on.) 
Could you point me in the right direction? 

The File::Spec route sounds good -- banish all slashes.  Be sure to use catdir when the result should be a directory and catfile when the result should be a file.  As far as the unixy stuff in the Makefile.PL, here are a couple of examples:

This is running an external shell script; can it be rewritten in Perl?

binaries.mk: configure
        ./configure

The for -> do -> done stuff is talking to the UNIX shell, not the make utility, as is the $$file variable interpolation.  If this can be done as a Perl one-liner, that would be great, but otherwise an external Perl script should do it:

inst_cfs: $(DEF_RULES_DIR) $(LOCAL_RULES_DIR) $(LOCAL_RULES_DIR)/local.cf
        $(RM_F) $(DEF_RULES_DIR)/*; \
        for file in $(RULES) ; do \
          $(PERL) build/preprocessor $(FIXVARS) <rules/$$file >$(DEF_RULES_DIR)/$$file; \
        done
        $(CHMOD) $(PERM_RW) $(DEF_RULES_DIR)/*

Other things to note.  Continuation lines don't use backslashes on other OS's, so you can't say

target : source
   $(PERL) foo.pl \
                   bar.dat

You have to put it all on one line or (preferably) break it up into multiple one-liners.  You can, however, use backslashes for continuation lines when they are only seen by the make utility and not the shell:

target : source1 \ 
               source2


The directive

    @foo

tells VMS to run a shell script called foo.com.  What you want is a space after the '@':
  
    @ foo

which will tell it to silently execute foo, but of course foo would still have to be a meaningful command to the shell.  And you should really use $(NOECHO) instead of @ anyway.  Be sure to look at the list of basic commands that MakeMaker provides macros for and use them, such as $(TOUCH) instead of touch.

If you can get the Makefile.PL to work properly on Win32 and UNIX without any special case code, then it will probably work on VMS or pretty close to it.  HTH.

I've just checked in some changes to Makefile.PL and the
build tools as suggested.  I've also added an "INSTALL.VMS"
doc, which reads:

Notes on building SpamAssassin on VMS
-------------------------------------

  - Firstly, do not do a default build; this will build a set of C components
    which currently use Autoconf to determine their dependencies, to build
    "spamc".

    Instead, run

        perl Makefile.PL
        make spamassassin

    If you want "spamc" I suggest you provide a replacement header and
    binaries.mk we can use, then we can special-case VMS in Makefile.PL to use
    those instead of running autoconf.

  - The generated Makefile.PL no longer relies on UNIX input/output
    redirection; /bin/sh "for" loops; @foo "silent" directives; backslashed
    continuations; or [ -f foo ] || somecommand conditionals.  At least, not in
    our code any more ;)

  - There are still some UNIX paths inside the generated Makefile:
    "rules/local.cf" for example.  Suggestions on how to work around this
    neatly inside the Makefile syntax while gaining VMS compatibility would be
    welcome!

  - "make test" will probably rely heavily on UNIX-style input and output
    redirection, so will probably still fail.

  - bug 1099 in the SA Bugzilla is being used to track progress.

        http://www.hughes-family.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=1099

downgrading and retitling to suit new status as a work-tracker
instead of a bug.

Finally got around to downloading MAIL-SPAMASSASSIN-2_50 and trying to build it
as per the new instructions.

Here is a log of the build this is with Perl v5.6.0 on Alpha VMS 7.3-1.

Tried this again and have got it to build correctly.
I had to get rid of the 

made-doc-stamp : doc $(MAN1PODS) $(MAN3PODS) $(EXTRAPODS)
         $(PERL) build/convert_pods_to_doc $(MAN1PODS) $(MAN3PODS) $(EXTRAPODS)

         $(TOUCH) made-doc-stamp
         $(RM_F) pod2htm*

lines. I also replaced the 

 PERL = MCR $255$dkb5:[perl-5_6_0]ndbgperl.exe
 FULLPERL = MCR $255$dkb5:[perl-5_6_0]ndbgperl.exe

with

 PERL = PERL
 FULLPERL = PERL

which works because the PERL symbol is setup on logging in anyway.

This overcame the problem of commandlines being too long.

The next problem was getting the user_prefs file copied across.

