I tried installing spamassassin in webmin as follows :
Step 1 : Webmin >> Others >> Perl Modules >> Install
This gave error to me . Several perl modules were missing. Then, I installed the perl modules that were given in error message as missing, as follows :
Step 2: perl -MCPAN -e shell
Give ‘no’ if you are prompted with any question. You should get the following prompt.
cpan>
Then, install the perl modules that are missing.
cpan>install HTML::Parser cpan>install DB_File cpan>install Net::DNS ..etc
If perl module installation has completed successfully you will get something like this :
/usr/bin/make install -- OK
After installing these modules you can either install spamassassin using perl module or using webmin.
Steps 3:
If perl module, give
cpan>Mail::SpamAssassin
For installing using webmin follow step1.
Step 4 :
Create .procmailrc file in the user’s home directory. There are lots of sample .procmailrc files.
Some of them.

Now, Spamassassin is ready to filter spams.
Test by sending spam and non spam mails to the domain. It should work fine.:)
