If you are using Charles Edwards' spamassassin RPMs then you do not need anything in /etc/rc.d/rc.local just start the spamassassin service in drakxservices. I would not expect spamc/spamd to be that much faster than spamassassin, so you had better check it is actually working by looking for the X-spam header it puts in the mails. If you check /var/log/mail/info spamd logs how long each mail takes to process. derek -- www.jennings.homelinux.net http://twiki.mdklinuxfaq.org
