Hmm, interesting.. did debian wind up putting those files there, or did that happen locally?


I've been seeing a LOT of reports recently of problems caused by the standard rules being in /etc/spamassassin or /etc/mail/spamassassin, something that should not happen. I'm wondering if it's old broken distro packages, or user error...

user error might be slightly preventable by putting warnings in the file comments.

"Don't copy these to your site rules dir in /etc/, they belong where SA's installer put them ($PREFIX/share/spamassassin)"

Unfortunately, I suspect broken packages. It's way too common to be simple user error. If it is a distro breakage that has since been fixed, we can at least create a FAQ about it.
