I'm using RedHat RHEL4 - an actual paid for licensed copy!

My first problem was finding all of the packages to get spf and other modules working.
Including
* Net-CIDR-Lite
* perl-Sys-Hostname-Long-1.4-1.2.el4.rf.noarch.rpm
* python-elementtree
* python-urlgrabber-2.9.6-1.2.el4.rf.noarch.rpm
* sqlite - don't know which one actually worked I downloaded about 3 of them.

If someone asks I'll zip them up and post them here.

It took me about 2 hours to do all the work, test some email's, compare headers and adjust scores. Worth every minute. I have to say one of the biggest complaints I've been getting from my users is the increase in spam since we have moved from Exchange. We used GFI mail essentials before.

Zimbra is amazing and I like it, so don't get me wrong, but I think the Zimbra staff should spend more time on documenting how we can improve spam and or creating an admin plug in that can help us better manage spam, including whitelist manager, blacklist manager, and well just take a look at the GFI configuration manager.
I use both CentOS4 and RHEL4. Admittedly, Yum really is much easier to use than up2date, but you can get those rpmforge packages via up2date and save yourself all the headaches and make sure you have the right RPM's.

You just need to add them in /etc/sysconfig/rhn/sources

There are examples in there for how to add Yum repos which work for up2date.

The only other trick is that you need to remember to import the GPG key for the repository.

Code:
rpm --import http://dag.wieers.com/packages/RPM-GPG-KEY.dag.txt
Of course, rpmforge has even gone so far as to create an RPM package that installs the GPG keys and updates the sources for you.

Just install this RPM, and RHEL4 will have access to all RPMForge RPM's

Code:
rpm -Uhv http://dag.wieers.com/packages/rpmforge-release/rpmforge-release-0.3.4-1.el4.rf.i386.rpm
Check here to ensure that you have the latest goods, although, once you install that RPM, if there is an update to it, you should now get it through up2date