In spamassasin.pm I altered the line 


@default_prefs_path = (
        '__local_rules_dir__/user_prefs.template',
        '__prefix__/etc/mail/spamassassin/user_prefs.template',
        '__prefix__/share/spamassassin/user_prefs.template',
        '/etc/spamassassin/user_prefs.template',
        '/etc/mail/spamassassin/user_prefs.template',
        '/usr/local/share/spamassassin/user_prefs.template',
        '/usr/share/spamassassin/user_prefs.template',
 
to

@default_prefs_path = (
        '__local_rules_dir__/user_prefs.template',
        '__prefix__/etc/mail/spamassassin/user_prefs.template',
        '__prefix__/share/spamassassin/user_prefs.template',
        '/etc/spamassassin/user_prefs.template',
        '/etc/mail/spamassassin/user_prefs.template',
        '/usr/local/share/spamassassin/user_prefs.template',
        '/usr/share/spamassassin/user_prefs.template',
        '/perl_root/mail-SPAMASSASSIN-2_50/rules/user_prefs.template',

to give it somewhere to copy the files from.



I then altered the 

@default_userprefs_path = (
@default_userstate_dir = (

lines

to

@default_userprefs_path = (
        'sys$login_root:[spamassassin]user_prefs',
);

@default_userstate_dir = (
        'sys$login_root:[spamassassin]',
);


Where sys$login_root is something I setup in sylogin.com so that it is defined
everytime a user logs in using

$! setup a rooted logical corresponding to the user's login directory
$ a = f$parse("sys$login",,,,"no_conceal") - "][" - "].;" + ".]"
$ define/job/tran=(conc,term) sys$login_root "''a'"

Unfortunately VMS doesn't provide a default rooted logical like this pointing
at each user's home directory so I had to created one. (using a rooted logical
allows you to create sub-directories).
There is probably a much neater way of doing this.

I also added a line to

@default_rules_path = (

to give

@default_rules_path = (
        './rules',              # REMOVEFORINST
        '../rules',             # REMOVEFORINST
        '__def_rules_dir__',
        '__prefix__/share/spamassassin',
        '/usr/local/share/spamassassin',
        '/usr/share/spamassassin',
        '/perl_root/mail-SPAMASSASSIN-2_50/rules',
);
  
To allow it to find the rules if I'm not running it form the spamassasin
directory.


This works if I am in the 
perl_root:[mail-SPAMASSASSIN-2_50] directory and run

perl spamassassin < sample-spam.txt

However if I am working from my home directory and type

perl perl_root:[mail-SPAMASSASSIN-2_50]spamassassin <
PERL_ROOT:[MAIL-SPAMASSASSIN-2_50]sample-spam.txt 

I get 

"
Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.) at
/perl_root/lib/File/Spec/VMS.pm line 363.
"

it then seems to run correctly.

Same happens if I copy the sample-spam.txt file to my home directory and then
run from my home directory

perl perl_root:[mail-SPAMASSASSIN-2_50]spamassassin < SAMPLE-SPAM.TXT

This suggests there is some other file spamassasin needs a path to which is OK
when I'm in the spamassassin directory but not found if I am elsewhere.

I am making some progress of getting this to work.
Current problem for which I'd like some 
input:

On VMS a directory can't have a dot in its name.  Therefore, ~/.spamassassin
can't 
be used.  What is the best way to change this to, say, ~/_spamassassin?
The most obvious to me is 
spamassassin.pm but I found several places where
it is used.  The worst I found is $ENV{'HOME'} 
. '.spamassassin' (somewhere
with bayes filters).  That doesn't work at all as HOME evaluates 
to DISK:[USER]
and you get a mixed path.

Is there some other configuartion place where it 
can be set?

Thanks,
Michael

Created attachment 1191 [details]
Patch to make file paths portable

Attached is a patch for spamassassin.raw against SA 2.55.  It uses
File::Spec for all paths.  This is required for VMS but not VMS specific.

This is first step at making SA run on VMS.  I have it working now but still
needs a lot of clean up and fixing things I missed.  spamc/spamd I don't have
yet and probably I never will.

I have a working Makefile.PL but it's still a mess.  All tests except
spamc/spamd work.

I'll send more as time and work permits.

