--Lint parse error with always_add_headers

[Geoff Manning <gm...@zoom.com>]

When I run spamassassin --lint I receive a parse error as shown below....how
do I fix it? It looks like it is the right syntax.


# spamassassin --lint
config: SpamAssassin failed to parse line, skipping: always_add_headers 1
lint: 1 issues detected.  please rerun with debug enabled for more
information.


Here is my local.cf file:

I don't find any reference to always_add_headers in
http://spamassassin.apache.org/full/3.0.x/dist/doc/Mail_SpamAssassin_Conf.html

What version of SA are you running?  Check the config docs for that
version, and use the directive which does what you want in that
version.

I'm guessing you've got an old parameter copied from something which
was phased out with/before version 3.0 and replaced by something else.

delete it.. always_add_headers is now unsupported with SA 3.0.0 because
it's irrelevant.

Really, it's been deprecated since SA 2.60 with the introduction of the
add_header command. Since you can specify an add_header command to be
spam, ham or all, any action by "always_add_headers" would be contradictory.

No part of the SA 2.6x code actually used this parameter, except Conf.pm.
