I had expected your RPMs to work with RH 9 but I also wondered whether
it would work on 7.1.

These are limited-functionality appliances built back when those RH
releases were current.  And they're running now at customer sites, 
so it isn't my call either.

We're testing CentOS now as a platform for new installs, and so I was 
particularly happy to see that your static RPMs work well with our 
minimal CentOS 3.6 install.

The availability of static all-in-one RPMs is great news for our customers,
since it is the simplest installation possible, less to go wrong, etc.
And any of our customers that are concerned about performance/memory can 
download and build bogofilter from source.  It's the best of both worlds.

Thanks again to you and to David Relson.  If you want me to run the same
sort of tests on subsequent significant releases, just let me know.
