    Hello

    Since sarge I've had this problem with sa-sync. The error mailed to me from cron is below.

    Basically a missing comment in the antidrug.cf file in spamassassin throws the error, but in line with the version i have, i don't need the file and yet when I remove it, something recreates it and causes the error again.

    Now I'm on etch, amavisd-new-cronjob is triggering cron and here it is. Anyone know how I can keep this deleted?

    spamassassin v3.1.7-2 so well don't need antidrug.cf.

    Any help many thanks

    What's the output of
    Code:
    updatedb
    locate antidrug.cf
    ?

    i get nothing from updatedb, just my prompt.

    # locate antidrug.cf
    /etc/spamassassin/.old-antidrug.cf-file
    /etc/spamassassin/antidrug.cf

    /etc/spamassassin/.old-antidrug.cf-file is when I tried to move the antidrug.cf out of the way.

    i 'm stumped.

    thanks for your help man.

    Can you delete both files? Does it work then?

    Have done.
    I'll get back to you when I've left it to mix for a while.

    Thanks for your help.

    Ah, I've just also noticed I;m getting mails from the crond:

    /bin/sh: line 1: 11381 Segmentation fault /usr/sbin/amavisd-new-cronjob sa-sync

    every 3 hours at ~18/19 minutes past.

    Hope this helps - the file is std dist copy unchanged.

    Thanks

    Blimey, I'm also getting emails - 1 of the every-3-hourly:

    custom rulesets

    hi, mindrail,

    you may have setup your debian according to http://www.howtoforge.com/virtual_postfix_mysql_quota_courier_p4 (I did).

    You were advised to add some cusom rulesets to /usr/local/sbin/sa_rules_update.sh which is periodically called from cron. The antidrug.cf ruleset is one of them and you probably want to get rid of it.
