Thanks, Frederic. I hope that fix will resolve your issue as well. I
believe they are one and the same, i.e. a lint warning being treated as
an error on older sa-updates but it gave me the opportunity to
streamline the rule.

While we don't try and break older releases on purpose, distro policies
that backport rather than upgrade is not the responsibility of the
Apache SpamAssassin project.
Here's our release support information:
/A major release is supported for no less than 6 months after the
release of the next major release. /
/This means that as of November 30, 2014, all versions prior to
3.4.0 are considered unsupported./
So the version you are using is 6 years out of support. When 4.0.0
comes out as a major release, we will start looking at dropping support
for 3.4. I'm sure someone has produced an RPM for CentOS 6 for 3.4.4 by
now. You might consider asking about that and upgrading. There's a lot
of great features (and bug and security fixes) in 3.4.4. And 3.4.5 will
be coming soon too. A pre1 release is already out and I'm tweaking a
pre2 for the past week.
