Yes, certain. It was installed from an RPM I found on the web. It reports
itself as 3.0.2 to Webmin.

I have never tried it before, as the box was only for my use. Now I have
users who want to enter their own rules.

My /etc/init.d/spamassasin file contains:

SPAMDOPTIONS="-d -c -m2 -H"


and my /etc/procmailrc contains:

:0fw: spamassassin.lock
* < 131072
| /usr/bin/spamc

I thought that was the case, I was just concerned it was affecting the
other functionality.

many thanks!
