I was looking at my procmail log file and noticed some spamassassin error messages. I did a little google search and I may have a broken install.

I am running Debian 3.1 which was an upgrade from Debian 2.

I've include some other information below.

the last part of my .procmail file looks like:


# removed -P at EOL
:0fw
| spamassassin

:0:
* X-Spam-Status: yes
spam

# deliver to local maildir mailbox
:0:
/home/sgasster/Maildir/


***
I'm wondering about how to fix this.
Is it simply a matter of telling spamassassin to look in the correct
config directory? I wasn't sure how to do this or where it should go?
In the spamassassin command in the .procmail file should I point to
the /usr/share/spamassassin directory, since it may be defaulting to
the "old - incorrect" /etc/spamassassin directory?

*** so it seems like I have two sets of config files!

A sample of the procmail logs looks like:
