Re: [SAtalk] Spamassassin on Suse 9.0?

Any thoughts on the simplest way of installing spamassassin _and_ keeping it current? On Redhat I used CPAN, no problems with it, guess I'm not 100% sure on the benefits of doing it using CPAN vs RPM. Any other "gotchas" with Suse and Spamassassin that I should know of? Quick search of the archi
