[Bug 4240] New: Configuration errors are too silent

http://bugzilla.spamassassin.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4240

           Summary: Configuration errors are too silent
           Product: Spamassassin
           Version: SVN Trunk (Latest Devel Version)
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: other
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P5
         Component: Libraries
        AssignedTo: dev@spamassassin.apache.org
        ReportedBy: quinlan@pathname.com


Using dbg("config: ...) for configuration errors is wrong.  These are
errors and should be output using warn().

Why do we only warn() if lint is on?

'Why do we only warn() if lint is on?'

it's a little cargo-cultish -- but essentially it's done this way since at one
stage procmail (or perhaps it was sendmail and .forward files) could either (a)
barf or (b) send replies to the sender if a mail-delivery process produced
output on stderr.  as a result of that I decided we should be as silent as
possible on stderr by default.

Argh!  I hate to add a bug to 3.1.0, but this is a bug, definitely.

How to reproduce: set bayes_path to a directory, you'll only see the error
with --debug=config
