I found some clues in vette.  My main problem was that SPAMASSASSIN_HOST = 
'localhost' was the only thing that worked for me - using my FQDN' or 
hostname did not work.  Then my testing was obfuscated by using a spam that 
was above the hold score.  Tnx bandwidth and tips received.  Working great 
now.  - John
