SpamAssassin not catching spam.

[Denis Croombs]

Thanks for that, I have done that and the results are:-

[root at ns root]# /usr/bin/spamassassin -V
SpamAssassin version 2.55
[root at ns root]# /usr/local/bin/spamassassin -V
SpamAssassin version 2.55
[root at ns root]#

Ths may be because the system is one I have taken over for a friend of mine
& it was installe from RPM's & I have tried installing from source, I have
now in the last few minutes uninstalled the rpm, I have now the
"/usr/bin/spamassassin" has gone.

I have tried MailScanner in debug mode:-

debug: Score set 0 chosen.
debug: running in taint mode? no
debug: ignore: test message to precompile patterns and load modules
debug: using "/usr/local/share/spamassassin" for default rules dir
