I may have made a typo...I'll check when I get back over in the AM.

The good news is that I installed perl-DB_file from CPAN as you
suggested, and Spam Assasin built and installed with no errors. It
also correctly parsed the test files.

So i'm getting pretty close...just have to get the DNS servers up
and all the MX references pointing our way and I can give it a test
drive - Qmail on Fedora Core 1.

Thanks for the help.

Stephen
