large increase in spam after upgrading SA

2006-11-12 Thread Hoover Chan
I just upgraded SA from 3.1.0 to the current 3.1.7 via CPAN and am finding 
that a huge increase in the amount of spam that's coming in. On the order 
of almost 10 times the number that leaked into my inbox.


Has anyone else run into this behavior? If so, what can I do? 
Configurations are unchanged as far as I can tell.


Thanks in advance.

I had the same problem, and found out after a while that I had 
installed SA from RPM initially, then updated via CPAN.


That resulted in TWO different versions of perl-SpamAssassin, one in 
/usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl and the other in /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl.


The one that was read in didn't correspond to the rest of SA and its 
version, and also didn't have valid rules in /var/lib/spamassassin.


If this is the case for you, delete the old perl module version from 
your system.

I've run CPAN with the wrong umask, which resulted in the .cf files being
installed readable only by root.  So as root, it installed fine and tested
fine... but when it ran for real it only picked up my local.cf rules.
