Hi all.

Sorry for my lame email replies, (please excuse the pun), 
but I had problems with my email recently.

I've just had to clear out ~6,000 SPAM messages from my new 
hosting providers web mail account :(

Yes - I definately !!!HATE SPAM!!!

I had set up mail redirection to my ISP's webmail. 
It appears that instead of being redirected, the mail was 
accumulating on the new webmail account, and I was getting a 
*copy* sent to my ISP mail account. The spam filtering at my 
ISP is excellent, and this was blocking out the spam being 
sent to my domain name, which was then building up on the 
new webmail account, where I moved my hosting to.

I had to d/l the spam in batches of 1,000, and then delete 
then delete the mail spool inbox, to clear it all.

I'm monitoring this web mail account now, to see if 
SpamAssasin is doing it's job OK.

This was OFF at the karsites domain name web mail account.

It's on now though ;)

Anyway, without hijacking my original post I have the 
following question.

If a package is installed, eg sox, the repo it came from is 
no longer showing. It just says 'installed' which is not 
that helpfull. Maybe the repo should be shown in an 
immutable field, that does not get updated when the package 
is installed?

How can I find out the repo sox is in, so I can enable the 
source code for that particular repo, to rebuild this 
package?

Is there an rpm or yum command I need to tell me where an 
installed package came from?

Kind Regards,

Keith Roberts
