Thank you for your response. Not sure which I should use. I built the rpms for the tarball with rpmbuild which created the following;

Should I uninstall "spamd"? Also, should I install these using Yast or just use rpm -Uvh?
If you update using rpm -Uvh, you will I believe remove /etc/init.d/spamd and /etc/sysconfig/spamd. This will be an issue since these will not be replaced by the installation of the new RPMs built from source, so it may be wise to back up both files first for subsequent reinstallation afterwards. Alternatively, if you download the SpamAssassin 3.0.4 RPMs from the SuSE employee's folder at ftp.suse.com referred to in my previous posting, these are likely to work and also should contain all relevant files necessary for SpamAssassin to work seamlessly on a SuSE installed system. The three RPMs can be installed using rpm -Uvh (or presumably using YaST, however I have not personally tried that method of updating software on a running SuSE system). -- Anthony Edwards anthony.edwards@uk.easynet.net
