I'm begging for mercy here. I KNOW this must be a newbie type question, and I
have been searching for an
answer for WEEKS, but I haven't been able to figure it out. Please, somebody,
take pity on a poor SA
newbie and tell me what the **** is going on before I go postal! (Meaning no
offense if you're a postal
employee.)
This is a brand new x86 system, with a fresh load of RH9, the latest SA, PERL,
and the latest everything
(as of about a month ago). How do I know it's the latest? Because I sat here
and downloaded and
installed the latest! I get no error messages when I start spamassassin or
spamd, and it appears to
process correctly. HOWEVER: EVERYTHING is marked as spam, regardless of its
score. That includes the
sample-nonspam.txt file, which is correctly scored at 0.0/5.0, but is still
marked as spam, as below:

This was generated using a pretty standard test command (as root):
spamassassin -t < sample-nonspam.txt > nonspam.out
Can some really nice person (or even some mean person, I don't really care)
tell me WHY sample-nonspam.txt
is getting marked as spam? please? pretty please?
Thanks in advance!
