What happens when you run "spamassassin -W < testmsg" at the command-line? > > - - - - - ----- The following addresses had permanent fatal errors > - ----- "| /usr/bin/spamassassin -W" > (reason: internal software error) > (expanded from: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]) > > ----- Transcript of session follows ----- > Cannot get host name of local machine at > /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.005/Mail/SpamAssassin/DBBasedAddrList > .pm line 34 554 5.3.0 Internal error Sounds like something is wrong with your OS configuration. What happens when you run this: perl -MSys::Hostname -e "print hostname();" or this: python -c "import socket; print socket.gethostname()" or this (requires a relatively recent Python -- 2.0 or later, maybe?): python -c "import socket; print socket.getfqdn()" ? Also, you haven't said which version of which OS you're using.
