Is there a particular reason why you're using the --siteconfigpath?

The reason I ask is nearly everyone I've seen use this option, mis-uses it. The only time you should want to use this option is if you need to have multiple different site configurations. Otherwise you're just over-specifying things that SA will in general do a better job of figuring out on its own.

In particular this option should NOT point to a directory that contains 50_scores.cf. That's the "default rules" directory, not the "site config directory".

By default, the site config is either /etc/mail/spamassassin or /etc/spamassassin (SA will search this and other similar options, and pick the first one it finds). It should contain your *.pre files, your local.cf (if you have one), and .cf files for any add-on rulesets you choose to manually add. Received on Thu Oct 18 01:55:08 2007
