Ok, he knows what he is doing, so it should be properly built, just requiring EPEL to be installed.
It is easy to end up with a dependency on a package that is in EPEL when you are playing with source rpms that were originally built for Fedora and build them on CentOS.
To summarise what to do about it. (The -y option just causes yum to not ask some confirmations that you would have to answer y to, I include it because I'm lazy).
1. Install EPEL using the commands sudo yum -y install epel-release sudo yum -y update 2. Install the rpm package using the command sudo yum -y install spamassassin-3.4.4-1.el7.centos.x86_64.rpm Regards, Sidney
