Warning: 3.0.1 is subject to a remote DoS vulnerability in its mime decoder. Any
spammer can exploit this by sending you malformed messages.

Any chance you have the AWL on? (note: disabling this in MailScanner.conf
doesn't work, you have to do it in /etc/mail/spamassassin/local.cf)

Warning: Do not use antidrug.cf with SA 3.0.0 or newer. Antidrug.cf is intended
to be used by users of SA 2.64 and older only.

As of SA 3.0.0 the rules are already built-in to SA. By loading antidrug.cf
you'll over-ride any improvements that the SA developers may have made.

I am the author of antidrug.cf, and although I haven't checked to see if the
devs have updated the rules, I am no longer maintaining this configfile
directly. Any future updates I make will likely be pushed directly to the
spamassassin project, and possibly to separate rulesets like "antidrug_31.cf", etc.
