Maybe this has been discussed recently and I missed it ... But, in case
anyone else comes across this, I had an old sa-learn in /usr/local/bin
which comes before the /usr/bin in my PATH. After getting rid of the old
one everything is fine. Note: even though the old one was getting
called, it was reporting spamassassin version 3.0.2 I guess because it
uses the new Mail::SpamAssassin stuff.
