SpamAssassin/MS & 25_uribl.cf

[Furnish, Trever G]

You got that when you ran spamassassin --lint -D?  You probably have missing PERL modules then, but that's really just a guess.

DBI is a Perl API for accessing databases.  It's provided as a set of Perl modules, and it in turn needs other (DBD) modules to talk to specific databases.  One of those modules is probably DB_File, which is listed in the requirements for SpamAssassin 3+, so if you don't have that installed, don't expect things to work.

If you're on a Redhat system (at least on my RHEL3 system), DBI is packaged as "perl-DBI" by Redhat and DB_File is needed from CPAN.

Hope that helps.  And hopefully others will correct me if I'm leading you astray...
