I like to use RPMs from YUM or APT repositories where ever I can on RPM
based distrabutions. But I think for spamassassin, you are better off
going with CPAN to keep it up to date.

I was wondering what method you guys & gals prefer for upgrading spamassassin
on the more mainstream rpm based distros (MDK/Fedora/rh/SUSE).
I have a SUSE 9.1 server, running spamassassin through amavisd-new. Works
like a charm. I decided to give the CPAN thing a try. logged in, updated
all the relevant perl things (acutally I was wishing to upgrade everything
perl related listed in amavisd-new's logfile, sa being one of them). Somehow
this broke spamassassin very badly. Couldn't even run sa-learn!
So I downloaded the tarball and built rpms using the included spec file with
rpmbuild - this fixed it nicely.
Just curious
Thanks
