I agree with Raymond's comments and am one of the people that has been bitten by the rpm install. <BR>
<BR>
I've also been bitten by the MCPAN install. There are a number of CPAN sites that do NOT have the latest version of SpamAssassin available. Just last week I inadvertently installed 2.53 by mistake. I did catch the error when 2.53 rolled by during the install but I should have paid more attention to the warning message about the mirror site being over 90 days out of date. Be warned.<BR>
<BR>
I rectified the error by downloading the 2.55 version of Mail::SpamAssassin from www.cpan.org and installed from that. It appears to be exactly the install as the MCPAN method but the files that are compiled and installed are the latest versions.<BR>
<BR>
Hope this helps.<BR>

It was told on the list a couple of times that that might cause problems,
i guess thats the case here.
Please install SA vie MCPAN ....

Ok, fair enough.
Please deinstall SA (rpm -e) and install it via MCPAN ...
perl -MCPAN -e shell
install Mail::SpamAssassin
