    No, just because the following files reside in the
    /usr/share/doc subtree doesn't mean they're
    documentation, they actually are spamassassin tools
    which are useful and are *not* contained in the
    standard spamassassin FC1 rpm:

    /usr/share/doc/spamassassin-tools-2.63/tools
    /usr/share/doc/spamassassin-tools-2.63/tools/README.speedtest
    /usr/share/doc/spamassassin-tools-2.63/tools/check_bayes_db
    /usr/share/doc/spamassassin-tools-2.63/tools/check_whitelist
    /usr/share/doc/spamassassin-tools-2.63/tools/mboxsplit
    /usr/share/doc/spamassassin-tools-2.63/tools/speedtest
    /usr/share/doc/spamassassin-tools-2.63/tools/split_corpora
    /usr/share/doc/spamassassin-tools-2.63/tools/test_extract
    /usr/share/doc/spamassassin-tools-2.63/tools/translation_prep.pl

    Yes it does work Phil, but the package doesn't contain
    the tool within the spamassassin-tools package. You
    can check the www.spamassassin.org site for the RPM
    packages they release. The packagers of FC1 don't do
    the right thing by neglecting to also package
    perl-Mail-SpamAssassin and spamassassin-tools.

    How can I find out the packager of the FC1
    spamassassin RPM so I can ask him to also package the
    other two RPM's?
