The server is a Mandrake 10.1, i run postfix, have mysql (4.0.20) installed, the perl version is 5.8.5. I've downloaded SA from the site, but as i wanted it to be site-wide, i changed my mind and tried to install it from CPAN...
the commands used are the one given in the doc (entered as root): perl -MCPAN -e shell >o conf prerequisites_policy ask >install Mail::SpamAssassin >quit
the questions asked are :
What email address or URL should be used in the suspected-spam report text for users who want more information on your filter installation? (In particular, ISPs should change this to a local Postmaster contact) default text: [the administrator of that system] The admin of the system
Check network rules during 'make test' (test scripts may fail due to network problems)? (y/n) [n] y
Run SQL-based Auto-whitelist tests during 'make test' (additional information required) (y/n) [n]
Run Bayes SQL storage tests during 'make test' (additional information required)? (y/n) [n]
Checking if your kit is complete... Looks good Writing Makefile for Mail::SpamAssassin
