Its an outdated version of SA that has no Bayes support and a scoring 
system that spammers have already figured out how to circumvent. You 
really want the latest version. One of the cool things about the Bayes 
support is it keep the whole thing from being signature based like AV 
software. Thus as spammers find new tricks, your system can adapt 
without requiring you to manually change the scoring system.

BTW, found the SA specific reference I made yesterday. Looks like it is 
a unicode thing.

Enjoy,
C

Just add the following line to /etc/sysconfig/i18n:

LANG="C"

and everything will work just fine for us good old Americans boys. Also
add

LC_COLLATE=C

so that ls works correctly too.
