Hi,
I'm running SA 3.0.2 with Exim 4.5. spamd runs as root.

I think I've set my configuration to have a system-wide auto-whitelisting.
However, I've noticed that even though the file "auto-whitelist"
always remains 12,288 bytes long and unchanged and naturally, scores
aren't affected.
Everytime I restart spamd, the file gets a new timestamp though.
I'd appreciate any advice.
My auto-whitelist related comamnds in the local.cf file are:
auto_whitelist_path /var/spool/spamassassin/auto-whitelist
auto_whitelist_file_mode 0666
change that mode from 0666 to 0777
----------------
auto_whitelist_file_mode(default: 0700)
The file mode bits used for the automatic-whitelist directory or file.
Make sure you specify this using the 'x' mode bits set, as it may also be
used to create directories. However, if a file is created, the resulting
file will not have any execute bits set (the umask is set to 111).
-----------------
What are the permissions on the existing directory and file?

This isn't terribly helpful.
Why isn't it? --lint does run a message, and you can see that it hasn't
learned it before...
Please try running with a real email, using the syntax:
spamassassin -t -D < testemail
Drop that -t... in SA 3.0.0 and higher -t disables the AWL and bayes
autolearner.
