Fixing Broken Rules
When I run spamassassin --lint I see a number of rule-related warnings.
However, when I look in /etc/mail/spamassassin/rules/ I can't find the
specific text referenced.
Here's the pertinent lint output:
[22906] warn: config: SpamAssassin failed to parse line,
"DNS_FROM_AHBL_RHSBL .4" is not valid for "score", skipping: score
DNS_FROM_AHBL_RHSBL .4
[22906] warn: config: SpamAssassin failed to parse line, "DNS_FROM_RFC_ABUSE
.4" is not valid for "score", skipping: score DNS_FROM_RFC_ABUSE .4
[22906] warn: config: SpamAssassin failed to parse line,
"DNS_FROM_RFC_BOGUSMX .4" is not valid for "score", skipping: score
DNS_FROM_RFC_BOGUSMX .4
[22906] warn: config: SpamAssassin failed to parse line, "DNS_FROM_RFC_DSN
.4" is not valid for "score", skipping: score DNS_FROM_RFC_DSN .4
[22906] warn: config: SpamAssassin failed to parse line, "DNS_FROM_RFC_POST
.4" is not valid for "score", skipping: score DNS_FROM_RFC_POST .4
[22906] warn: config: SpamAssassin failed to parse line, "DNS_FROM_RFC_WHOIS
.4" is not valid for "score", skipping: score DNS_FROM_RFC_WHOIS .4
When I grep for the entire string -- including the score -- I get no hits.
The DNS rules are in 20_dnsbl_tests.cf.

Unless you've installed them in non-standard places, the rules should be
in:
/etc/mail/spamassassin

Adam,
I _thought_ that I had, but I'm trying to simultaneously fix problems with
three applications, so I missed doing this.

You win! But, in my defense, I did not put those there. Regardless, I put
a leading 0 on each .4 and the problem has been fixed.
Now, ... to get the last glitches from FuzzyOCR and I'll be done with this
problem set.
Many thanks,
Rich

It helps identify where the problem isn't.
Did you do a grep for 'DNS_FROM_AHBL_RHSBL' (for example)
in /etc/mail/spamassassin?
I'm betting you have a 'score DNS_FROM_AHBL_RHSBL .4' in local.cf or
some other cf file in that directory.

I was looking in the wrong file, it should be 50_scores.cf. And, in that
file there are:
score DNS_FROM_AHBL_RHSBL 0 0.306 0 0.231
score DNS_FROM_RFC_ABUSE 0 0.479 0 0.200
score DNS_FROM_RFC_BOGUSMX 0 2.034 0 1.945
score DNS_FROM_RFC_DSN 0 2.872 0 2.597
score DNS_FROM_RFC_POST 0 1.440 0 1.708
score DNS_FROM_RFC_WHOIS 0 0.879 0 1.447
score DNS_FROM_SECURITYSAGE 0 2.001 0 1.513
So there are no '.4' scores in that set.
Does this help identify the problem?
Thanks,
Rich

I upgraded SpamAssassin-3.1.0 to -3.1.7 using CPAN. That left four files
in /etc/mail/spamassassin/, none of which was an executable. Then I went to
the site's download page and grabbed the tarball. Built and installed from
that. The tarball put the rules/ subdirectory there. In
/usr/share/spamassassin I have 25_dkim.cf, 60_whitelist_dk.cf,
60_whitelist_dkim.cf, and sa-update-pubkey.txt.
If directories and files are mis-located, point me to a list of the
correct locations and I'll move them around.
Thanks,
Rich

If you run in debug mode, you'll see all the files that SA is using for
configs. At least one of those files will have the invalid config lines. My
guess is something in the site-wide config directory (/etc/mail/spamassassin).
BTW, you previously mentioned /etc/mail/spamassassin/rules/ ... What is this
directory? It's not standard.

Theo,
When I look for '.4' in the rules files I cannot find it. Otherwise I
would have changed it.

".4" isn't a valid number and so can't be parsed. Try "0.4".
