hi,
i want to remove spamassing and i am tring these commands in putty but all the time i am receving error" Command not found"
It means spamassasin isnt installed try the command
$ nano /etc/default/spamassassin || vi /etc/default/spamassassin
I installed it myself in cyberpanel yesterday, today I just stopped it in cyberpanel but it’s still causing issues and using all my cpu.
Kindly advise how i can remove it completely
Install htop using the commands
apt install -y htop || yum install -y htop || dnf install -y htop
Then reboo the server and run it through htop and after a few mins post a screenshot of terminal running htop
i hope this will not disturb my server, as i am new in using commands. is there an easy way to remove spamassassin?
I am trying to help you investigate as to why your cpu is overloaded. As of now you assume its spamassasin. Let’s be sure
yes its spamaassasin, i already checked htop command.
i run below command i can see blank screen only
$ nano /etc/default/spamassassin || vi /etc/default/spamassassin.
htop command screenshot attached
Did you tweak the configuration of spamassassin at /etc/default/spamassassin
i dont understand what do you mean. but i just installed it from cyber panel
this command worked for me
yum remove spamassassin -y
There is no trick here
Sorry I missed you are on centos 8
yum remove spamassassin
then remove smtp inet n - n - - smtpd -o content_filter=spamassassin from /etc/postfix/master.cf
Remove the following code which is at the end of the file:
spamassassin unix - n n - - pipe flags=R user=spamd argv=/usr/bin/spamc -e /usr/sbin/sendmail -oi -f ${sender} ${recipient}
Also delete these lines Any way to disable spamassasin? - #2 by usmannasir1
Finally, restart Postfix:
service postfix restart
i will just copy and paste these commands because i dont have much experties. so i will just copy and paste your commands to remove it
permession denied to open /etc/postfix/master.cf

is it possible if i give you access of my server you can access through putty and solve this issue?
