    I tried to install the amavisd-new package that was in his directory.
    It tanked.

    Didn't have the decency to leave any errors either.
    It just stopped working.

    And on top of that, antivir can't be updated based on the current copy
    you get with SuSE 8.2.
    If you can't update the virus signatures it doesn't really do any good,
    now does it?

    This is getting frustrating.

    What I would like to do is have a spamfiltering email server.
    I was hoping I could do that with cyrus-imap but I don't see any way to
    get spamassassin into the loop.

    The only version of amavis that I was able to get working with this
    installation doesn't support it and the version that does support it
    doesn't run.

    All that noob bitching aside, is there any way to get spamassassins
    'spamd' to work with postfix and cyrus-imap?
    Normally I would run it through procmail, but cyrus doesn't support that.

    Any suggestions?
