Your own backport?

I would prefer however to do it the Debian way. You will find many people who are fanatical about using CPAN. But there are just as many on the side of being fanatical about using a package manager. Place me firmly in the latter camp. > Is there a way to get this working using Debian packages? And which > packages should be installed then? I recommend using the www.backports.org packaging. Put the following in your /etc/apt/sources.list line. deb http://www.backports.org/debian stable spamassassin Then: sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install spamassassin libnet-dns-perl libmail-spf-query-perl That is assuming you are running an x86 architecture and not one of the other twelve available architectures for Debian.
