For the list archives, this is a Solaris problem. Us Linux folks are good to
go.

I did 2 more installs Saturday, giving me 2 RHEL U3 boxes, and a RedHat 8
box.

Kudos to Julian for MailScanner, and his SpamAssassin 3.0 installation
package. These mail servers are working flawlessly, showing a 30% spam rate.


Cheers!
