Okay I now *do* have this sorted :-)

The problem is that I had already installed spamassassin, ran all the tests
which it passed and then used spamassassin to log spam messages going
through the mailhub.

When I tried to run through the tests again - I did this because they failed
on the other mailhub due to a problem with perl it seems - the tests then
failed on this system! The problem is that the tests look for and use
/etc/mail/spamassassin/local.cf if it exists. Mine does and is configured
*NOT* to rewrite the subject line. The test 'spamd_port.t' uses as one of
its tests the pattern:

  Subject: *****SPAM***** There yours for FREE!

In my case the subject line in the test file does not change, and hence
there is no '*****SPAM*****' at the beginning of the subject. So it thinks
the test has failed.

I guess the question should be should 'make test' ignore any pre-installed
configuration file? Is this mentioned anywhere in the docs? If it is then I
missed it.


Regards,

John.
