I think we're talking aobut two different things???

After I install SpamAssassin it passes the two tests that they suggest in
the docs ie.  the ones that go:

spamassassin -t < sample-nospam.txt > nospam.out
and
spamassassin -t < sample-spam.txt > spam.out


However, I can't get SpamAssassin to install at all using CPAN because
that install automatically runs the "make test" command and several spamd
tests fail.  Installing the gz file by hand and skipping the "make test"
command and just using "make install" will install the program and it
seems to work.

Going back and doing a "make test" will also fail a number of spamd tests
though.  This is what is making me nervous.
