I'm using SA 3.02. with razor 2.67.
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?
