Thanks, I was not aware of cpan2rpm. SA requires a bunch of stuff - from 
my notes:

Digest::SHA1, HTML::Parser, Storable, MIME::Base64, Net::DNS, Net::SMTP, 
Mail::SPF::Query, Time::HiRes, Net::Ident, IO::Socket::SSL, 
IP::Country::Fast

I never could get SPF Query to work though. It installs but fails its tests.

By the way, after looking at the Spamassassin PERL code, I found a 
workaround. Adding 'score RCVD_IN_BL_SPAMCOP_NET 0' to my user prefs 
disables spamcop reporting so it doesn't hit the error condition. I 
updated the spamassassin bug (3899) entry with this tidbit for others 
that may encounter it.
