Hi,
Removing -a from SPAMDOPTIONS in /etc/sysconfig/spamassassin file did the
trick.
Thank you very much for that.
Now that Spamassassin 3.0 started.
I started getting an error "spamassassin was timed out and was killed"
I was able to make work if I disable the Bayes Engine in
/etc/MailScanner/spam.assasssin.prefs.conf
by adding the line "use_bayes 0"
Is there another way around that so that I can still use the Bayes Engine?
Thanks again,
Al
