Sa-compile must be run in advance, in order to compile the ruleset using re2c and the C compiler.
This plugin will use native-code object files representing the ruleset, in order to provide significant speedups in rule evaluation.
Warden enables the Mail::SpamAssassin::Plugin::Rule2XSBody plugin in SpamAssassin. The plugin loads the compiled object files generated by sa-compile and evaluates the rules as native code instead of regular expressions.
// AlmaLinux 10
yum install spamassassin-compile
// AlmaLinux / CloudLinux / RHEL / Rocky Linux 8 and 9
yum install gcc re2c make perl-ExtUtils-MakeMaker
// Debian/Ubuntu
apt-get install gcc re2c make sa-compileNavigate to Warden -> Settings -> Plugin Settings -> Enable the Rule2XSBody plugin. You can test to see if the rules compile successfully by running the command:
// compile the rules
/usr/bin/sa-compile
// If using SELinux apply the proper labels to the compiled rules
restorecon -R -v "/var/lib/spamassassin/compiled/"You should see it compile the rules and copy them to your spamassassin compiled rules directory.
With Rule2XSBody enabled when restarting SpamAssassin you might see this if SELinux is enabled:
