Thank you, Peter, for the advice.

Done. It appears to be ready.

Done. (freshclam now executes, without warnings).
And, I installed Razor and think I have installed Spam Assassin (the tests I
executed appear to work).
What remains is to correctly modify the /etc/init.d/sendmail script to
implement two startups of sendmail. I have a syntax error in the script and
I believe it is coming from this section:
-------------------------------------------
daemon /usr/sbin/sendmail $([ "$DAEMON" = yes ] && echo -bd \
-OPrivacyOptions=noetrn -ODeliveryMode=queueonly
-OQueueDirectory=/var/spool/mqueue.in \
$([ -n "$QUEUE" ]
daemon /usr/sbin/sendmail echo -q $QUEUE
-------------------------------------------
which is part of the "# Start daemons" section of code.
I get a syntax error, grumbling something about an unexpected ";" token on
line 77, but I think it's got more to do with my coding of these two lines.
I'm not all that familiar with C.
Care to have a go at helping me debug this script?
Thanks in advance!
