Hi guys,
This is my first email to this mailing list. I've been trying to
update spamassassin from spamassassin-3.1.8-1.i386 to
spamassassin-3.2.4-1.i386 for my mail server since 3 days ago. The
operating system is RHEL 4. When I run the rpm command:
rpm -Uvh --force perl-Mail-SpamAssassin-
Hello Daryl,
Thanks for your reply.

Well, I do get the description of those perl module. To reinstall
spamassassin from the source, frankly, would be the last option since
the mail server is a productive one. I'm trying to make the
installation as simple as possible with the rpm file so I'll only have
to invoke the "rpm -Uvh" command
