I believe SA built from CPAN does *not*, so that's either your creation, or more likely part of the distro supplied package (I assume) that provides SA 3.2.

I was merely pointing out, that you now have two instances of each executable part of SA. spamc, spamd, sa-update, sa-learn, spamassassin. It all depends on your $PATH, which one is used -- or the path hard-coded into the calling (init) script. The idiots guide? Let's start by never have two different versions installed. :) > > What does 'spamd --version' report? What about 'which spamd'?

It merely talks to the daemon, which is already running -- started by your init script. -- char *t="\10pse\0r\0dtu...@ghno\x4e\xc8\x79\xf4\xab\x51\x8a\x10\xf4\xf4\xc4"; main(){ char h,m=h=*t++,*x=t+2*h,c,i,l=*x,s=0; for (i=0;i<l;i++){ i%8? c<<=1: (c=*++x); c&128 && (s+=h); if (!(h>>=1)||!t[s+h]){ putchar(t[s]);h=m;s=0; }}}
