required module out of date (revised, sorry)

[Geno <ge...@yahoo.com>]

I sent the email too soon. My apologies.

I'm not the owner of the server. My host uses
Redhat Linux Enterprise 3 and I'm trying to
install Spamassassin 3.2.3. I don't know much
about linux and I'm trying to install this for
the first time. Again my apologies for not
including my platform and Spamassassin version.

The problem is:

Depending on the level of access you have; load cpan and do:
install HTML::Parser
install Net::DNS

If those fail you may be able to use yum to install them. Do yum list
available to see if they are listed under the perl modules.
