A while back Shubes posted some instructions for installing Jake's
SpamAssassin v3.3.2 testing package:
http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg32685.html
I installed it on a test toaster that previously had v3.2.5 on it and
all seems to be well, except I've noticed some unusual output when
testing manually, as seen in this sample: http://pastebin.com/jUH1YXvq
This is the tail-end of running: spamassassin -D -t < message.txt 2>&1
OS is CentOS v5.8 32-bit, Perl v5.8.8.
Anyone see behavior like this? Should I be worried?
I want to roll the newer SpamAssassin to my production boxes due to more
accurate newer rule sets, but I don't want to shoot myself in the foot.
My test box is very low volume.
I posted to the SpamAssassin users list in May about this but never got
a useful response.
Thanks.

I've absolutely no experience with 3.3.2 yet, so take this with a
grain of salt.
First, I would test with the same program and flags that QMT uses, if
at all possible. QMT runs spamd, not spamassassin:
root 2031 2030 0 May20 ? 00:01:12 /usr/bin/perl -T -w
/usr/bin/spamd -x -u vpopmail -s stderr
I think it would be good to run your test messages through the whole
QMT set of programs, including simscan (especially).
Is your spamd log showing anything peculiar?
What specifically about your pastebin concerns you? I don't see
anything that's particularly alarming.
Thanks for your reply, Eric.
I definitely run it as spamd when it's running with the rest of QMT.
But when I want to test the config or new rules, I run spamassassin
manually as shown above. Actually, I run it in the context of the
vpopmail user. I admin my boxes with a non-privileged user and sudo, so
the command looks like this:
$ sudo -u vpopmail -H spamassassin -D -t < message.txt 2>&1 | less
-D enables debug mode for log output
-t puts the report at the end of the debug run, similar to 'report_safe
1' in local.cf
The line in the pastebin that starts with '-0.0 IPRO_URICOUNTR' has a
couple of debug lines in the middle of it. It should read:
-0.0 IPRO_URICOUNTRY_US Contains links to a site hosted in the USA
Never saw behavior like this with v3.2.5. Really, this is the only
thing that's making me nervous.
Thanks.
