Net-DNS and spamassassin upgrade

Hi Scott,

To get your latest spamassassin upgrade (31/05/2005) to work on Centos 3.4, I had to install the perl-Net-DNS-0.48 package from Dag Wieers' repository.

Before I did that, when I tried to start spamd, it said:

Net::DNS version is 0.31, but need 0.34

Just letting you know, so if necessary you can include that package automatically

Thanks again!

Chris.

note to get spamassassin to work after I fixed this, I had to rerun
/usr/bin/qmail-scanner-reconfigure

headers now show:

Code: Select all

Received: from 66.111.4.27 by munged.host.name (envelope-from <chris.james@munged.email.address>, uid 2020) with qmail-scanner-1.25st 
 (perlscan: 1.25st.  
 Clear:RC:0(66.111.4.27):. 
 Processed in 0.491247 secs); 31 May 2005 14:28:28 -0000

(replaced real host name with munged.host.name etc).

btw, any idea if there is there any reason why this header is split over 3 lines. wierd?

Hey the good news is I'm working on being completely compliant with Dag wieers rpmforge project, we're mostly there now so it shouldnt be a problem to mix dag's (or any rpmforge archive) with mine.

btw, that perl-Net-DNS package should have been in the OS [base] channel as well. Its a pretty common lib

Thanks Scott, your hard work continues to be appreciated

That particular package was ver 3.1 in the base, the update wanted 3.4; the DAG version works great though

yep thats the plan, very soon I plan on dropping my spamassassin rpm and using the rpmforge version in my archive.
