Or, install it from source. I've had problems myself installing Spamassassin via CPAN, so many problems at a time, in fact, that I simply gave up and went with package management - which worked first time and every time after. Installation from source has been a bit more hairy, but nowhere near as hairy as a CPAN install. >From what I have read on the net, it would appear that CPAN installs are best left alone unless you really know what you're doing and are willing to fix things before you get the product installed - but that's just _my opinion_. I don't want to tick anyone off on the list who really likes CPAN - I have nothing against it - I just don't use it :). 2cents. Cheers, Mike
