I recently migrated my mail server from a Tiger/PPC machine to a Tiger/Intel machine. It seems to be working in most respects, but there are several minor, lingering issues. It's difficult to explain any of them, so I'll try this one which is relatively easy to detail:

When I did the migration, I moved a lot of config files, including both: /etc/mail/spamassassin/local.cf /etc/amavisd.conf

The weird thing is that now I notice that local.cf has two lines in it that weren't there before and that really should be in amavisd.conf. I noticed these because they fail a lint: # spamassassin --lint config: SpamAssassin failed to parse line, skipping: rewrite_subject 1 config: SpamAssassin failed to parse line, skipping: subject_tag SPAM? -- lint: 2 issues detected. please rerun with debug enabled for more information.

(And when I run -D, I don't see what it is I'm supposed to be looking for.)

I see both of those error-triggering lines at the very bottom of local.cf... after edits that I made to tweak the SA scores. So these were added by Server Admin, I presume.

Analogs of those same two lines appear in a different language in amavisd.conf: $sa_spam_subject_tag = 'SPAM? -- '; # (defaults to undef, disables) $sa_spam_modifies_subj = 1; # may be a ref to a lookup table, default is true

So my question is, why is Server Admin writing those lines to local.cf? They were not there before the migration, and they don't appear to be correct now. Is there something obvious I am missing?

If I understand what you've said, you used Server Admin to modify your settings after having manually edited them. The short answer is: don't. Manual edits are by and large a one-way trip. After that, Server Admin can be used to safely stop or start the service but not edit settings. _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.
