The ideal thing for fedora users would be pre-built rpms from a source that is kept up to date along with all the dependencies. Lacking that, installing the perl modules via CPAN and building from source isn't bad. Building your own local RPMs doesn't make a lot of sense to me unless you are updating a lot of similar machines since otherwise you have to repeat extra work for every change. One thing that would help would be a list of the commands to do a CPAN install of all the required modules. I got it to work from your HOWTO, but still don't understand why I could say: install Mail::Audit but had to specify install D/DS/DSKOLL/MIME-tools-5.417.tar.gz (and know the latest version number) and likewise for MailTools and libnet. -- Les Mikesell [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Visit http://www.mimedefang.org and http://www.canit.ca MIMEDefang mailing list [email protected] http://lists.roaringpenguin.com/mailman/listinfo/mimedefang
