Your SA installation is broken.
Well, I'd guessed that.
WelcomeListSubject is a new module in v4, replacing WhiteListSubject.
This is 3.4, so it should be referencing the old whitelist module.
If you have anything referencing it in a 3.4.6 installation, you have
something very wrong. The easiest fix is likely to be to remove and
re-install SA.
I have reinstalled SA already with no change.

Whatever that file is, it is NOT part of the SA distribution. Consult
the author of 'w7_whitelist.cf' for support of whatever configuration it
includes.
I know. That's one of mine.
I have found that v310.pre was modified 11 Oct and now defines
welcomelist not whitelist.
In retrospect I now recall rtying to update white to welcome to bring it
into the official nomenclature (still a stupid change!) - and discovered
I'd wasted considerable time over it because 3.4 couln't cope, despite
continually getting operational warnings about white and welcome. Things
should NOT be altered until updated modules become available! Surely
every programmer knows that. :(
Anyway, thank you for putting me on the right track, Bill.
I am now considering an upgrade to Debian for no other reason than to
accomodate SA v4. :(
