I have set this up using the information on this page.  There was a 
little (okay a lot!) trial and error.

I was running redhat.  What got me in the end was the way that the spam 
assassin daemon was called - it was sticking from lines in on every 
message.  This can be changed with the folowing argument on calling the 
daemon : -F 0

I also downloaded the spam assassin daemon from CPAN.

Please give me a shout and tell me what difficulties you are having.

Cheers
Xander
