Well, I had SpamAssassin installed prior to MailScanner using RH9
stock RPM's. I then installed 'MailScanner' with 'MailWatch' and
desired to utilize 'teach sa-learn spam/ham' feature of 'MailWatch'.
When I started getting errors, I realized that 'sa-learn' is not part
of the stock RH RPM. I posed a question to the 'RedHat Users List'
that it '...was not on my system, what gives?' and I got a reply back
that RH '...does not include it, that I was using an old version' and
that i should upgrade to the current version found at the
SpamAssassin site. I downloaded the three RPM's available there;
SpamAssassin, SpamAssassin-tools, and ReqPerlModules. I could not
update the RH9 SpamAssassin RPM, so I uninstalled it, and then the
three newer RPM's installed fine. I suspect that the ReqPerlModules
RPM may be the culprit here?
