I think I finally solved my problem. The culprit was the auto-whitelist option '-a'. I changed my SPAMDOPTIONS to SPAMDOPTIONS='-d -c" in my /etc/sysconfig. '| spamc' works like a charm together with spamd.
Thanks a lot to all of you for the tremendous help. I still need to explore this auto whitelist option and why does RedHat's SA configure the startup for auto whitelist? It sure is confusing ..... __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Y!
