I found that if I started the service on the commandline using:

spamd -d -C /usr/local/etc/mail/spamassassin/ -r /var/run/spamd/spamd.pid


Is this actually scoring your email, normally?  IMO, the -C should point to
the configuration files that are in /usr/local/share/spamassassin which
generates the original error.

I tried your version and it does what you said but doesn't actually score
spam.

Urgh no!  I realized after I'd last posted on the list that that commandline
doesn't actually do anything to filter my spam... grr. :(

I then went on to try fixing the problem as quoted above using pkg_rmleaves
(ran pkg_rmleaves, removed p5-Mail-Spamassassin and all it's dependencies,
reinstalled SA), but this did not fix the problem for me either.

After that I reverted SA back to the old version just to stem the flow of
spam for now until either a fix is released or I get the chance to look into
it further.

FYI if anyone wants to revert back to the old version of the SA port, what I
did was:

   1. cd /usr/ports/ports-mgmt/portdowngrade/ (fantastic tool!)
Agreed, I knew it existed but had never used it.
   2. make install clean
   3. portdowngrade -s:pserver:anon...@anoncvs.fr.freebsd.org:/home/ncvs
mail/p5-Mail-SpamAssassin -o (when prompted, login using password 'anoncvs')
   4. Select '5' when prompted (double check this though, pick the version
   of SA you want to revert back to).
   5. Opt to revert back to that version in portdowngrade when prompted.
   6. portupgrade -f p5-Mail-SpamAssassin
   7. Start SA.

That should hopefully have the effect of reverting back to the old version
of SA and allow you to start the daemon without the error message

It seems to. It started at least;) And ! ! ! YES IT WORKS ! ! ! Thanks for the temporary work around and the detailed instructions that are perfect. It saved me a lot of time.

Hopefully this will be worked out in ports shortly. Maybe the perl upgrade will do it but I don't even want to think about it for a couple of days.

Have a great weekend,

All the best.
