Installation order

[Adam Gross]

The order you mention is the order I install everything on my boxes.
For best results I recommend installing SpamAssassin using cpan.  I
don't use CentOS so I don't know that it has cpan, but I can't imagine
that it wouldn't.

#cpan
Install Mail::SpamAssassin

So far as doing distro upgrades after installation, I personally
recommend against it simply because it's a 50/50 shot as to whether or
not something that gets installed will break MailScanner.  Also -- "If
it ain't broke, don't fix it."  MS takes care of its own dependencies
during installation, so worst case scenario of a yum upgrade breaking
it, just re-run the installer and it'll fix whatever yum breaks.

Subject: Installation order

Hi,

I want to install MailScanner on CentOS 5.1, but after a couple of
attempts I'm confused about what order I should be installing in.

I assumed that the best approach would be Razor & DCC, then SpamAssassin
and Clam from the developer's packages, then MailScanner rpms. The
messages output by MailScanner and the SA set seem to conflict though.

Additionally, it looks like when you yum update CentOS 5.1 some of the
perl module packages are removed as they've been incorporated into the
main perl packages, which confuses the MailScanner installer!

Little help please? :)

Thanks,
adam
