Hi Steffan,

No, Debian, Sarge I think.

The file /etc/spamassassin/local.cf has similar but different settings
to the file /etc/mail/sa-mimedefang.cf. Reading notes in the
mimedefang.pl file, it seems that spamassassin is heavily controlled by
MD (headers cannot be replaced by SA for example). So it seems to me
that the sa-mimedefang file overrides the local.cf one. It makes sense
to me to leave both files in case I want to use SA with another app.

I have tried ...

su defang -c 'spamassassin --lint -D -C /etc/spamassassin/local.cf -x'

and

su defang -c 'spamassassin --lint -D -C /etc/mail/sa-mimdefang.cf -x'

with and without the "-D" and neither give me any output on screen ???
Do I need to view a log somewhere?

I tried this and no change.
