           Summary: perl -MCPAN -e shell INSTALL method fails where only
                    passive FTP is available
           Product: Spamassassin
           Version: 2.63
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: Building & Packaging
        AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
        ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]


If only passive FTP and not active is available it is not possible to install
spamassassin with the "perl -MCPAN -e shell" method described in INSTALL file.

An error message by wget "Invalid PORT address" will result.

It is necessary to create a ~/.wgetrc file containing one line
passive_ftp = on

Suggested fix:

Prepend an information into the INSTALL file before the perl -MCPAN -e shell 
code
reading "Check active FTP works on your network. If only passive FTP works (for
example some NATs cause this), ensure you have a ~/.wgetrc file and the line
passive_ftp = on
is included in this file. If not, add this line manually".
