Cameron,
The spamassassin program is waiting for input. If you are checking rules add '--lint' to your command line. Alternately you might want to direct some input into it.
I found this out once when I missed typing '--lint' while I was testing my installation.
HTH, Kevin

Hi I'm curious about what the output from spamassassin --local --debug looks like on somebody else's system. I'm getting what seems to me odd behaviour. The command is hanging on my machine (althouth SpamAssassin is working fine)
example:
[Machine:~] user% spamassassin --local --debug
debug: SpamAssassin version 3.0.1
debug: Score set 0 chosen.
debug: running in taint mode? yes
debug: Running in taint mode, removing unsafe env vars, and resetting PATH
debug: PATH included '/bin', keeping.
debug: PATH included '/sbin', keeping.
debug: PATH included '/usr/bin', keeping.
debug: PATH included '/usr/sbin', keeping.
debug: Final PATH set to: /bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin
^C
[Machine:~] user%
As you can see I don't get a prompt back unless I abort the command. An example of more normal output and a hit about what might be wrong
would be great.
