Spamassassin Upgrade

[Glenn Steen]

Hello Scott,

I do understand that the process of upgrading to CentOS 7 is ... daunting,
and seem wasteful when all you need is a better SpamAssassin, but ...
CentOS 5 has served you long and true, and should be put to rest;-)
I did a new install on CentOS 7 when it was first released... It was a
pain, especially the systemd stuff, and trying to cope with SElinux (maaany
"local" rules:-)). But after that, it actually works very well.
Sure, the whole toolchain need be updated and adjusted (and some things is
simply done ... differently...:-)), but it is a good move, that will buy
you peace of mind for a relatively long time.
Trying to maintain a distro that is no longer supported... is a loosing
battle/not worth your time, IMO.

Cheers!
