Problem 1:
The mail log has lots of entries like this:
Dec 15 00:42:53 mailman spamd[2224]: Cannot write to /nonexistent/.spamassassin/user_ prefs: No such file or directory
There's no such user as "nonexistent" on this system.
Why is this occurring and how can I correct it?
Problem 2:
I've pasted the complete output from "sa-learn -d --sync" below, but I'm interested in particular in four parse errors:
debug: config: SpamAssassin failed to parse line, skipping: rewrite_subject 1
debug: config: SpamAssassin failed to parse line, skipping: subject_tag $ *****SPAM*****
debug: config: SpamAssassin failed to parse line, skipping: use_terse_report 0
debug: config: SpamAssassin failed to parse line, skipping: auto_learn $ 1
Again, why are these failing to be parsed, and how can I correct the issue?
Many thanks.
Regards, David Newman
