I do not have a hidden spamassassin directory in my home directory. Shouldn't it be created automagically, with no intervention on my part? For installation, I did an "urpmi spamassassin" and it installed the program and dependencies without any errors. But, I can't call anything spamassassin from the command line (#spamassassin -a) for example. The window just sits there, until I close it. Mandrake CC says the daemon is running.

Why is the /etc/mail/spamassassin/local.cnf file where it is? Can I create a /home/myuserdirectory/.spamassassin/ manually and copy the local.cnf into that instead of a /user_prefs? And, since this is a Mandrake rpm for spamassassin, why wasn't the hidden directory in my home created by the rpm? Is this normal behavior for the Mandrake rpm, or have I screwed something up, somehow? Just where to put my spamassassin config files and what should be in them has me confused. And since the recommended call #spamassassin -a produces absolutely nothing on my installation I think something is messed up, but don't know what. e.
