No, they should be set in a cf file.  You could open a bug in bugzilla
to request an enhancement to have this debug output avoided.  It's
really only cosmetic.

Exactly.  That is why I said it does seem high (in this case, assuming the 
default threshold of 5); however, 10 may not be bad if you (proverbially 
speaking) have your threshold set to something egregiously high or really 
want to reject all email with CAPITAL letters :-)

Threshold? 

Huh?

You are joking right?

The default SA scoring spam tagging threshold is half that...

Are trusted_networks generally set in any of the .pre files?  If not, then 
why bother checking (and complaining about the absence of) trusted_networks 
if local.cf is not queried by sa-update's lint?

Yes.  sa-update is specifically designed not to be concerned with your
local rules.  sa-update only cares if the *update* is valid (passes a
lint test).  It ignores your local cf files (since it doesn't care about
them) but uses the pre files so that it can load any plugins that may be
used by the *update* rulesets.

If you want to lint your local rules (in your local cf files) use
"spamassassin --lint" which will all [1] rules that are used by SA on
your system.  The sa-update lint is not meant to be (nor can I see a
reason why you'd want it to be) used to lint test your local rules.

[1] All system wide rules and the current user's per-user rules.

Should? What good is that lint anyway if it can't be used to test local rules?

Why would you run the mails through SpamAssassin if you trust everything
from that host? A whitelist entry in the MTA would avoid wasting
resources on those sure-to-be-good messages.

Yes, this can be a significant resource saving (for my users, the single
top sender is between 1 [on weekends] and 10% [on weekdays] of overall
traffic).

internal/trusted is not intended to be a whitelist of some sorts, it is
intended as hints to construct the trust path, eg to correctly apply RBL
checks.

You could also bypass SA for all dnswl.org-listed "hi"
trust entries

This is expected and intentional.  Your local cf files are not used to
lint the rulesets.  Your pre files, however, are.

Yes, this is also the expected and intentional behaviour.  Everything is
working as it should.

Not in FreeBSD.  And again, I know the local.cf *is* being interpreted 
because its other contents affect SA.

I could be very wrong here, it wouldn't be the 1st time; but isn't the

This is system dependent. Under *BSD, packages are not mixed with the 
base system.



Per user may work differently, I'm not sure, my version of per user is
handled by the MTA and a MySQL Database for users (Windows based mail
server --> CentOS based SA)

Might that be why sa-update is showing the error?

  
--lint does not complain, and I know that local.cf is being otherwise 
interpreted by SA because custom rules contained therein are scoring.
