I wanted to try to head off an increasing spam count I'd gotten since I upgraded my suse server to 11.4 ...
So I tried cpan to goto 3.3.2, but now...it says .. no rules!...I've tried putting rules in just about every dir I can think of... I had it running as as a daemon before - I thought it ran as spamd, but I could be wrong -- just that there have been user and group spamd on my since I first installed SA a few years ag0, but I'd installed some suse versions since then and they still worked, and I don't know how they ran. The latest incarnation didn't work as well, so went back to try the cpan version...*ouch*... where is it looking for it's rules, in /dev/null?!? I tried running it as root, as spamd, giving it a home dir, in /usr/share/SA, /var/lib/SA, /etc/mail/SA, (not to mention ~/.SA... )... "spamassassin --lint" comes back 'silently'...no errors... so if there are no errors, why does it claim it can't find any rules? Ya'd think SA --lint would notice that as being a problem...? :-(.... ideas?