Michael

Hi,

I am trying to get SA working on an AXP running VMS 7.2-2

I fetched SA 2.55 from:

http://us.spamassassin.org/released/Mail-SpamAssassin-2.55.zip

I have Perl 5.6.1 installed which I got from:

  ftp://ftp.sidhe.org/perl-5_6_1-vmsaxp-7_2-1.zip

After unpacking the SA kit I did PERL MAKEFILE.PL as directed by INSTALL.VMS.
Its output follows:

begin snippet ----------------------------------------
KZAXP> perl Makefile.PL
Checking if your kit is complete...
Warning: the following files are missing in your kit:
        binaries.mk_in
        config.h_in

        lib/mail/spamassassin/persistentaddrlist.pm
        old/changes.before-2002-06-18_gz
Please inform the author.

Warning: I could not locate your pod2man program.  As a last choice,
         I will look for the file to which the logical name POD2MAN
         points when MMK is invoked.

Writing Descrip.MMS for Mail::SpamAssassin
KZAXP>
end snippet ----------------------------------------
*******************************************************************************
*

Regarding the missing files:

I believe the missing files (except for persistentaddrlist.pm) are cases of
jumbled expectations of the proper handling of Unix-style filenames with
multiple dots. As you all probably know VMS doesn't allow a dot in a filename.
It seems the check in makefile.pl expects the VMS UNZIP to preserve the first 
of
multiple dots in a file name and change the rest to underbars but the unzip I
have preserves the last dot and changes the rest to underbars. For example the
check in makefile.pl is looking for binaries.mk_in but UNZIP created
binaries_mk.in. I fixed this problem by renaming the files in question.

For the record the UNZIP variant I have installed is:

  KZAXP> unzip -h
  UnZip:  Zipfile Extract v5.0 of 21 August 1992;  (c) 1989 S.H.Smith and 
others
  Versions 3.0 and later by Info-ZIP.  Bug reports ONLY to zip-bugs@cs.ucla.edu
  ...snip...

I suppose if there are differing expectations of how to handle replacement of
dots with underbars the check could be changed to look for one and then the
other and use the one it actually finds or rename the file to the file name it
expects.

Regarding persistentaddrlist.pm. The UNZIP yielded the following error for this
file:

invalid argument
mapame:  unable to process [Mail-SpamAssassin-
2.55/lib/Mail/SpamAssassin/PersistentAddrList.pm]

However an unzip -t shows it as "OK". I then went back and specifically
extracted the file as follows and it worked:

  unzip MAIL-SPAMASSASSIN-2_55.ZIP "Mail-SpamAssassin-
2.55/lib/Mail/SpamAssassin/PersistentAddrList.pm"

It was a good idea to make the kit check to see if files are missing.
*******************************************************************************
*

Regarding the missing pod2man that was, I believe, due to my not having set up
the pod2man program's symbols and logicals. I did it in SYLOGIN.COM this way:

  $       DEFINE/NOLOG POD2MAN PERL_ROOT:[UTILS]POD2MAN.COM
  $       POD2MAN :== $PERL_ROOT:[000000]PERL.EXE POD2MAN

as instructed at http://www.sidhe.org/vmsperl/prebuilt_perl_5_005_readme.txt.

Once I set pod2man up this way the perl makefile.pl worked without throwing
errors.

*******************************************************************************
*

However now when I run the descrip.mms file output from "perl makefile.pl" it
dies very soon on.

The MAKE I use identifies itself as:

  MAKE/VMS V3.4-2 (C)1986,1989 by Todd Aven, the Software Sweatshop, NY

LASSIE> make/in=descrip/debug/verif spamassassin

Object doesn't exist: "spamassassin"
%MAKE, spamassassin doesn't exist and couldn't be made.
%NONAME-E-NOMSG, Message number 00000002

The descrip.mms file does contain the lines:

spamassassin : spamassassin.raw
        $(PERL) build/preprocessor $(FIXBYTES) $(FIXVARS) $(FIXBANG) -i$? -o$@
        $(CHMOD) $(PERM_RWX) $@

which looks like a spamassassin target to me. I will attach the full
descrip.mms. Can anyone make any suggestions as to how I should proceed?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

If I invoke the spamassassin.raw I get:

LASSIE> perl spamassassin.raw
Too late for "-T" option at spamassassin.raw line 1.
%SYSTEM-F-ABORT, abort

OK. So I make this simple change:

LASSIE> dif spamassassin.raw
************
File UCXAXP$DKB0:[MAIL-SPAMASSASSIN-2_55]SPAMASSASSIN.RAW;2
    1   #!/usr/bin/perl

File UCXAXP$DKB0:[MAIL-SPAMASSASSIN-2_55]SPAMASSASSIN.RAW;1
    1   #!/usr/bin/perl -w -T
    2
************

Number of difference sections found: 1
Number of difference records found: 1

I removed the "-w -T". Am I doing something wrong that this edit is required 
or should this code be changed, made compatible with VMS?

