I don't think so. But you will have a /usr/share/doc/packages/sendmail/* directory with docs, and you may grep there for references to spamassassin. Or do a simple "locate spamassassin", as Patrick suggests.
Hmm, this gets interesting. 1. Grep tells me there is no reference to anything like spam* in /usr/share/ doc/packages/sendmail/* But that is quite possible I guess.
Could be. By the way, I usually do those text searches with 'mc' instead (midnight commander) because it allows me to view the found files in context. There is no GUI close to what mc can do - surprisingly.
2. But also, my system has no "locate" command !!!!??? I know this is a regular Linux command, but is just isn't there. (I also checked in /bin). How could this be ?
Locate (and updatedb) is not installed by default since... probably SuSE 8.1 or 8.1 (security reasons, I understand). You can easily find it with yast and install it - if it fails, tell it to search even descriptions. And if it fails, use pin instead, which never fails to find a file from the CDs, be it installed or not - but of course, pin can not install them. -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson
