Right, the get_tag is not applicable to Spamassasin 3.0.1, you need at least 3.0.3 - but both of these versions are long time unsupported now. When get_tag started to be used in amavisd-new-2.4.0 (2006-04), SpamAssassin at that time was at version 3.1.8 or therabout. There was no point in making amavisd backward-compatible with SpamAssassin 3.0.2 (2004-12) or earlier. > but they are in production running smoothly and currently we > are not looking for any version upgrade if it can be avoided. While amavisd-new 2.6.4 may possibly still do its job, the spam warfare is evolving constantly. You can't expect an eight years old spam filter to be able to cope with current 'state of the art'. It may run, but its usefulness will be next to none. Mark
