Ok, I have to ask. I tried to yum install the latest openwebmail (from the openwebmail repo), and got a transaction check error about a conflict with some packages which are needed by amavisd and spamassassin (packages originating from rpmforge, I think). Below is the yum output.
By googling I found a lot of descriptions of the problem, but no solution.

yum tells you what the problem is, and the solution.
the problem is that both the packages perl-Compress-Zlib-2.015-1 and perl-IO-Compress-2.024-1 contain the same file. the solution is to install only one of those two packages.
there is a deeper problem, though: whoever wrote the openwebmail RPM specified some of the Perl dependencies in a problematic fashion. it looks like you got the openwebmail package from the project page; look at how these dependencies are specified:
$ rpm -qp --requires openwebmail-2.53-3.i386.rpm perl perl-suidperl perl-Compress-Zlib perl-Text-Iconv perl(MIME::Base64) >= 3.00 ...
notice how the dependency on MIME::Base64 is specified correctly (e.g. perl(MIME::Base64)), but the other Perl module dependencies are specified by package name (e.g. perl-Compress-Zlib instead of perl(Compress::Zlib)). this is the convention used by RPMs from upstream with Perl module dependencies, and it's there for good reason; sometimes Perl modules move around from version to version. if you specify Perl dependencies using the perl() convention, then yum can do the right thing in its dependency resolution and make sure you get the modules you need; if you specify Perl dependencies using hard-coded package names, yum's hands are tied, and you get conflicts.
so the real fix, in this case, is to contact the openwebmail developers and ask them to change their specfile and rebuild.

Ok, but that is no solution yet - both packages seem to be needed - one by openwebmail and the other by amavisd and spamassassin.

Ok, thanks for the rpm -qp tip. I will contact openwebmail, though they probably know already (they should).
Meanwhile, any (more dirty) fixes?

You can install one of them using rpm with --no-deps switch. Hopefully this will not brake anything Zlib.pm related. I usually do this when I install various perl modules from rpmforge. Some of them apparently conflict with perl installation or perl modules from CentOS.
HTH,
