I have a similar problem with whitelist_from entries in local.cf. --lint shows no issues. What's happening with me is that whitelist_from works for the first few hits, then it stops working entirely. the line in local.cf says "whitelist_from [EMAIL PROTECTED]"
Running spamd in debug mode, I caught one that worked, and one that didn't. It doesn't really explain why, but below is the area of the log where the change in the score is or isn't taking place. Is it possible for SQL user_prefs to override local.cf for some reason? I use local.cf for my "real" config, and SQL user_prefs only for custom user thresholds such as <someuser>,required_hits,100,<someprefid> The one that worked where 'score so far' changes from 0 to -100: Oct 1 11:56:56 blacksheep spamd[23696]: debug: all '*From' addrs: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Oct 1 11:56:56 blacksheep spamd[23696]: debug: Running tests for priority: 0 Oct 1 11:56:56 blacksheep spamd[23696]: debug: running header regexp tests; score so far=0 Oct 1 11:56:56 blacksheep spamd[23696]: debug: SPF: message was delivered entirely via trusted relays, not required Oct 1 11:56:56 blacksheep spamd[23696]: debug: all '*To' addrs: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Oct 1 11:56:56 blacksheep spamd[23696]: debug: SPF: message was delivered entirely via trusted relays, not required Oct 1 11:56:56 blacksheep spamd[23696]: debug: running body-text per-line regexp tests; score so far=-100 The one that didn't work where 'score so far' remains 0: Oct 1 11:58:15 blacksheep spamd[23701]: debug: all '*From' addrs: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Oct 1 11:58:15 blacksheep spamd[23701]: debug: Running tests for priority: 0 Oct 1 11:58:15 blacksheep spamd[23701]: debug: running header regexp tests; score so far=0 Oct 1 11:58:15 blacksheep spamd[23701]: debug: SPF: message was delivered entirely via trusted relays, not required Oct 1 11:58:15 blacksheep spamd[23701]: debug: all '*To' addrs: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Oct 1 11:58:15 blacksheep spamd[23701]: debug: SPF: message was delivered entirely via trusted relays, not required Oct 1 11:58:15 blacksheep spamd[23701]: debug: running body-text per-line regexp tests; score so far=0 So, it would seem that the header regxp tests aren't consistently working, and it's only after spamd has processed a few messages. Any ideas?

If SA's parser gets sufficiently confused it can dump a whole config file. 2) You sure you have the right local.cf? check spamassassin --lint -D to see what site_config path SA is using.
