I just recently installed a system with MD 2.45 and SA 3.0000 and while
doing some testing to see if the network tests were running, I
determined that the -C option to spamassassin does not work as expected.
the man pages are a little hazey about the description, but when i ran
(as defang user)
spamassassin -D -C /etc/mail/sa-mimedefang.cf
it didn't pick up *ANY* of the default rules located in
/usr/share/spamassassin. instead it reported the working rule DIRECTORY
was /etc/mail/sa-mimedefang.cf
I haven't had the time (since) to check out bugzilla for SA and see if
this has already been reported, so i haven't filed a bug report yet.
interestingly enough, spamassassin -D (as defang user) picks up my
sa-mimedefang.cf (mostly because in the upgrade from 2.39 to 2.45 I left
sa-mimedefang.cf in /etc/mail/spamassassin and just made
/etc/mail/sa-mimedefang.cf a symlink to it) and it picks up the
/usr/share/spamassassin/*.cf files so everything is hunky-dorey.
i tinkered with it so much, i forget what I did to make it start working
the way i expected it to. I did make sure that all my module
requirements were up to date. I also ran spamassassin --lint to make
sure I fixed any problems in my .cf files that creeped in from the
previous version of SA.
anyways, hope this is useful information.