Once I make that small change I run it again and it kinda works. First it 
throws a slew of errors which seem to be connected to the absence of Michael
Lemke's patch (See below) but then it spits out the MIME message with the 
outer headers being the SA created SPAM report and the orginal SPAM being 
encoded as an attachment. This part looks good!

One more question. Pardon my ignorance. Michael Lemke posted a "patch to
spamassassin.raw as:

  http://bugzilla-new.spamassassin.org//attachment.cgi?id=1191&action=view

which appears to be a seqeuence of edits required on the spamassassin.raw file.
Is it expected that to "apply" the patch we must manually make those edits or 
is
the new spamassassin.raw available or perhaps there is a tool that can read
this "patch" file and make the edits? 
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

The last issue I had was around how folks are tying SA into their VMS mail
environment. There are no "builtins" that allow this to happen unless maybe 
the third party tool PMDF is being used. Maybe it has them.

I should say that I am the engineer who works on the SMTP code of the TCP/IP
Services for OpenVMS product and can create some sort of plug in capability in
that code because I own it. ;^) I am open to suggestions.

For the Unix-to-VMS port of majordomo I implemented a
feature for VMS mail not unlike Unix's aliases file capability where a mail is
piped into a program. It's called PIPE MAILSHR and is the means used to pipe a
mail for the list or for majordomo into the associated perl script. PIPE 
MAILSHR is a general purpose lego block for this type of thing and may be one 
way to pipe incoming mail for a given user into the SA script.

Other (not mutually exclusive BTW) options would be to put hooks in our SMTP
receiver, the SMTP symbiont or maybe move it off to the POP or IMAP servers.

Thanks in advance,

Karol Zielonko

DESCRIP.MMS from makefile.pl (KZ)

Here is the DESCRIP.MMS file produced by the PERL MAKEFILE.PL command
on my VMS 7.2-2 system.

I manually edited in the changes from Michael Lemke's patch:

  http://bugzilla-new.spamassassin.org//attachment.cgi?id=1191&action=view

but when I re-ran spamassassin.raw it had no discernable affect.

I have also found that I must be SET DEF'd to the SA top level directory in
order for "perl spamassassin < sample-spam.txt" If I set the default directory
elsewhere I have the same problem described by David Webb in comment #6.

*******************************************************************************
*
QUESTION: Is it advisable to make my SA top level directory a sub directory of
my VMS PERL_ROOT directory? I see that is what David Webb has done. Is this
required? Advisable? Up to this point I haven't done it that way. I have Perl
and SA set up like this:

LASSIE> dir *perl*.dir

Directory UCXAXP$DKB0:[000000]

PERL-5_6_1.DIR;1           1  17-SEP-2003 13:51:37.49

Total of 1 file, 1 block.
LASSIE> dir *spam*.dir

Directory UCXAXP$DKB0:[000000]

MAIL-SPAMASSASSIN-2_55.DIR;1
                           4  17-SEP-2003 13:11:45.41

Total of 1 file, 4 blocks.
*******************************************************************************
*

Next I started work on trying to get the DESCRIP.MMS file to do whatever it is
supposed to be doing. I saw that David Webb qwas running a straight VMS MMS
command on it and tried it and got farther there than with MAKE.

