I've been successfully running it for the last two weeks after using

perl -MCPAN -e 'install DBI'

breaks rpm dependencies (so make sure perl is up to date first), but
after only getting two spams in the past two weeks from that mail
server, it was worth it :)

I also played around with DBD::Mysql and but it wouldn't compile - I was
wanting to get it working on another two boxes that route mail I receive
and document exactly the steps I followed before posting to the list....
Will do so as soon as I can actually get them done :)
