Most RH-oriented init scripts are managed by the packaging system, and among other things will usually be overwritten by package upgrades. Thus the last three lines in that segment; it overrides the package default options with whatever you set in /etc/sysconfig/spamassassin. In this case, it also overrides the change you made in the previous lines. Add your "-s local5" to the SPAMDOPTIONS definition in /etc/sysconfig/spamassassin, and you should get your syslog output in the right place. ps x|grep spamd should show you the full command line of the currently-running spamd. -kgd
