need help with mailscanner and spamassassin

[Stephen Swaney]

I agree with Raymond's comments and am one of the people that has been
bitten by the rpm install.

I've also been bitten by the MCPAN install. There are a number of CPAN
sites that do NOT have the latest version of SpamAssassin available.
Just last week I inadvertently installed 2.53 by mistake. I did catch
the error when 2.53 rolled by during the install but I should have paid
more attention to the warning message about the mirror site being over
90 days out of date. Be warned.

I rectified the error by downloading the 2.55 version of
Mail::SpamAssassin from www.cpan.org and installed from that. It appears
to be exactly the install as the MCPAN method but the files that are
compiled and installed are the latest versions.

Hope this helps.
