I'm running RedHat 9 - but I built both my MD and SA installs, so I can't
use RPM to check them, unfortunately.

Running SA in debug mode doesn't show any touches into /opt - but I'm
still seeing surprisingly low scores [I've modified my default down
to 4 - but most spam is hovering between 1 and 3, which seems all wet]

Further poking about yesterday showed that SA alone seems to be handing
out fairly reasonable scores, but SA in combination with MD is seeing
hideously low scoring.  It doesn't look to me as though I've turned off
any SA rules via MD - bayes, dns and rbl checks are all enabled - but
even after a restart, I'm not having much luck here.

Is anybody running with a spam threshold hovering around 1 or 2 ?

I'm quite puzzled here.

cheers!
