Thanks, I'll look and see if that happened to me as well. I make backups, as
well, as I am 1 to 2 steps above novice. I've installed Spamassassin and
Clam, and they are running properly. But they don't seem to be set up
correctly, as there is no header info, and test spam messages are not
affected. So I must have something configured wrong. I've searched high and
low for tutorials on setting them up on my configuration, Scientific Linux /
BlueOnyx 5108R.
