I recommend installing from package for your OS/distribution, if there is any. If there is not, you may consider switching/upgrading unless you exactly know why it's not available and agree with it, or have different reason to run it. > Is there a generic way to uninstall the old spamd version? Sorry for this > general question, my linux knowledge is very limited. No, however, most of SW distributions have their own way to install/uninstall a package. I don't know about CPAN. However I would advise you to ask in your distributions' forums/groups/lists first, they may advise you something better... -- Matus UHLAR - fantomas, uh...@fantomas.sk ; http://www.fantomas.sk/ Warning: I wish NOT to receive e-mail advertising to this address.
