SpamAssassin upgrade question...

>From the INSTALL file in Mail-SpamAssassin-2.60.tar.gz:

Installing or Upgrading SpamAssassin
------------------------------------

The easiest way to do this is using CPAN.pm, like so:

        perl -MCPAN -e shell                    [as root]
        o conf prerequisites_policy ask
        install Mail::SpamAssassin
        quit

-Devon

Not really, and I've read it is better, for mailscanner use, to use pure source.
