I used to have own rules in /etc/mail/spamassassin directory.  But removed
them thinking that duplicates may come from them.

I now have only default files in /etc/mail/spamassassin

init.pre
local.cf
spamassassin-default.rc
spamassassin-helper.sh
spamassassin-spamc.rc
v310.pre
v312.pre
v320.pre

I still have duplicates.  Looking just at one of them
    [15021] dbg: rules: __MO_OL_58CB5 merged duplicates: __MO_OL_B4B40

I found the following in
/var/lib/spamassassin/3.002001/updates_spamassassin_org/72_active.cf
----------------------------------------
meta XMAILER_MIMEOLE_OL_58CB5  (__XM_OL_58CB5 && __MO_OL_58CB5)
header __MO_OL_58CB5  X-MimeOLE =~ /Produced\ By\ Microsoft\ MimeOLE\
V5\.50\.4133\.2400/

and

meta XMAILER_MIMEOLE_OL_B4B40  (__XM_OL_B4B40 && __MO_OL_B4B40)
header __MO_OL_B4B40  X-MimeOLE =~ /Produced\ By\ Microsoft\ MimeOLE\
V5\.50\.4133\.2400/

----------------------------------------


Is it normal?

Thank you.

SA will get its main rules from either /var/lib/... (if it exists), or
/usr/local/...  The /etc/mail/spamassassin directory is for user rules.
It will be read after the main rules directories.  So if you are
duplicating any of the built-in rules in /etc/mail/spamassassin, that
would explain these errors.
