Steve,

Thanks,

 I always used the SRC rpm to rebuild, but now it's not available anywhere.

So, just to clear up a few things before I destroy this machine worse than
what I may already have done:

Does unzipping the Mail-spamassassin file and installing it leave me with
the same thing as what I have.

What is this INSTALL-rpm.sh  thing Julian has supposed to do then.

Hope that doesn't come across as mean or anything. I would just like to
know.

Steve
