Scoreset switches are NORMAL for SA unless you've hard-coded dns available.
We've discussed this much before.

Yes... all those "failed to parse line" errors.. fix them. ASAP.

Delete option. SA no longer supports razor1, so this option was dropped.

Not a valid SA option, and AFAIK, it never has been.

Well, I don't know why it failed to parse, it should honor this in every version
of SA starting with 2.50. Are you *sure* your install is really SA 3.0.2 and not
some old version.

Double check. Look for duplicate installs.

The behavior I see from your errors would be consistent with SA 2.43 trying to
parse SA 3.0 configfiles and a mixture of outdated and buggy options.


That said 660 would be a very bad idea to use as a bayes_file_mode. This appears
to be Julian's default in spam.assassin.prefs.conf. I'll take that up with him
in a separate message.

You *MUST* include the "x" bit in bayes_file_mode. It's used in creating
directories and very bad things will happen if you set it to anything other than
700, 770 or 777.
