Problem with "Compile SpamAssassin Once" (Addendum)

[Julian Field]

What version of Perl are you using? It has to be a Perl/SpamAssassin
problem. Try upgrading to Perl 5.6.1 then re-install SpamAssassin and see
if that cures it.

The other alternative is that it is failing to read one of your "rule
scores" files. If you uninstall SpamAssassin, then go round and find the
spamassassin.cf files and user_prefs files and stuff like that, to ensure
that you have *completely* removed it, then re-install SpamAssassin. Just
upgrading SpamAssassin probably won't touch your SA config files.

I have just done a little search of my SA installation and the 25FREEMEGS
text is mentioned in spamassassin.cf (in /usr/lib/perl5/site-perl/5.6.1).
Ensure you delete this file before re-installing SA.
