Thanks for the advice.
I did google as you suggested,
but found that most of the responses seemed to suggest
that one had to (or should) make a whole plethora of changes.
The simplest, and most lucid, advice I found was in
<http://www.joeldare.com/wiki/linux:adding_the_spamhouse_sbl_and_xbl_to_sendmail>
where the author suggested simply adding the line
FEATURE(`dnsbl',`sbl-xbl.spamhaus.org')dnl
to /etc/mail/sendmail.mc
running "make -C /etc/mail" and "service sendmail restart".
Assuming this is correct, and is an effective safeguard,
it seems a little surprising to me that it is not suggested
somewhere in the Fedora-13 documentation.
(Or maybe it is?)
I actually find SpamAssassin by itself is quite adequate,
reducing spam to perhaps 5% of my email.
But if adding SpamHaus improves even this
I am more than willing to try it.
