My copy of Fedora Core 4 has "required_hits 5" in local.cf using the
distribution's RPM for Spamassassin. rpm -Va made no complaints about
the file. Just to be sure, I uninstalled it, checked that local.cf was
gone, and reinstalled it via yum. Standard defaults.
It looks to me like something other than Fedora Core was messing with
his config.
Naw, the basic SpamAssassin install for FC4 is, as I remarked, borked.
I could not make it work satisfactorily. Too many pieces were broken,
in the wrong places, or just plain missing. The know-it-alls who set
it up seem to have had to properly pee on it to make it their own. Rip
it out however you can with the rpm tool and install it, and 2.54 tonnes
of other required "stuff", via CPAN. It'll work a whole lot better.
Did anybody bother to file a bugzilla? I don't see anything like the
reported issue:
