Note though that 'make test' for spamassassin will fail if the system's
network ports are sufficiently locked down by iptables/ipchains.  It hangs
for a long time.  If that happens to you, try turning off ipchains/iptables
while you run make test, then turn it on again when you're done.

And if, like me, your first thought upon seeing that was "well how do I know
it's 'f-prot' instead of 'F-Prot' or 'fprot'", then it's worth noting that
the list of virus scanners is in the virus.scanners.conf file (which for me
is in /etc/MailScanner).

HTH,
