OK - that's clear now. Thanks for the help - I'm monitoring things now. The 
only thing I've noticed is that I can't get Spambayes to run. That looks like 
this:

# python /usr/bin/sb_server.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/sb_server.py", line 112, in ?
    from spambayes.Version import get_version_string
ImportError: cannot import name get_version_string

Could this be along the lines you're talking about? Far as I can tell, 
Spambayes just installs a bunch of python scripts in /usr/bin when it 
installs - I haven't had the time to look into it farther. I do have it 
working on my other FC5 box, at work, which has been maintained in the same 
way as this one, though with a few more experiments...
