Thanks. Good to know that some of those modules are optional. SpamAssassin was already in place on our server when I started working here. But sometime after the old Network Admin left, it stopped flagging our emails.
If bayes is optional for SA, then I could change use_bayes 1 to use_bayes 0 in local.cf and comment out the other bayes_ classifier options and it should work?

Just running -lint doesn't say anything about them.
