I am cross posting, but I need to find an answer quick. I finally removed my rpm installation of Spamassassin and installed via CPAN, which allowed me to install the SpamCopURI plugin as well. When I run spamassssin --lint, I get an error on the SpamCopURI.cf Specifically:
Failed to compile URI SpamAssassin tests, skipping: (syntax error at /etc/mail/spamassassin/spamcop_uri.cf, rule SPAMCOP_URI_RBL, line 1, near "eval:"
Any ideas why this might be? I've also had problems with SpamAssassin itself since installed via CPAN, where I see these errors:
Scalar found where operator expected at (eval 17) line 686, near "} $self" (Missing operator before $self?) Failed to run header SpamAssassin tests, skipping some: syntax error at (eval 17) line 686, near "} $self"
Any guesses there? Perhaps related to the SpamCopURI plugin?
Which version of SpamAssassin are you running? SA 3 does not need SpamCopURI or the eval.
David wrote that he's using SA 2.63. Can anyone offer some suggestions? Sounds like a broken SA install to me....
By the way Gerry Doris reported similar issues earlier:
However, I did get everything working by removing "eval:" in each of the rules. My system for some reason doesn't like eval:
Hmmm, you must be running a pre 3.0 version of SA then, because 2.61 with the SpamCopURI plug-in needs the eval entry, however 3.0 does not because it uses a different architecture: URIDNSBL. If you are running a 3.0 version, then you are probably running your tests twice, since 3.0 already includes the URIDNSBL tests. Also, you do not need to install the SpamCopURI plug-in with 3.0 versions of SA.
Gerry, can you confirm which version of SA you are running?

I was/am running SA 2.63 on a Fedora 1 system. I started to notice some other strange things happening after I did the URI and SpamCopURI upgrade in addition to the "eval:" problem I was having.
I decided to go back and completely reinstall SA 2.63 and the two URI modules. Now the "eval:" line is working properly and the other weird stuff has stopped.
Sorry, but it looks like I had a hiccup during the install. All is working now.
and solved it by reinstalling SA and Perl::URI (presumably and SpamCopURI.
