ANNOUNCE: SpamAssassin 3.1.0 available!

[Julian Field]

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----

I have just published an updated tarball installation set for  
SpamAssassin 3.1.0 including the new modules it needs.

Download as usual from
http://www.sng.ecs.soton.ac.uk/mailscanner/files/4/install-Clam- 
SA.tar.gz

Just unpack it and run the ./install.sh script.

This will install the modules that SpamAssassin requires, along with  
ClamAV, all automatically for you, to save you hunting for modules it  
requires.
