the purpose why these modules are not packaged is:
IO::Socket::SSL is an optional requirement of Spamassassin. It will only
be used (if installed) by spamd and spamc, in order to use an encrypted
SSL connection from spamc (the spamassassin client) to spamd (the
spamassassin daemon).
spamd will only be used by p3scan, which then spawns a spamc process for
each mail which will be downloaded using POP3.
the content then will be passed to spamd which does the checks.

the ssl optional is thought to be used if spamc will be called on a
remote machine different to the machine which runs spamd.

it is not necessary to encrypt traffic which will never leave one of the
network interfaces. for that matter and also because we try to keep the
distribution as small as possible (installations on cf may become an
option), we left out this module.

i have never seen this log entry, i recently tried but had no error log
appearing. did you change something?
maybe we should explicitely disable ssl, since there is a possibility
for it.

i can reproduce the error message with spamd --version, but the daemon
runs correctly also without this module.. so please consider this error
message as warning message.



as of the Sys/Hostname/Long.pm problem, this module is needed by SPF. I
left it out because it had so many dependencies which we never will
require. I think this module is also an optional, since SPF works on my
test machine also without this module. Besides, Sys::Hostname is shipped
and should do the job.

(you can test it this way:

perl -MMail::SPF::Query -le 'print for
Mail::SPF::Query->new(helo=>shift, ipv4=>shift, sender=>shift)->result'
lala 1 [EMAIL PROTECTED]

it should inform you that 'testhost' is not a permitted sender)

here also, i did not find any log entries on my system.
