use_auto_whitelist problems

[Cary Mathews <ck...@acu.edu>]

Looking at the documentation
(<http://useast.spamassassin.org/doc/Mail_SpamAssassin_Conf.html>), I
see that there is a use_auto_whitelist option:
==== quote ===
use_auto_whitelist ( 0 | 1 ) (default: 1)

Whether to use auto-whitelists. Auto-whitelists track the long-term
average score for each sender and then shift the score of new messages
toward that long-term average. This can increase or decrease the score
for messages, depending on the long-term behavior of the particular
correspondent.
==== end quote ===

however, I run spamassassin --lint on my configuration and I get the
following:
==== quote ====
Failed to parse line in SpamAssassin configuration, skipping:
use_auto_whitelist        1
====end qoute===

What's up with that?  Does spamassassin or the documentation need to
be updated?  I can specify -a or --auto-whitelist when starting up
spamd on the command line, but I'd rather specify it in the
configuration file.

Thanks in advance for any help offered.

PS.
I'm using SpamAssassin version 2.63 and perl v5.6.1 on solaris 8,
FWIW.

Yeah, the option in the docs is from 2.70 (still in development).
In 2.6x and before, it's -a from the commandline.
