spamassassin question [with blacklist question]

[Brian Kelsay]

Brian, since this is a Debian system, why not use apt-pinning for Spam 
Assassin to get the version from testing?  What does Spam Assassin 
depend on?  If it doesn't need the latest and greatest of a bunch of 
pkgs., then you shouldn't have much problem.  e.g. if it depends on 
Python, but doesn't need the latest.
