perl build error

[Martin Randall <ma...@saintleo.edu>]

Hello.

I'm just testing spamassassin, and after doing a :-

perl -MCPAN -e shell                    [as root]
         o conf prerequisites_policy ask
         install Mail::SpamAssassin
         quit


it aborts with

which means nothing to me.

Any ideas why it is failing.

Searching in the wiki for "missing separator" I find this article:

Ugh...I just found it.

SA returning blank message body?

[Ron Phillips <ro...@netizenmedia.com>]

I have a client who has been receiving emails with blank message body, 
the content is viewable in text format but not HTML. The client is 
suggesting that SA is somehow stripping the HTML content. The couple he 
sent me were all flagged as non-spam, and this is only happening to a 
small percentage of his emails. I haven't yet received complaints from 
other clients. I really hope this isn't related to my server. The client 
also swears that his email from another host is not affected.

Doing a google, I found very little to explain why the content is being 
stripped. One user with a similar problem was refered to this message 
list. So hopefully you've fielded this issue before and I'm not alone.

If you thing that it's not SA, any suggestions would be appreciated.

I'm using Exim 4.43 with the latest version of SA.

Thank you.
