Okay, now everything seems to be kosher, except for the part that no message 
is checked :-)  I uncommented the non-on/off switch, and it seems to be 
returning true (i.e., check) :
2002-06-05 11:37:05 17FeiX-0003Zl-00 SA: SAEximRunCond expand returned: '1'
2002-06-05 11:37:05 17FeiX-0003Zl-00 SA: check succeeded, running spamc

However, it doesn't actually check the message:
2002-06-05 11:37:05 17FeiX-0003Zl-00 SA: SA didn't successfully run against 
message (time: 0/0 secs)

Now, I can run spamc from the commandline, and it works great. I'm using the 
debian packages, and double checked that it's in /usr/bin.  What else should 
I do/look at?

Thanks for the quick response, this seems like it's going to rock! :-)

This worked fine, thanks!
