Hello List
I am installing SpamAssassin 2.55 using the instructions mailed to
the list some time ago (see below).
I got as far as Makefile.PL and that ran with no errors.
Its the next bit that is confusing me - the make make test make
install. What does this mean?
Is it literally running make
then make test
then make install?
If so do these commands have to be run directly after running
Makefile.PL ?

Thanks.
