On SLES the problem I believe you are having is the difference in what the Yast scripts are looking for and the installs you have made using the rpms built from SA's tarball. If you build the tarball you will have a spamassassin rpm and a perl-Mail-spamassassin rpm. Yast will look for a perl-spamassassin rpm not perl-Mail-spamassassin. If you do not have a perl-spamassassin install in the system amavis or spamd will not start properly.
I might be behind where you are in the process, but first try this 1) Stop postifx, amavis, and spamassassin 2) Using Yast unistall all the spamassassin and perl-*-spamassassin rpms from the database. 3) Using Yast re-install only SLES9 SA rpms. Do not remove your pre files SA 2.6 will only use what it needs. 4) See if you can start or call SA with this install first. 5) Post back any problems you have. I run SLES 10 so I do not have rpms for 9. Check out Ander's site at Norrbring consulting I believe he supports SLES9 still. > John D.
