Hi, I'm soon to be building two new mailservers which will be running Debian Etch, Qmail, Sophie and SpamAssassin, all plummed together using Qmail-Scanner.
In the past, we've just installed SpamAssassin via apt-get, however when we need to upgrade it means looking for a backport. I'm thinking of just installing from cpan instead on these new boxes, as the latest version should always easily available, making upgrades slightly easier. My only worry is that a cpan upgrade may go horribly wrong, when in the past upgrading to a newer debian package has always been faultless. Has anyone got any experience with the pros and cons? Or am I worrying too much about nothing?
