Hi Ron, If you are using amavisd-new, then you won't see SA loaded anywhere like you see amavis or postfix. Amavisd-new runs the SpamAssassin script in its own daemonized mode. If you want to see what amavisd is doing try starting it from the command line like this: amavisd debug Watch for the lines where it loads the various modules: Aug 25 07:22:43 samx2 amavisd[23078]: Lookup::SQL code NOT loaded Aug 25 07:22:43 samx2 amavisd[23078]: Lookup::LDAP code NOT loaded Aug 25 07:22:43 samx2 amavisd[23078]: AMCL-in protocol code loaded Aug 25 07:22:43 samx2 amavisd[23078]: SMTP-in protocol code loaded Aug 25 07:22:43 samx2 amavisd[23078]: ANTI-VIRUS code NOT loaded Aug 25 07:22:43 samx2 amavisd[23078]: ANTI-SPAM code loaded and Aug 25 07:22:43 samx2 amavisd[23078]: SpamControl: initializing Mail::SpamAssassin Also, you can watch only SA related items by starting it with: amavisd debug-sa Lastly, are you running amavisd in a chroot jail? If so did you correctly setup all the chroot directories and copy the needed files over? -matt
