Oh ..okay..

No, doesn't work that way on SuSE machines.  Not on mine anyway.

Anyway, to get back to where I started from.  To kill some of my spam 
I thought I might have a go at Spamassassin and MailScanner on my own 
machine.  Two days of discussion on the MailScanner list with the 
author has revealed that he's not interested in producing some 
software that works with my version of Linux.  So, tough.  That 
leaves SpadderAssassin.  

This looks good but so far the .procmailrc file and other things have 
not yielded to configuration.  So, could be a long week :)  Been able 
to get procmail, fetchmail and postfix going but SpadderAssassin 
could be difficult.
