Hi
        I have been trying to install SA on an OS X 10.3.9 Server using CPAN.

I am following instructions from http://developer.apple.com/server/ fighting_spam.html

In CPAN I have typed
        install Mail::SpamAssassin

It goes through a bunch of things, and then asks me for the psotmaster address, which I give it, and then gets hung up on Digest::SHA1, claiming that I do not have the current version.

I try to install Digest::SHA1 in CPAN but it claims that my version is up to date.

From a couple of google searches it seems that some folks who were trying to install SA on FreeBSD had a similar issue, but I don't see any solution.

I am at a loss as to where to go from here.  Any Ideas??

Below is the output of my attempt to install SA

Thanks...  Bill Wellington


checking module dependencies and their versions...

********************************************************************** *****
ERROR: the required Digest::SHA1 module is installed,
but is not an up-to-date version.

  The Digest::SHA1 module is used as a cryptographic hash for some
  tests and the Bayes subsystem.  It is also used by Razor2.


********************************************************************** *****
NOTE: the optional Net::DNS (version 0.34) module is installed,
but is not an up-to-date version.

  Used for all DNS-based tests (SBL, XBL, SpamCop, DSBL, etc.),
  perform MX checks, and is also used when manually reporting spam to
  SpamCop.  Recommended.

  If this is installed and you are using network tests of any variety
  (which is the default), then you need to make sure the Net::DNS
  version is sufficiently up-to-date:

  - version 0.34 or higher on Unix systems
  - version 0.46 or higher on Windows systems


********************************************************************** *****
NOTE: the optional Mail::SPF::Query module is not installed.

Used to check DNS Sender Policy Framework (SPF) records to fight email
  address forgery and make it easier to identify spams.


********************************************************************** *****
NOTE: the optional IP::Country module is not installed.

Used by the RelayCountry plugin (not enabled by default) to determine
  the domain country codes of each relay in the path of an email.


********************************************************************** *****
NOTE: the optional Net::Ident module is not installed.

  If you plan to use the --auth-ident option to spamd, you will need
  to install this module.


********************************************************************** *****
NOTE: the optional IO::Socket::INET6 module is not installed.

  This is required if the first nameserver listed in your IP
  configuration or /etc/resolv.conf file is available only via
  an IPv6 address.


********************************************************************** *****
NOTE: the optional IO::Socket::SSL module is not installed.

  If you wish to use SSL encryption to communicate between spamc and
  spamd (the --ssl option to spamd), you need to install this
  module. (You will need the OpenSSL libraries and use the
  ENABLE_SSL="yes" argument to Makefile.PL to build and run an SSL
  compatibile spamc.)


********************************************************************** *****
NOTE: the optional LWP::UserAgent module is not installed.

  The "sa-update" script requires this module to make HTTP requests.


********************************************************************** *****
NOTE: the optional HTTP::Date module is not installed.

  The "sa-update" script requires this module to make HTTP
  If-Modified-Since GET requests.

REQUIRED module out of date: Digest::SHA1
optional module out of date: Net::DNS

optional module missing: IP::Country
