I think a Quick start guide is an excellent idea. I too have had
problems installing it on a system where I don't have root access. So
seeing something like that addressed I think would be wonderful. It
seems like the prerequisites of the installation of the modules, when
SA and Razor run the 'make' and where it should be located come up as
an issue for me when I install or upgrade as non-root. I always have to
re-install it a couple of times in order for the patch regarding Razor
so SA knows its there. When I get it worked out, SA runs fine. So
perhaps a newbie non-root user section to the Quick start guide would
address this.
Hardly a day goes by that I don't say "SA is great!".

Hi,
That may be a good reason to use the "ask" option to
following dependencies, especially if using an older version
of Perl. If it wanted a newer version of some module that's
bundled with Perl, then it will happily upgrade Perl for you.
I have to say I prefer to do that one manually.
I secon that.
CPAN is a real shit. Only good for small modules with no dependencies.
I've already tried ti install SpamAssassin from CPAN several times in
differnt Unixes and always fails somewhere along the process.
I always end to install the prerequisites modules first, and finaly
SpamAssassin.

Hmm. I've not had a problem with it. I've installed
Mail::SpamAssassin on numerous Linux and FreeBSD boxes using CPAN and
not had whimper one.
Cheers,
