If you do a spamassassin -r to report spam it fails with 'Insecure dependency in connect while running with -T switch at /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.0/i386-linux-thread-multi/IO/Socket.pm line 114.' I've read that it seems to be related to 'spamcop' reporting. Here is the spamassassin bug report I found: http://bugzilla.spamassassin.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4118 It was closed with "Looks like this is just (at the least) a Perl5.8.1 issue. Upgrading Perl to 5.8.6 made the taint warning/error go away." Also bug http://bugzilla.spamassassin.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3899 was closed with "I upgraded the system in question to Fedora Core 2 and the problem disappeared. Weird! Perhaps there was something funky in a Perl library? Anyway, this is solved for me." In order to install some of the newer stuff I used CPAN to install some modules. I noticed that Troy Engel said he rolled some custom RPM's for perl modules - should I not be installing via CPAN?
