Installing SpamAssassin on OS X 10.3.9 Server

["W. S. Wellington" <w....@comcast.net>]

Hi
	I have been trying to install SA on an OS X 10.3.9 Server using CPAN.

I am following instructions from http://developer.apple.com/server/ 
fighting_spam.html

In CPAN I have typed
	install Mail::SpamAssassin

It goes through a bunch of things, and then asks me for the  
psotmaster address, which I give it, and then gets hung up on  
Digest::SHA1, claiming that I do not have the current version.

I try to install Digest::SHA1 in CPAN but it claims that my version  
is up to date.

 From a couple of google searches it seems that some folks who were  
trying to install SA on FreeBSD had a similar issue, but I don't see  
any solution.

I am at a loss as to where to go from here.  Any Ideas??

Below is the output of my attempt to install SA

Thanks...  Bill Wellington

I have SA running on my OS/X box (10.4). From what I recall, I 
compiled from source, so that may be worth trying.
