rules are not used anymore
Dear all,
I'm using SA 3.1.7 on a Debian Etch system. My config is in
/etc/spamassassin, the default rules that came with SA are in
/usr/share/spamassassin/, and the rules I get via sa-update-channels are
in /var/lib/spamassassin/3.001007. It all worked fine.
For a couple of days now the rules in /var/lib/spamassassin/3.001007
aren't used anymore. When doing a "sa-update -D" or "spamassassin --lint
-D" I can see these rules are referenced but they are simply not used
when mail checks are made.
Could anyone give me a clue how I could activate them again?
Thanks and regards,
David

Much as I hate to admit it, I don't really have a clue what may be
awry. If it worked OK initially the natural assumption is that
something changed in the interim, permissions perhaps? If SA is
reading rules ok from the main directory I don't see why it should
ignore the 3.00* dir unless it doesn't know about it or can't access
it.
Hopefully one of the more knowledgeable list members can offer some
insight.
Kind regards
Nigel

Are any of the rules in your primary spamassassin directory firing
(/etc/spamassassin)?
Are you getting any error messages at all? (I'm shooting in the dark
here so please excuse stupid questions).

When I look in my syslog I can see which rules "hit" a mail. A couple of
days before *no* rules have been used anymore.
I then tried to include the rules by putting:
include /usr/share/spamassassin/10_misc.cf
etc...
in my local.cf. For /usr/share/spamassassin this works, for
/var/lib/spamassassin/3.001007 it does not.
There is a Symlink /etc/mail/spamassassin --> /etc/spamassassin by Debian.
Regards,
David

How have you established the rules in 3.001 etc. are not being used?
Can I check SA is in /etc/spamassassin or /etc/mail/spamassassin? is
that a Debian thing?
