SpamAssassin 2.50 Problems

[Julian Field]

On a related subject, I have finally pursuaded SpamAssassin 2.50 to install
on a Raq, after an hour fighting it. The "make test" was failing horribly
with it being unable to work out the local hostname. Some sort of Taint
mode problem with Sys::Hostname. In the end I hardwired the hostname as
that was the only way to get it working.

Sounds like the SA guys have a few "issues" with the installation of 2.50,
similar to most of the recent previous versions. If an up-to-date SA isn't
vital to you, I would personally advise holding off until 2.51 is released.
