Help needed with rewrite_header and Spamassassin 3.0.2 on Linux

["Tom Q. Citizen" <to...@bay-online-media.com>]

Hi!  Ok, I'm running Spamassassin 3.0.2 on a RedHat 9 based Linux box w/ 
perl 5.8.2 (multi-threaded), netqmail 1.05, and vpopmail 5.4.9.  I've 
got qmail-scanner 1.25 installed and clamav .083.  All seems to be 
working well except for rewrite_header doesn't seem to be working.

Here is my /etc/mail/spamassassin/local.cf file:

----------START--------------

# This is the right place to customize your installation of SpamAssassin.
#
# See 'perldoc Mail::SpamAssassin::Conf' for details of what can be
# tweaked.
#
###########################################################################
#
rewrite_header Subject  *** SPAM(_SCORE_) ***:
required_score  5.00
# report_safe 1
# trusted_networks 212.17.35.
lock_method flock

-----------END----------------

I do NOT have any other Spamassassin configuration files in users' home 
directories or anything like that.  I do NOT have Razor or Pyzor 
installed.  I installed Spamassassin via CPAN and the installation went 
flawlessly.

I've read through the mailing list and various other docs which talk 
about using rewrite_header Subject instead of rewrite_subject.  
Spamassassin IS detecting spam and setting the mail headers correctly 
but just not the subject line.  Here is a sample of spam I'm getting:

Jokes of the day


------------------------END------------------------

I've changed the recipient's e-mail address "to protect the innocent".  
:)   I have NO clue as to why the subject isn't being updated with my 
spam indicator and I have NO clue where to start troubleshooting this.  
I've seen messages posted to the list recently that DO have the subject 
rewritten and Spamassassin 3.0.1 was being used so I believe that is 
does work (or at least used to in a Spamassassin 3.0.x release). 

Any ideas on why I'm having this problem?  What is the best way to 
troubleshoot this?

Thanks in advance for your time and assisstance.

Peace...

Tom
