Dan,

This is the same problem you had before. Re-read my 8/3 post under "Re:
Spamassassin always scores 0."



---REQUOTING MYSELF ----

It looks like you've got the output of ls in a file somewhere that SA is parsing.

Read carefully. It's not complaining it can't parse the file
/etc/mail/spamassassin/local.cf, it's complaining that it found a line
containing that literal text in one of the configfiles!


Clearly no file SA parses should have "/etc/mail/spamassassin/local.cf" as a
text line in the file.

I'd venture to guess you've got garbage in /etc/mail/spamassassin/*.cf (SA will
read all .cf files in that directory)
