That's pretty much completely backwards.
Install MailScanner first.
Then either ClamAV+SpamAssassin from my combined package, or else ClamAV 
from RPMs at dag.wieers.com/rpm/packages/clamav and then SpamAssassin 
alone from my combined package (it will ask you if you want it to 
install ClamAV when you run it, just say "n").
Then DCC.
Then Razor.
Using my package to install SpamAssassin will do a lot of the 
configuration of it for you, along with installing all the 
pre-requisites automatically.

Do a "yum update" before you start doing anything. When you later want 
to upgrade Perl (which doesn't mean doing every little patch they 
produce), uninstall the clashing RPMs (yum update will tell you what 
they are), then "yum update" then reinstall MailScanner, which will 
replace the RPMs you removed. Fairly simple really :-)
