What good is that lint anyway if it can't be used to test local rules?
Yes. sa-update is specifically designed not to be concerned with your local rules. sa-update only cares if the *update* is valid (passes a lint test). It ignores your local cf files (since it doesn't care about them) but uses the pre files so that it can load any plugins that may be used by the *update* rulesets. If you want to lint your local rules (in your local cf files) use "spamassassin --lint" which will all [1] rules that are used by SA on your system. The sa-update lint is not meant to be (nor can I see a reason why you'd want it to be) used to lint test your local rules. [1] All system wide rules and the current user's per-user rules. Daryl
