Douglas and anyone else,

Okay - well, I followed your suggestion and gave it a shot.  Below is the entire 
/etc/rc.d/init.d/spamassassin file as modified -  SPAMDOPTIONS="-d -c -a -m5 -H -i 
0.0.0.0"   - after which I restarted the service.

It still isn't working.

Any other suggestions?

Jesse

PS.  Merry Christmas
