[CLUE-Tech] sendmail issue

[Mike Staver]

Argh!  I was soo happy to get Spam Assassin set up on my new linux box,
but I'm having a problem here.  I got spam assassin to work fine for me
by doing this:

It works *great* for me.  I had another user on my box do the exact same
thing, and he gets the error message below when anyone tries to send him
mail....  Anyone know what would cause this??
