Thanks for the reply, John. I believe there is a problem with more than
one perl5/Mail dir hanging around on the system, which I will be
addressing shortly - not that this should be an issue, SA is configured
to read one config directory, not two..

I'd say you've hit the nail on the head. I recently did an upgrade from
"dpkg -i" at the previous admin's recommendation. Methinks the method
used to install the original SA was different.. probably compiled,
though, instead of CPAN.

Ok. That I can understand. Thank-you very much for your response, John.
I now have a plan for the weekend to knock out SA completely and
re-install it after backup of Config and Bayes data.

Thanks again!
Cheers,
Michael.
