Curious; those libraries should be provide by openssl-0.9.7f-7

$ rpm -q --provides openssl-0.9.7f-7
config(openssl) = 0.9.7f-7
libcrypto.so.5
libssl.so.5
openssl = 0.9.7f-7

You probably need to update spamassassin to the version in Extras, which
*should* be linked against the later version of openssl shipped with
FC4. However, you could also resolve this by installing openssl097a to
provide the older openssl library.
