local.cf ignored?

[mb...@unibg.it]

Hi,
I have a mail server with qmail, qmailscanner, fetchmail, spamassassin,
clamav installed . My linux distribution is debian sarge.
When spamassasin check a mail  I notice  in the header of the mail  the
following:
X-Spam-Status: Yes, hits=10.2 required=4.0
The problem is the content of file /etc/mail/spamassassin/local.cf is:
rewrite_header Subject *****SPAM*****
required_hits 5
#rewrite_subject 1
report_header 1
report_safe 1
skip_rbl_checks 0
You can notice that the line required_hits 5 is different from mail
checked (required=4.0).
 It seems that the file local.cf is ignored by spamassassin. How can
know  which is the file spamassasin  using when check mails?
I have already tried to force the configuration file with "spamd -C
/etc/mail/spamassassin/local.cf" but nothing change.
Someone have any ideas?

Overridden in ~/.spamassassin/user_prefs?

You are overriding the configuration directory when you start spamd or
run spamassassin?

This is not a SA question.  Qmail-Scanner does its own markup and has 
its own configuration for some options.  Check qmail-scanner-queue.pl 
and set the options there accordingly.

As jim said, you need to look at your qmail-scanner settings..

That said, if you're running a recent version of SA, that local.cf has some 
invalid options. report_header has been obsolete since report_safe was 
added, in SA 2.50.
