ANNOUNCE: SpamAssassin 3.1.0 available!

[Julian Field]

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

I just use the tar.gz, it's the only one I trust. By definition their  
RPM's won't work on all systems without being rebuilt from SRPM. It  
needs to know the perl installation directories which it can only  
learn at build-time, not at install-time.
