Hi list!

I am trying to verify my installation of SpamAssassin because i still get 
lots of spam.

As i understood the way to test old versions of SA is this:
spamassassin -D --lint -p /etc/MailScanner/spam.assassin.prefs.conf
which runs fine and doesn't generate any errors.

However when i try :
spamassassin -D -t -p /etc/MailScanner/spam.assassin.prefs.conf
[8595] dbg: logger: adding facilities: all
[8595] dbg: logger: logging level is DBG
[8595] dbg: generic: SpamAssassin version 3.2.5

[8595] dbg: dns: no ipv6
[8595] dbg: dns: is Net::DNS::Resolver available? yes
[8595] dbg: dns: Net::DNS version: 0.65

and here it seems to hang endlessly, whereas --lint continues there with :
[8614] dbg: dns: Net::DNS version: 0.65
[8614] dbg: diag: perl platform: 5.008008 linux
[8614] dbg: diag: module installed: Digest::SHA1, version 2.11

I have no idea where to look for the problem if even debug mode hangs
