Makes sense to change the requested version to 3.4.2 now.

Comment 5 Kenneth Porter 2018-10-13 03:59:14 UTC

Fedora 29 includes a SRPM:

https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/development/29/Everything/source/tree/Packages/s/spamassassin-3.4.2-2.fc29.src.rpm

I've rebuilt and installed this successfully on CentOS 7.5. The one hitch is that the systemd unit file for 3.4.0 assumes Type=forking and -d is passed to the spamd executable. The Fedora 29 RPM for 3.4.2 assumes Type=simple so the daemonize option in /etc/sysconfig/spamassassin must be removed. I suggest changing the spec file to remove the (replace) from /etc/sysconfig/spamassassin.
