Sorry I think I goofed up in my explanation. I'm trying to run it on the
main server for now.

The daemonized version listens on a port and unless you want to let the
world use it it needs to be blocked. The default RHL 7.2 creates, for the
most part, the correct firewall rules.

As above I'm only running it on the main server. I'm going to try plain
old Spamassassin next but really want the daemon version (less resources
and shorter start up time) running instead. If SA runs it will hold me
for awhile and I'll look into the init script v_* to see if it will solve
the problem.
Wish I was more of a programmer and understood the network stuff
better. (Wish in one hand and spit in the other - see which fills first.)
