## Perl Modules Installation

To view any missing perl modules run the command:

```
spamassassin -D --lint 2>&1 | grep -i failed
```

## Mail::DMARC Perl Module Installation

> > > > > The DMARC Perl module used by **Spamassassin 4.0.0 or newer**. This module is required by the [DMARC](https://docs.danami.com/warden/user-guide/antispam-plugins/dmarc) plugin.

#### AlmaLinux / CloudLinux / RHEL / Rocky Linux

There are no pre-built Mail::DMARC packages for these OS so we must use cpanm to install them manually.

```
// install the Perl dependencies
yum install gcc perl-App-cpanminus perl-LWP-Protocol-https perl-Test-NoWarnings perl-Email-MessageID perl-MIME-Types perl-Email-MIME-Encodings \
perl-Email-MIME-ContentType perl-Test-Output perl-Class-Tiny perl-Path-Tiny perl-Test-Fatal perl-Email-Address-XS perl-MooX-Types-MooseLike \
perl-libnet perl-Email-Simple perl-Test-Exception perl-Email-MIME perl-Regexp-Common perl-DBD-SQLite perl-Net-DNS perl-Scope-Guard \
perl-File-Copy-Recursive perl-XML-LibXML perl-Email-Sender perl-Config-Tiny perl-Sub-Exporter perl-Email-Abstract perl-Throwable perl-Sub-Exporter \
perl-Email-Address perl-File-ShareDir perl-File-ShareDir-Install perl-Socket6

// AlmaLinux 10 (we can install the latest version of Mail::DMARC)
cpanm Mail::DMARC

// AlmaLinux 9 (we must install an older version of Mail::DMARC which is compatible with the Perl version on this OS)
cpanm Mail::DMARC@1.20260306

// AlmaLinux 8 (we must install Net::IDN::Encode manually and an older version of Mail::DMARC which is compatible with the Perl version on this OS)
cpanm Net::IDN::Encode
cpanm Mail::DMARC@1.20260306

// Sit back and relax while cpanm builds and installs all the required Perl modules. After this completes the Mail::DMARC and its dependencies should be installed.
```

#### Debian / Ubuntu

There are no pre-built Mail::DMARC packages for these OS so we must use cpanm to install them manually.

```
// install the Perl dependencies
sudo apt-get install perl build-essential libssl-dev cpanminus libemail-messageid-perl libmime-types-perl libemail-mime-encodings-perl libemail-mime-contenttype-perl \
libemail-address-xs-perl libmoox-types-mooselike-perl libnet-smtp-server-perl libemail-simple-perl libemail-mime-perl \
libxml-libxml-perl libemail-sender-perl libconfig-tiny-perl libsub-exporter-perl libemail-abstract-perl libregexp-common-perl libtest-output-perl libnet-idn-encode-perl \
libdbix-simple-perl libsub-uplevel-perl libdbd-sqlite3-perl libfile-sharedir-perl libtest-exception-perl

// install the Mail::DMARC perl module
sudo cpanm Mail::DMARC

// Sit back and relax while cpanm builds and installs all the required Perl modules. After this completes the Mail::DMARC and its dependencies should be installed.
```

## GeoIP2::Database::Reader Perl Module Installation

> > > > > The GeoIP2 Perl module used by **Spamassassin 3.4.2 or newer**. This module is required by the [RelayCountry](https://docs.danami.com/warden/user-guide/antispam-plugins/relaycountry) and [URILocalBL](https://docs.danami.com/warden/user-guide/antispam-plugins/urilocalbl) plugins.

#### AlmaLinux / CloudLinux / RHEL / Rocky Linux

```
yum install perl-GeoIP2 perl-MaxMind-DB-Reader-XS
```

#### Debian / Ubuntu

```
apt-get install libgeoip2-perl libmaxminddb0 libmaxmind-db-reader-xs-perl
```
