Thanks to all who helped, and especially Sandy, I've got my suse 10.0 box running my mail server now. My 8.2 box soon to be re-tasked. Mostly default postfix with cyrus imap. I do plan to add pop at some point for some email users.
I've never used amavis before, nor spamassassin, and was wondering if someone could help me get kick started. I have amavisd-new installed from the 10.0 dvd, not yet installed spamassassin. I'm under the impresson that these both work together?
I am getting mail in and out, but /var/log/warn shows many many of the following:

As you can see, amavisd-new is already installed and integrated. Spamassassin should be usable once installed. Though you should be aware that it will only be effective after you have fed sa-learn some hundred spam and ham mails. In /etc/amavisd.conf you can remove the comments of your installed virus scanner. After a restart of amavis it should be able to use the scanner and won't complain anymore. For a start you can use clam-av. Take care to update the signatures at least once a day with fresh-clam.
I assume that I don't have anything actually configured in amavisd.conf, but not sure what to enable. And not at all sure how spamassassin fits into all this.
As I said, you need to tell amavis, which virus scanner to use in /etc/amavisd.conf. Sandy -- List replies only please! Please address PMs to: news-reply2 (@) japantest (.) homelinux (.) com