First I got the syntax error that David Webb saw with the made-doc-stamp 
target.
This was caused by an extraneous blank line after a $(PERL) command and before 
a
$(TOUCH) command:

made-doc-stamp : doc $(MAN1PODS) $(MAN3PODS) $(EXTRAPODS)
        $(PERL) build/convert_pods_to_doc $(MAN1PODS) $(MAN3PODS) $(EXTRAPODS)

        $(TOUCH) made-doc-stamp
        $(RM_F) pod2htm*

Perhaps this part of makefile.pl is the possible source of this problem.
Maybe this cryptic line below starting with "# : ''"

made-doc-stamp: doc#. ($gotpods ? q# $(MAN1PODS) $(MAN3PODS) $(EXTRAPODS)
        $(PERL) build/convert_pods_to_doc $(MAN1PODS) $(MAN3PODS) $(EXTRAPODS)
        # : '') . q#                    <<<---this stufF, KZ???
        $(TOUCH) made-doc-stamp
        $(RM_F) pod2htm*

--------------------
I tested the above with mms/noaction/log /verify made-doc-stamp and then got a
problem with a missing file:

LASSIE>  mms/noaction/log /verify made-doc-stamp

%MMS-F-GWKNOPRN, There are no known sources for the current target [.SPAMD]
SPAMD

In MMS you get "There are no known sources for the current target" when the 
file
it's looking for is not there.

I looked in descrip.mms and it seems like this is caused by an expansion of the
$(MAN1PODS) macro which is set up like this:

...snip...
MAN1PODS = [.spamd]spamc.pod [.spamd]spamd sa-learn spamassassin
MAN3PODS = [.lib.mail.spamassassin]autowhitelist.pm [.lib.mail.spamassassin]
bayes.pm [.lib.mail.spamassassin]conf.pm \
        [.lib.mail.spamassassin]confsourcesql.pm [.lib.mail.spamassassin]
permsglearner.pm \
        [.lib.mail.spamassassin]permsgstatus.pm [.lib.mail.spamassassin]
persistentaddrlist.pm \
        [.lib.mail]spamassassin.pm
...snip...
MAN1EXT = rno
...snip...
made-doc-stamp : doc $(MAN1PODS) $(MAN3PODS) $(EXTRAPODS)
        $(PERL) build/convert_pods_to_doc $(MAN1PODS) $(MAN3PODS) $(EXTRAPODS)
        $(TOUCH) made-doc-stamp
        $(RM_F) pod2htm*

In the definition of MAN1PODS there are three files without file extensions -
[.spamd]spamd, sa-learn and spamassassin. I noticed that files in these
directories by these names all exist with the .RAW extension. Eg. there is no
[.spamd]spamd file but there is a [.spamd]spamd.raw file.

----
In makefile.pl there is

    'MAN1PODS' => {
        'spamassassin'    => '$(INST_MAN1DIR)/spamassassin.$(MAN1EXT)',
        'sa-learn'        => '$(INST_MAN1DIR)/sa-learn.$(MAN1EXT)',
        'spamd/spamc.pod' => '$(INST_MAN1DIR)/spamc.$(MAN1EXT)',
        'spamd/spamd'     => '$(INST_MAN1DIR)/spamd.$(MAN1EXT)',
    },

but the string "MAN1EXT" doesn't appear anywhere else in the file.
Strangely somehow as I showed above the DESCRIP.MMS file does contain a
definition of MAN1EXT = rno. Of course descrip.mms has no references to this
MAN1EXT string anywhere and why is it .rno when the files we seem to want are
.raw?

Regardless of that I manually changed this line in descrip.mms:

MAN1PODS = [.spamd]spamc.pod [.spamd]spamd sa-learn spamassassin

to this:

MAN1PODS = [.spamd]spamc.pod [.spamd]spamd.raw sa-learn.raw spamassassin.raw

*******************************************************************************
*

Then I tried mms/noaction/log /verify spamassassin but I saw these strange
references to "/BRIANA$DKA0/CRAIG/PERLBUILD/PERL" in some crazy long command it
was trying to issue. Trace them to this in descrip.mms:

PREFIX = /BRIANA$DKA0/CRAIG/PERLBUILD/PERL/
INST_PREFIX             = /BRIANA$DKA0/CRAIG/PERLBUILD/PERL/

I went through a few iterations then re-running perl makefile.pl passing it
command line values for various symbols like PREFIX, pointing them to my SA top
level directory in different ways but the end result was always the same - DCL
error because the DCL command the MMS file was trying to issue was too long.
(BTW> Each time I did this and generated a new descrip.mms I had to manually
re-edit it to remove the extraneous blank line and changes the MAN1PODS line.)

