That's a weird one and took a moment to figure out. Last nights updates 
installed an RPM that depends on RPMs out of the CentOS "extra" YUM 
repository. Typically YUM should install these dependencies by itself, but 
apparently some BlueOnyx installs don't have the CentOS "extra" YUM repository 
enabled, while some do. My boxes included. About half of them have it enabled, 
half have it disabled and I didn't manually turn them on as far as I can 
remember.

To help to sort that out I moved a copy of the needed RPMs from the CentOS 
"extra" YUM repository to the regular BlueOnyx YUM repository. These RPMs are:

php-pear-Auth-SASL
php-pear-Mail
php-pear-Net-SMTP
php-pear-Net-Socket

Yeah, I just published a fix for that as well.

To fix your server, run "yum clean all; yum update" and it should install the 
above listed RPMs as well as an updated base-network-am.
