spamd failded to start after upgrade to version 3.0.4

After upgrading SpamAssassin from version 2.5x to 3.0.4 I can't start
spamassassin.  Error
[root@mail init.d]# ./spamassassin start
Starting spamd: The -a option has been removed.  Please look at the
use_auto_whitelist config option instead.
                                                           [FAILED]

I verify that the -a option is removed from /etc/init.d/spamassassin and
added the "use_auto_whitelist config option 1" in the
/etc/mail/spamassassin/local.cf.  However the problem persists.


Please help.

There are two places where spamd options may be specified.  One is in
/etc/init.d/spamassassin and the other is in
/etc/sysconfig/spamassassin.  Check there.