For example:

  $ def/sys/tran=conc spama_root common_sysdisk:[MAIL-SPAMASSASSIN-2_55.]
  $ def/sys sa spama_root:[000000]
  $ def/sys sc spama_root:[ETC]
  $ def/sys sd spama_root:[SHARE.SPAMASSASSIN]
  $ def/sys sl spama_root:[MAIL.SPAMASSASSIN]
  $ perl makefile.pl PREFIX=sa SYSCONFDIR=sc DEF_RULES_DIR=sd 
LOCAL_RULES_DIR=sl

That first perl command is way too long even though I've made the logical names
very short to try to squeeze under the limit.

David Webb thought he solved this problem but I suspect that was only because 
he
had an earlier version of SA. The new version creates a much longer command
line. (I checked his DESCRIP.MMS file.)

Any ideas as to how I can work around this and perhaps how the base kit can be
modified to solve this?

Hi,

More progress made. The build/preprocessor script, which is what we're trying 
to
invoke on one, too-long-for-VMS long command line, can be invoked multiple 
times
each time with the output of the previous run being the input to the current
run. This string of invocations yields the same overall affect as passing all
the command line options with the one invocation.

There are certain of the options that must be grouped together but fortunately
none requiring so many characters as to overflow VMS's 255 character command
line limit. As I understand it the -Mbytes must come along with -DPERL_VERSION
and -Msharpbang must come with -DPERL_BIN and -DPERL_WARN. Please correct me
anyone if I got that wrong. The rest of the symbol definitions come with the
-Mvars.

I first did these commands in a .COM file:

$ perl build/preprocessor "-Mbytes" "-DPERL_VERSION=this" -iSPAMASSASSIN.RAW -
oSPAMASSASSIN.RAW1
$ perl build/preprocessor "-Msharpbang"  "-DPERL_BIN=this" "-DPERL_WARN=auto" -
iSPAMASSASSIN.RAW1 -oSPAMASSASSIN.RAW2
$ perl build/preprocessor "-Mvars" "-DVERSION=2.55" "-DPREFIX=sa" "-
DDEF_RULES_DIR=sd" "-DLOCAL_RULES_DIR=sl" -
"-DINSTALLSITELIB=perl_root:[lib.site_perl]" -iSPAMASSASSIN.RAW2 -oSPAMASSASSIN
$DIR/FULL SPAMASSASSIN.
$ perl -e "chmod @ARGV"  SPAMASSASSIN

On the first invocation we pass the output to .RAW1 and then RAW1 is the input
to the second invocations and raw2 is the output...

Note that the change was not simply to break the single invocation of
build/preprocessor into multiple lines but also to monkey around with the use 
of
double quotes. On VMS invoking something from the command line in this fashion
causes the data being passed to the invoked program to be down cased. (Actually
I'm not dead certain sure in this case if it's VMS or VMS Perl doing this.) 
This
means that if you did:

  $ perl build/preprocessor -Mbytes -DPERL_VERSION="this" -iSPAMASSASSIN.RAW -
oSPAMASSASSIN.RAW1

The preprocessor perl script would actually see:

  -mbytes -dperl_version="this" -ispamassassin.raw -ospamassassin.raw1

If you want case to be preserved  you need to do this as I have done above:

  $ perl build/preprocessor "-Mbytes" "-DPERL_VERSION=this" -
iSPAMASSASSIN.RAW -oSPAMASSASSIN.RAW1

Note: I originally tried to do it like this (note the handling of
-DPERL_VERSION):

  $ perl build/preprocessor "-Mbytes" "-DPERL_VERSION=""this""" -
iSPAMASSASSIN.RAW -oSPAMASSASSIN.RAW1
                                      ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
thinking that I needed to have the script see -DPERL_VERSION="this", ie.
thinking it needed this in double quotes. I found that just passing it like
"-DPERL_VERSION=this" also worked (apparently) and doing it that way saves four
bytes per symbol in the command line.

I didn't bother enclosing the -i and -o in double quotes because those options
are already lower case so lose nothing when down cased. Since VMS's file names
are not case-sensitive the fact that we see "-ispamassassin.raw" is just the
same functionaly as -iSPAMASSASSIN.RAW. Skipping the double quotes here allows
us to save four bytes.

