Also, what exactly is "spamassassin --lint" supposed to do for me when I point it at my rules file? It always just returns to the shell prompt, never outputs anything.
the --lint option will show you any syntactic complaints SA has while trying to parse the rule file..
For example if you typo "whitlist_from [EMAIL PROTECTED]" instead of whitelist_from, you'll get:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] .spamassassin]$ spamassassin --lint
Failed to parse line in SpamAssassin configuration, skipping: whitlist_from [EMAIL PROTECTED]
