    The problem is that the PATH contains writable path elements. That
    poses a problem and the taint checking finds that and rightly refuses
    to run.

    You are almost certainly trying to start it by hand. Instead use the
    startup script provided for it.

      /etc/init.d/spamassassin start

    That sets the PATH to a safe setting and does other setup.
