Interesting, I have the same problem on one box, no matter what I do it's
not working. The files that were discussed earlier on this klist are all
in the correct place (Funny enough I installed 2 boxes right after each
other using the same set of installation cd's and tarballs. One box is
working flawlessly, the other one isn't).

Would you mind sharing how to put init.pre and 25_uribl.c in
spam.assassin.prefs.conf file ?

Thanks!
