I'm not able to reproduce this with the current spamassassin packages on an up-to-date sid system: lamneth:~$ sudo /etc/init.d/spamassassin restart Restarting SpamAssassin Mail Filter Daemon: spamd. lamneth:~$ If the message in question is coming from logger(1) from the bsdutils package, which it looks like it is, then I don't think it's spamassassin that's doing it, since spamassassin doesn't use logger. Do your /etc/init.d/spamassassin and /etc/default/spamassassin files differ from those included with the package?

If the message in question is coming from logger(1) from the bsdutils package, which it looks like it is, then I don't think it's spamassassin that's doing it, since spamassassin doesn't use logger. Could it have something to do with the fact that I'm using rsyslog instead of syslog? Do your /etc/init.d/spamassassin and /etc/default/spamassassin files differ from those included with the package? (Find them at [1] and [2]) The only difference is that I've got ENABLED=1 in /etc/default/spamassassin.
