Hi all I have been noticing weird errors while watching my maillog, im running centos 5, and when I did a lint test on spamassassin I got this Code: # spamassassin --lint Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.) or string at /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.5/i386-linux-thread-multi/Scalar/Util.pm line 30.

Thanks!
Did this happen from the beginning, or did you somehow modify/update SpamAssassin? Are you maybe using SpamAssassin 2 rulesets with SpamAssassin 3?
Good questions. How to I find out? This server is at a colocation service and my company wanted me to admin it best I could. There is one big issue and that the outgoing mail goes out very slow. Also someone told me that I might have two versions of spamd running. The server had Blue Quartz installed and I think they never shut down the version that was on the server already. The server is running centos 4. Does this help?
