Check which files have the string "Rage limiting" in them.

[EMAIL PROTECTED] grep -l "Rate limiting" /usr/share/spamassassin/*

[EMAIL PROTECTED] grep -l "Rate limiting" /usr/share/spamassassin/RulesDuJour/*

Delete those files. In fact you can delete everything in 
/usr/share/spamassassin/RulesDuJour/ and it should rebuild itself.


Finally, you should not have RDJ pointing to /usr/share/spamassassin. 
The proper place for local configuration (local.cf) and local rulesets 
(rules_du_jour managed rulesets) is /etc/spamassassin or 
/etc/mail/spamassassin (or similar... based on OS conventions)

Chris,

Many thanks.  I did as you suggested, and all now seems to work.
