In fact, I didn't build it, because on the machine where I tried to
build, I couldn't run mms (there is a security hole in xlib, so the
system administrators removed the exec right from it, and mms is linked
with xlib). What I did was that I ran spamassassin.raw and spamd.raw.
spamassassin.raw worked fine (it complains about some filenames in UNIX
syntax, but that's all), but unfortunately, spamd.raw wants to fork,
and it does not work on VMS.
Bye,NAR
