When I upgraded to 9.2 I also changed from using the perl based 'spamassassin' to the spamc/spamd combination which is daemonised and written in C. It seems to be considerably faster. To use it all you have to do is run the 'spamassassin' service and then in procmail/kmail or whatever just call 'spamc' instead of 'spamassassin' I'll be interested in trying version 2.6, but being lazy I shall probably wait until RPMs appear on Cooker. derek -- ---------------------------------- www.jennings.homelinux.net http://twiki.mdklinuxfaq.org
