I think there is a little misunderstanding here. You can use spamassassin in two ways. Firstly as a perl standalone application, in which case you call it with the command 'spamassassin'. This is the simplest way to use spamassassin. See 'man spamassassin' Or secondly as a pair of C programmes called spamd and spamc. Spamd is the daemon which runs continuously, and spamc is the client to access spamd. Spamd/spamc are better for larger mail servers because they have much smaller memory requirements and are faster. My guide describes using spamd/spamc with a Postfix server. See 'man spamc' derek -- www.jennings.homelinux.net http://twiki.mdklinuxfaq.org
