Did you download any rulesets by copy-pasting them? It looks like a file full of
rules got word-wrapped somewhere.


For example:
> config: SpamAssassin failed to parse line, skipping: P_6_ALPH_L + __GAP_7_ALPH_L + __GAP_8_ALPH_L + __GAP_9_ALPH_L + __GAP_10_ALPH_L >= 5)

The above line looks a lot like it's half of a meta rule that got word-wrapped.

P_6_ALPH_L is not any part of any standard distro rule, so I don't know where it
came from but the file that contains it has been word-wrapped. SA can't deal
with arbitrary line-wraps added into a file. Its parser simply expects one line
per config option.
