Chris Nice to see another SuSE user. Part of your problem is the nomenclature used by SuSE for perl-spamassassin as opposed to the rpm made via the tarball using rpmbuild which is perl-Mail-spamassassin if I recall correctly. I suspect that you have perl-spamassin installed correctly but spamassassin is an older version. Here is what I would do on a SuSE box. Go back into yast and reinstall the perl-mail-spamassassin and spamassassin from your CD or repo (SLES or openSUSE). Execute rpm -qa and make sure the system acknowledges that the versions of perl-sa and SA agree. Run spamassassin --lint -D as your amavis user to make sure the rules lint and the install is functioning without error. If the --lint gives you errors correct these first. Then cd to you SA tarball directory and install from source (perl Makefile.plm make, sudo make install). You rpm diretory via YAST will still tell you the old versions are installed, but via perl you can confirm the install of the new versions. If you try to install via CPAN you will get errors as SuSE runs Make Test as root and is a known bug for 3.2.1. If you want to install via rpms go to the SuSE build repos (software.opensuse.org) and search for spamassassin. There are a couple of builds for 3.2.0 there, also Norrbring consulting posts SuSE rpm builds which I have used with great results. Any problems post back.
