Spamassassin always scores 0.

[Milton R. Calnek]

Hi,

I need some help sorting this out.

So far today, I've had 437 emails scaned by ms/sa with a score of 0 and
23 with a score not 0 (-100 for being on a whitelist and 3.037 from AV
testing  were common values for non-0 scores).

I've had 135 connections blocked by spamhaus and 32 blocked by sorbs
(blocked by sendmail).

I'd expect more non-0 scores from spamassassin.

I have reviewed my mailscanner.conf, I've lost track of what's been
changed...
I have downloaded, rebuilt, re-installed current srpms of ms and sa.

So basic setup:
Server RH9.0, mode Gateway.
RPMS:

mailscanner-4.42.9-1
sendmail-8.12.8-9.90
spamassassin-tools-3.0.2-2.0.rh9.rf
spamassassin-3.0.2-2.0.rh9.rf
perl-5.8.0-88.3
MailScanner-perl-MIME-Base64-3.05-5
perl-MailTools-1.67-1
perl-HTML-Parser-3.45-1
perl-MIME-tools-5.417-1

I'm guessing that this started after an upgrade from perl-5.6.x to
5.8.0.  However, I have already rebuilt/re-installed ms/sa (and perl
modules) from srpms.


Any suggestions would be welcome.

TIA

My mailscanner.conf file is attached.
