Dave, why would it go into EPEL? SpamAssassin is a core RPM.
Oh yeh. I guess because it's been so long since we had an update and
my main boxes are running CentOS/SL 6.9 that I forgot it was a core
package. The CentOS 5 and 6 boxes out there aren't going to get the
new version unless it gets put in some other repo like EPEL or another
third party since they are not getting any updates.
My understanding of EPEL policy is that its packages never replace the
EL base packages.
It is often possible to install RPMs from the Fedora updates repos that
are analogous to your EL/CentOS version.
