Search your drive for stray copies of local.cf. See if you ended up with an etc/spamassassin directory or have a local.cf in your home directory.

You appear to be running SA 3.04 but using a config file with older and obsolete directives. This is likely the root of all of your problems. For instance, instead of "auto_learn 1", the line should be "bayes_auto_learn 1", which is the directive that allows SA to auto train the Bayesian database.

Take a look at the documentation on configuring SA (http:// spamassassin.apache.org/full/3.0.x/dist/doc/ Mail_SpamAssassin_Conf.html) and spend some time making sure that your local.cf file uses the proper syntax. This should hopefully solve your problems.

This makes sense, as I installed SA3 on top of a previous version. However, I've edited /etc/mail/spamassassin/local.cf to contain the following (minus comments):

   whitelist_from [EMAIL PROTECTED]
   required_score 5
   rewrite_header subject [***SPAM***]
   use_bayes               1
   bayes_auto_learn        1
   use_razor2              1
   use_dcc                 1
   use_pyzor               1
   dns_available yes

and restarted the service, yet spamassassin --lint -D returns identical results as before! Could there be another local.cf file somewhere?!
