I don't see what the problem is here.
I compiled spamassassin via "rpm -tb <spamassassin-tar-ball>" to give me
rpm's to install, and spamassassin is controlled via "chkconfig spamassassin
on" and service spamassassin start/stop/restart works fine.
If you are running a rhat box, you really should install all possible
packages as rpm's (in fact any distro that includes a package management
system you should install all possible software via that system) that way
you can handle such details as config file cleanups and other programming
handled by the package all in the system - so upgrades don't generally leave
random files that you really don't want sitting around the system.
Very valid response, especally for the sys admin that has many boxes to
maintain. Some people prefer to install some things "by hand'" via
tarball. I don't really think that it's valid for every situation, but I
like to do that so I can get a feel for what's going on with an
installation and what the requirements, are and what goes where when
installed. It just depends on how hands-on you want to be.
