Yes we use SpamAssasin as well, but the problem that I am having is on 
the end machine.

It used to work like this. Through the gateway, where all sorts of magic 
happened and then arrived on the W98 box.

Thunderbird took over and removed all of the junk e-mails that it 
detected as junk. Filters also removed a series of e-mails.

Junk mail deleted after the set period.

All was well.

All the above still works except for the Thunderbird flagging new mail 
as junk. This now has to be done manually. Then everything works as before.

Very, very frustrating.

It appears to be a TB problem.
