If SA was installed from a RedHat rpm there will already be a "spamassassin" script in /etc/rc.d/init.d and you should be able to tell if spamd is running from the output of "ps -ef | grep spamd". If it is running, it may be worthwhile adding spamc to your mail setup: it should automatically use the running version of spamd which, of course, will be restarted whenever the box is rebooted. It goes without saying that you should talk to the system's owners before doing that, specially if your mail volume is significant. Martin
