This worked, or at least it installed without complaining. I'll be
watching it over the next several hours to see how it performs and start
digging through my configs to see if they have been altered.

For the lists sake here's how I upgraded my 2.44 version of Spam
Assassin on RedHat 9.

Downloaded the .src.rpm file from the SA site

[EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# ls
anaconda-ks.cfg  install.log.syslog  spamassassin-2.60-1.src.rpm
install.log      mail

Ran the RPM rebuild:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# rpmbuild --rebuild spamassassin*.src.rpm

Found these files:

Checking for unpackaged file(s): /usr/lib/rpm/check-files

Installed them:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] i386]# rpm -Uvh spam*.rpm perl-Mail*.rpm

RedHat's provided SA package is an all-in-one package.  Theo Van
Dinter's packages have been split- as are many similar Perl programs.

Use "rpm -Uvh spamassassin* perl-Mail-SpamAssassin*" instead, to install
all three packages at once.

I would strongly recommend you avoid this directly on RH9 anyway, as the
packages you've got were built (IIRC) on RH7.3.  They will NOT install
and run cleanly on RH9.

Instead, download the .src.rpm, and run
  "rpmbuild --rebuild spamassassin*.src.rpm"

This should generate the three SA packages you have, but built for RH9's
Perl.

If you're having trouble with that, mail me offlist as it's not really a
SpamAssassin problem any more.

ping, it works completely, I just can't figure out where in my
apartment it is.
