It seems that the rawhide package of spamassassin really wants perl 5.8.1 even though the rpm doesn't state that that is a dependency. Rather than fiddling around with my perl environment and potentially breaking God knows what, I just uninstalled the rawhide spamassassin and downloaded and installed the rpms available from www.spamassassin.org's download page which work fine. Hopefully that may help someone else. Best, Darren -- ===================================================================== D. D.
