I don't know of any major changes to the install process in 4.x, so without any specific details I can't really offer a solution. I can say that AS ALWAYS it is a bad idea to build and test ANY software as 'root' and SA does not accommodate doing so. There may well be places where the tests fail slowly if you run them as root. The only step you should perform as root is the actual installation. Another possible issue arising from how some platforms (e.g. RedHat) use Perl's "local::lib" mechanism by default, giving each user their own bespoke Perl environment. You must disable that when building and testing SA. I'm not sure how exactly one should use the cpan tool to install SA or any other Perl package designed as a system-wide facility. I think it is generally better to either use distro-provided packages or to do the real install from source with this arcane spell: perl Makefile.PL make build && make test sudo make install On Tue, Jan 30, 2024 at 1:36 PM Nick Edwards wrote: Venting Set up a new server today, took no time in postfix dovecot and amavisd, apache roundcube, and everything, then came spamassassin thankfully I chose to install this whilst we left for lunch, but 45mins later to my horror it was still trying to install, why? because its tests failed for timeouts this, timeouts that, everytime its set keeps on retrying reporting error: config: no rules were found!
