Please, trim your posts!  I think you included the whole back-and-forth

Actually, it's line 28 in one of the SA Perl files, not the prefs or .cf
files.  The original error message is actually direct from Perl (more or
less), not SA.  I don't recall with 2.44, but recent versions are pretty
good about identifying bad entries in the various configuration files.

Binaya:

Try running "/usr/bin/spamassassin -D --lint 2>&1 |more" to see more
debugging output that should narrow down which configuration option is
actually causing the problem.

If that doesn't seem to give you any better idea what's wrong,
temporarily move /root/.spamassassin/user_prefs to an alternate
filename, and changing *.cf in /etc/mail/spamassassin *.something.else.
Run with --lint again, or -D --lint.

If that still fails, your SA install is likely broken, and the next step
should probably be a reinstall from source, package, or CPAN depending
on your preference.  I would suggest rebuilding Theo Van Dinter's RPM
packages (linked from the SpamAssassin website) given that you're on
RedHat 9.
