Re: RPM Installed SpamAssassin

I have the same problem integrating SpamAssassin with postfix.  There
doesn't seem to be any easy way to integrate a tool like SA with any MTA,
and people wonder why the masses don't flock to Linux?  Here's a perfect
example....jump thru this hoop on 1 foot, then skip 3 times on the other
foot while holding an arm in the air, and if all goes right, you MIGHT just
have been able to integrate this piece of software with that one.

Don't get me wrong, I love *nix....but it's most certainly NOT because
software integrates easily with each other.....
