This is likely more a yum question than evolution but here goes...

I've installed spamassassin 3.11 via CPAN.  This is a level higher than 
what's available using yum.  I would like to update evolution but yum 
insists that I need to install spamassassin first.  Is there any way to 
force the install using yum?  I suppose I could download all the rpm 
packages (there are several needed to resolve dependencies) and install them 
manually but would prefer to have yum take care of it.
