I downloaded the rpm in this directory and tried a 'yum localinstall', 
and all 43 dependencies are present.

there was nothing to do.

Of course even with spamassassin fixed, I still need help with epel7, as 
things like clamav need to be built for armv7hl...

step by step and we will have all the things needed for a mailserver.
