I'm using 3.1.3 from Debian. After setting LOCAL_STATE_DIR in amavisd the rules in /var/lib/spamassassin are used as noted before. I downgraded to 3.0.3 and it used the standard rules in /usr/share/spamassassin so at least on the surface it appears the code change of LOCAL_STATE_DIR => '/var/lib' will not affect older versions of SpamAssassin. I'm going to try it on my production box. Gary V ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
