But, after fixing the typo and restarting spamd still get 'required=5'. And
after restarting spamd with the following:
/usr/local/bin/spamd -d --pidfile /var/run/spamd.pid -u spamd -C
/etc/mail/spamassassin

Remember, don't use -C for this!

I still get 'required=5'.

Aha. From your original post:

Mail.log
---------
Aug 28 17:09:44 xserve1 sm-mta[3868]: i7SL9cVl003868: Milter add:
header: X-Spam-Status: No, hits=0.0 required=5.0 tests=none autolearn=no
version=2.64
          ^^^^

I almost missed this, because it was hiding in a log line near the end
of your email. That, and I've been up since 5am thanks to a funeral 3
hours away this morning. Euagh.

Anyway, "required_score" is a version 3.00 directive. 2.6x still needs
"required_hits". Unless you have yet more troubles with your
configuration, I believe that's the final solution to your problem.

However, for future questions, might I make a few simple suggestions to
help us help you more efficiently:

1. Always make a relatively obvious point of the version number of SA
   you're using. You included your version, but I missed it initially.
2. Always check the documentation you have on *your* system for
   configuration options. You can almost always do this by running
   "perldoc Mail::SpamAssassin::Conf" at a prompt. I'm guessing you
   simply looked up the documentation online, where you stumbled across
   the SA 3.0 Conf documentation.
3. For configuration options that don't seem to work, run
   spamassassin --lint, preferably as the same user spamd runs as.
   Any errors or warnings reported will hopefully help you fix your
   own problem. At the very least, if you're stumped, posting your
   lint output will greatly help *us* figure out what's going on.
4. Not necessary in this case, but I can't stress it enough for many of
   the questions that get asked here: Use the -D (debug) switch in
   spamassassin when you're trying to track down something that isn't
   working that you've determined (with 3) isn't a simple configuration
   error.

Oh, and, of course, read the Wiki! I'm pretty sure all of this is
discussed there.

Hope this helps,
- Ryan
