Thanks for your response Phil, In an attempt to resolve the issue, I'm now using MailScanner 4.64.3 and have started from a fresh config file, so my "Spamassassin Local State Dir" line also reads:
SpamAssassin Local State Dir = # /var/lib/spamassassin And, as I mentioned, a lint test shows that SA is successfully reading /var/lib/spamassassin/3.002003/updates_spamassassin_org.cf and all of the rules in the /var/lib/spamassassin/3.002003/updates_spamassassin_org/ folder. ----- Here are relavant lines from the lint test ------ [24215] dbg: config: read file /var/lib/spamassassin/3.001003/updates_spamassassin_org.cf [24215] dbg: plugin: fixed relative path: /var/lib/spamassassin/3.001003/updates_spamassassin_org/10_misc.cf [24215] dbg: config: using "/var/lib/spamassassin/3.001003/updates_spamassassin_org/10_misc.cf" for included file [24215] dbg: config: read file /var/lib/spamassassin/3.001003/updates_spamassassin_org/10_misc.cf [24215] dbg: plugin: fixed relative path: /var/lib/spamassassin/3.001003/updates_spamassassin_org/20_advance_fee.cf [24215] dbg: config: using "/var/lib/spamassassin/3.001003/updates_spamassassin_org/20_advance_fee.cf" for included file [24215] dbg: config: read file /var/lib/spamassassin/3.001003/updates_spamassassin_org/20_advance_fee.cf ... ----- Thanks again, Rob Randal, Phil wrote: > > Rob, that could be a MailScanner config problem.
