Why are you using locate when you have the full path? What does ls /etc/default/spamassassin have to say? Also, you are aware that `/etc/init.d/spamassassin start` starts the spamd daemon, but you can also run /usr/bin/spamassassin on demand without needing the daemon at all, right? From your description of your overall setup (no public SMTP service, just collecting messages periodically from a POP3 mailbox), you're probably better off not using the daemon since there are security risks inherent in using it (see /usr/share/doc/spamassassin/README.spamd.gz for discussion of them) and you aren't likely to need the performance benefits or concurrent message handling abilities that it provides. Note that, although I've run spamassassin for several years, I have never done anything with sylpheed-claws. But your use of it seems unlikely to affect any of what I've said about spamassassin. -- I would rather be exposed to the inconvenience attending too much Liberty than those attending too small degree of it. - Thomas Jefferson -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
