Thanks for answering Larry.

I'm under the impression that I could safely use "-e" because I also use "-x":

 "Don't use the 'safe fallback' error-recovery method, which passes
  through the unaltered message if an error occurs. Instead, exit
  with an error code, and let the MTA queue up the mails for a retry
  later. "

In other words: I expect that postfix will handle the cases where spamc
gets into trouble.  Are you saying this isn't true?

regards,
Alex
