It could very well be something perl-version related. My FC machine is 5.8.5, OSX is 5.8.6. I can reproduce it on 5.8.3. > So we're back to the discussion had in January/February about the best > way to avoid --lint errors when SARE rules are removed from *.cf > files, but people have score lines for those rules.

First, the "meta TEST 0" construct ought to work, and there's an easy enough change to make it work. I opened a ticket about it: http://issues.apache.org/SpamAssassin/show_bug.cgi?id=4698 Second, what's the appropriate way to deprecate rules? I think this will require more thought and discussion. -- Randomly Generated Tagline: "Perl is designed to make the easy jobs easy and the hard jobs possible." - Larry Wall
