This seems to indicate that some extra work needs to be done to get SA working 100% on CentOS, which is indeed the case. .) no less true on Fedora .) SA does not need to be 100% operative to be effective. E.g. the stock toaster has only local rules enabled. > I now have five fedora boxes running qmail-toaster, all are stable and > spam free.

This comes down to stability/security. With CentOS, only security updates are released and should be applied. With Fedora, you get security and development updates, which increases the risk of instability. > I posted my notes previously on this list on fedora installs.

Will you kindly take the time to post your fdr60 notes on the wiki? I'm sure it would be a valuable addition. -- -Eric 'shubes' --------------------------------------------------------------------- QmailToaster hosted by: VR Hosted <http://www.vr.org> --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
