Just passing this along so you don't have to kill 2 days trying to figure out why SA suddenly stopped doing anything - I foolishly allowed SuSE auto-update (YOU) to update my Spamassassin. It (in theory) installed version 3.01 (which was already installed and working perfectly). Shortly after, I started receiving TONS of spam. SA-Learn wasn't learning, etc. I reinstalled from CPAN - and everything seems to be working again. I don't know what they broke, but they broke it throughly.

You had your own version of spamassassin installed with our spamassassin SUSE RPMs still existing on the system. They got upgraded and broke your hand installed version. Your fault really. "rpm -e perl-spamassassin spamassassin" then install with CPAN. Ciao, Marcus

"rpm -e perl-spamassassin spamassassin" then install with CPAN. I might have the same problem, here is what I have:

Yes, their version should match. Just reinstall from the dvd/cd. -- Joe Morris New Tribes Mission Email Address: Joe_Morris@ntm.org Registered Linux user 231871
On SuSE 9.1, I had installed SA from download (3.0.0 it said). After seeing this thread, I removed (or so I thought) the downloaded one. I did a find . -name "spam*" and removed anything that had anything to do with spamassassin (including spamc & spamd). Yast still reported it installed untill I uses yast to install, then un-install. Once it reported that it wasn't installed and the command line couldn't find the bin, I re-installed. YOU saw the installation and patched. The command line still said version 3.0.0 and kmail still errored out because the scripts were for the 2.x version. I finally gave up and un-installed again with yast, marked taboo and downloaded and installed 3.0.1. Now I'm working again. Was very frustrating / weird.
