spamassassin is included in the core!
But why?? Linux does not need it. Windoze does but FC != windoze.
IMO an antivirus on linux is an extras thing. In addition I am not convinced
that an open src antivirus is the best defense against M$ viruses but maybe
that is just me.
Just where do you draw the line?? Not everyone is going to be happy with the
packages contained in FC. That is after all the way things like this work. :-)