--------------------
I then manually edited the DESCRIP.MMS file to do the same thing I did in my
test .COM procedure. For the record here is a screen shot of the run of the new

So another request for an enhancement to the makefile.pl script for VMS
compatiblility - to produce a DESCRIP.MMS that reflects the changes I made 
here.
I would have taken this change all the way back to makefile.pl myself (and the
other makefile.pl changes too) except that I don't understand how that thing
works.

Next I will look more at running the spamassassin file output by the
preprocessor. I need to figure out where all these symbols (eg. DEF_RULES_DIR)
are being used so I can determine if the Perl code in spamsassassin is actually
finding the files in those directories or if there are still syntax errors. 
Also
need to solve these:

  security: cannot untaint path: "WORK10$:[ZIELONKO]/.spamassassin"

etc... errors.

Karol Zielonko

Karol, I will have a look at the Makefile.PL stuff. But it might take a few 
days :)  
 
You don't accidently have a VMS box available where I could get a shell 
account? 

Malte,

Thanks for spending the time!

Unfortunately I don't have a VMS system I can let you get access to. If you 
like I can be go-between and you can float version sof the file to me and i'll 
give 'em a try. Email if interested.

Karol

Hi,

First I'd like to ask if anyone would be interested if I set up a little
email list or something for those interested in VMS port of spamassassin. I
have been working it and yet I'm no Perl expert and could use some help
without bogging down this case with tons of detail. Further it makes sense
not to have multiple folks all doing the same work at the same time.

Since I last posted here I have found a few more glitches in the build and
made a few more corresponding local hacks to push it along farther. I'll
spare you all the details. The last build road block I hit was the
descrip.mms file exiting with an error trying to execute a
strictly-for-unix shell script called "configure".

I exchanged email with Malte Stretz regarding logistics and the possibility
that he can back-port changes into SPAMassassin to fix the VMS bugs I've
found and which I am manually hacking around at the present. I have figured
out how to allow him access to my personal AXP system at home and also have
found a fellow in Germany who offers free access to anyone to his basement
VMS system. As far as I know though no work has been done yet.

Having hit the road block in the build I decided to try get the main
spamassassin script running. Between the suggestions in this thread and my
own explorations I've had it running simply for a week or so. By "running
simply" I mean that I don't think I'm running any where near all the code
paths that could be run, no spamd or bayes or razor for example.

But I can do this:

 $ perl spama_root:spamassassin. < infile.txt > outfile.txt

and it seems to be working. The file infile.txt contains an email to
process and outfile.txt is the SA output.

So how to get some use out of it?

At this time we have no generic hooks in VMS mail that allow a mail message
to be passed through some external processor like SA. Nor does our SMTP
server code have any such hooks. Creating those is another issue. I've got
some ideas (and am open to suggestions) and will work this as a separate
issue.

For our users here I wrote a 'C' program which I called spamsweep and which
sits on top of spamassassin.  It invokes SPAMassassin for all mail in a
source folder and moves each message thought by SPAMassassin to be SPAM to
a destination folder. By default the source folder is NEWMAIL (which is
where VMS mail puts all new mail when it is initially  delivered) and the
destination folder is SPAM. The folder names are setable from the command
line. I've been using it and it is working quite nicely.

The user must run the spamsweep tool manually from the $ prompt which makes
sense since the whole point of writing a standalone, manual tool like this
is because we don't have the automatic hooks built in yet.

I'm playing with this bayes thing now by doing

  $ perl spamassassin "-rLD" < file.txt

It's dying when trying to create a lock file in the UNIXLOCKER module. The
lock file has multiple dots in the name:

lock: 624953212 cannot create tmp lockfile
/sys$login_root/spamassassin/bayes.lock.lassie.ucx.lkg.dec.com.624953212
for /sys$login_root/spamassassin/bayes.lock: file specification syntax error

This is a typical Unix to VMS port problem. I'll hack up a fix for it.

Karol Zielonko

has anything happened with this in the last 6 months?  seems like it's stalled.

Hi folks.  This bug seems a bit dead, so I'm going to close it.  I'm not
saying we don't want to support VMS, but that this bug is so outdated that
a "[tracker]" bug does not seem to be the way.  Please open new bugs against
SVN trunk as you come up with updated fixes.  Thanks.

Closing as LATER.
