I believe the RedHat SA package is pretty much just the same as installing

kind of milter, or procmail configuration to make sendmail use SA.

What is required to
get Spamassassin working with Sendmail when both were installed during the
initial Redhat 8.0 installation? I have configured sendmail for local delivery,
and that is working fine. When I send "test spam", everything comes thorough.
Any help is appreciated.
