I'd start by verifying SA with it's command-line tools:

spamassassin --lint
(should run, and exit quietly)

Also try feeding it the sample spam message that comes with SA's source:

spamassassin < sample-spam.txt

The sample spam should trigger GTUBE and get a really high score.

Hmm, distro-ported version.. You might want to check to make sure the rulefiles
wound up being installed correctly. Find out your default rules dir by running:

spamassassin --lint -D

And check to make sure the SA rulefiles are there. Also check the site rules dir
for init.pre, and it should NOT contain any of the default rules (20_*.cf,
50_scores.cf, etc should be in default, not site rules)

Usually this is OK, but sometimes a distro port package maintainer goofs up the
specfile and the files get mis-installed.
