Hmm.. if --lint doesn't work, what version of SA are you using? Sounds like something from the 2.2x or 2.3x, but obviously older than 2.40...

If you're using an ancient version you'll have to feed it an email with -D turned on.. it's got no "lint only" mode.

spamassassin -tD <sample-nonspam.txt

I'd also advise updating to a recent version, such as 2.43, or, when it's released, 2.50.. The spam-rules and scoring change over time to match "current trends" in spam and nonspam, and old versions of SA aren't going to fare as well against current trends in emails.

Thanks... BTW, when I ran this --lint, it returns 'unknow option: -'...
the reason my user_prefs not working was that I only have the user_prefs.template file, not user_prefs.

Most likely the cause of your user_prefs not being parsed is a typo in the
file. When SA runs normally, it has no place to complain about invalid
input, so it just skips large chunks of the rules.You must turn on debug
output for it to be able to complain about such things.
