These directions are pretty-much as I have done. I just used the rpm's and the script fell into place. I see that my problem appears to be that sendmail is not compiled with Milter support. Which sucks. I should be able to compile an rpm to do this, right? I'm on RH7.3, which evidently doesn't compile sendmail with milter support by default. I suppose I could always bring my sever up to RH9 but I wanted to be sure my spamassassin was working before doing a rebuild. In other words, I'd like to have a playbook that I can build a new system with and have everything like I want. Thanks so much for your instructions, though. I can at least start picking this apart.
