• Download and install ActivePython from www.activestate.com.
• Download and install Pyzor from http://pyzor.sourceforge.net/. You'll need something that can un-bzip2 the files. Installing simply means running the following from the folder you extracted pyzor into:

  No Format
  python setup.py build python setup.py install

• Create a folder somewhere for the pyzor config files. You can use your spamassassin folder if you like as it only creates a single file called servers. I used c:/python24/etc/pyzor
• Create a pyzor.bat in your python folder (c:\python24 by default when I installed it), containing the following line, modified for your python folder path.

  No Format
  @c:\python24\python scripts/pyzor --homedir c:/python24/etc/pyzor %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9

• Edit /Lib/site-packages/pyzor/client.py with the following changes:
  • Find signal.signal(signal.SIGALRM, handle_timeout) and put a # in front of it.
  • Find the section for: def time_call(self, call, varargs=(), kwargs=None): and change it to read like this:

    No Format
    def time_call(self, call, varargs=(), kwargs=None): if kwargs is None: kwargs = {} return apply(call, varargs, kwargs)

• Create a folder somewhere for the pyzor config files. You can use your spamassassin folder if you like as it only creates a single file called servers. This must be on the same drive as your python installation.
• From a command prompt in the python folder context, run the following where /python/pyzor is the folder you created in the previous step.

  No Format
  pyzor --homedir /python/pyzor discover

• Now you are ready to configure SpamAssassin to use it.
• Edit your /site/lib/mail/spamassassin/Util.pm. Find the "sub helper_app_pipe_open_windows" section and the line that reads

  No Format
  if ($stdinfile) { $cmd .= " <'$stdinfile'"; }"

  and replace it with

  No Format
  if ($stdinfile) { $cmd .= " <\"$stdinfile\""; }"

  because Windows won't pipe a file with a space after the < and single quotes around it.
• Edit v310.pre and uncomment the load for the Pyzor plugin.
• Edit your local.cf and add configuration lines for pyzor. For example:

  No Format
  use_pyzor 1 pyzor_path c:\python24\pyzor.bat pyzor_options --homedir /python24/pyzortimeout 10

• That should do it. If you do a spamassassin --lint -D you should see pyzor
