Hi, I am in a linux class in college right now, and we have an assignment where we need to setup a postfix email server. I found this guide online and it seems really great, I am just having a few problems and was hoping someone could help me. I have made it to page 4, and this is where I am having problems. I had just gotten done configuring SpamAssassin, and am in the bring it all together step. It asks me to run the su postfix -p -c 'spamassassin -x -D -C /opt/MailScanner/etc/spam.assassin.prefs.conf --lint' command and hope SpamAssassin is happy.. well unfortunatly it wasn't It tells me: [3699] warn: lint: 3 issues detected, please rerun with debug enabled for more information I will now post the whole output it gave me in case someone needs to look through it to try and help me.

I am a linux newbie, so I am just trying to take in the most I can. If anyone has ANY SUGGESTIONS AT ALL, I am open to them. I am really stuck right now and could appreciate any and all help. Can someone with some more experience guide me in the right direction so I can fix this problem and will let me move on to the next steps? Thanks a lot guys, I look forward to hearing from you
Some Perl modules are missing: IP::Country and IO::Socket. Please install them. Then there seems to be something wrong with DCC. Is it installed? Are the paths to it correct in your SpamAssassin configuration?
