Cannot Scan ... SpamAssassin/PerMsgStatus.pm line 164.

[Richard Johnson <ri...@buzzhost.co.uk>]

Hello, this is the first time I've used a 'list' so if I have posted in
the wrong context or using the wrong protocol please forgive my blunder.
Can someone help me with Spamassassin?

Here is an overview of where I am at:

I'm running Ubuntu gutsy and have spamassassin installed. The original
plan was to use it with Evolution. However, when I selected it as a
plugin within Evolution it put every item of mail into the 'junk' folder
and there were no spamassassin headers. My thinking was, let me test
spamassassin is working at all before I get into MTA's, MUA's etc.

So, I ran this:
spamassassin --lint

and ended up with:

[9086] dbg: bayes: untie-ing
check: no loaded plugin implements 'check_main': cannot scan!
at /usr/share/perl5/Mail/SpamAssassin/PerMsgStatus.pm line 164.

I then ran:
spamassassin -D --lint

and got:

I've spent a number of days googling to resolve this, but I'm getting
nowhere. Any pointers would be very welcome.

I tried: 

find / -name *.pre

no results comes back. How weird is this?

After the 2nd line, some *.pre files should be listed. Like this:

[18926] dbg: ignore: using a test message to lint rules
[18926] dbg: config: using "/etc/mail/spamassassin" for site rules pre files
[18926] dbg: config: read file /etc/mail/spamassassin/init.pre

[18926] dbg: config: read file /etc/mail/spamassassin/v312.pre
[18926] dbg: config: read file /etc/mail/spamassassin/v320.pre

They are not at your system, so it seems that the *.pre files are not 
installed in the /etc/spamassassin directory. At my system (Fedora 7) 
they are installed to /etc/mail/spamassassin. Look for them and move 
them to /etc/spamassassin or change the site rule path 
(--siteconfigpath=/some/path) to wherever your *.pre files are.
