[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/kits/Mail-SpamAssassin-2.60# spamassassin -V
SpamAssassin version 2.43

I installed it from CPAN, that's why I have a smaller version than the
latest ?

if I use spamd/spamc, I get in the headers sa-version=2.60, but if I user
spamassassin I get version=2.43

where is the problem ?

My bet, is that you have a buggy version of CPAN, and it installed SA, along with a newer version of perl, in /usr/local/* and your copy of 2.43 is in /usr/*. This problem is very typical of RedHat 7.x and lots of other perl 5.6.x based systems.


/usr/local/bin isn't part of the path for root users, so the copy in /usr/bin gets run instead, which is the old version.

When this happened to me, I took these steps:

first, I obliterated the copy of perl and spamassassin out of /usr/local using rm -rf.
next I used cpan to upgrade cpan to the current version which no longer has this bug
then i exited and restarted cpan and used the corrected version to upgrade SA.


The whole thing is really quite silly, and YMMV, but this is a very common issue.
