Hi everyone,
  I have MailScanner 4.26-1 running on 4 mail servers. All servers
  are Sun Workstations with 3 of them running Solaris 8 and the main
  server running Solaris 9.

  I wanted to upgrade to MailScanner 4.28.5-2 that was released in
  the last day but before doing that I decided to upgrade my Spamassassin.

  I was running SpamAssassin 2.61 on the Solaris 9 machine
  with perl 5.6.1  and upgraded this morning to 2.63.
  I downloaded the tar file and did the make and make install from
  there

  Now...
   1) spamd is running (I don't know why)  It never ran before
      entries from the syslog say..

...etc,etc,etc.


   2) I have no bayes databases that I can find anywhere
   3) I found in the install log that the rules were installed
       in /usr/perl5/5.6.1/share/spamassassin
       So I editted the MailScanner.conf file and changed the
       location to that, stopped and restarted MailScanner and
       now it doesn't look like spamd/spamc are running.

 Did I go wrong in the make of Spamassassin?  Can I uninstall it?
 I don't know how to uninstall a perl module.
 Don't want to upgrade to the new MailScanner until I know this is
 working.  I haven't had any problems in the past.

Aloha, Sharon
