mass-check -c parameter expects to find every config file in that single
directory. Now it's missing spamassassin updates and specifically
20_aux_tlds.cf from there. You could copy it to /etc/spamassassin
temporarily, but I'd rather make a completely separate directory that should
include only the relevant *.pre and *.cf files you need for the scan.

Oh yeah and actually you should never use -c=/etc/spamassassin, as the
mass-check can then potentially then trash your AWL/bayes etc since it's
using your main config..

Sorry, it's more of a developer tool and I know the wiki guides are terribly
outdated. :-)

OK, thanks. So I created a directory: /root/spam_rules

I copied over every .cf and .pre file from /etc/spamassassin into that
dir as well as every .cf and .pre file inside
/var/lib/spamassassin/3.004004

I ran mass-check with "-c=~/root/spam_rules" and now get a ton of these
errors:

version 3.004004 of SpamAssassin, but this is code version 3.004006.

spamassassin -V reports: "SpamAssassin version 3.4.4"

I imagine I have to checkout an older 3.4.4 point version from SVN and
use the mass-check command from that. It's been ages since I've used
SVN.

How can I get to the older version via SVN?

What are you trying to do?
run masscheck for your rules or for the SA project?

I’m experimenting with writing my own rules. My machines are using SA 3.4.4 so I want to use the 3.4.4 rules.

this may give you some pointers

Don't blindly copy all .cf files from /etc/spamassassin, there's no point
using AWL or bayes etc from that config.

svn checkout http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/spamassassin/trunk spamassassin-trunk

Use the rules-directory found in spamassassin-trunk/rules, instead of
sa-update directory.

I solved this by downloading version 3.4.4 of SA from metacpan and then
dropping the masses/ dir with the mass-check tool from SVN into the
3.4.4 version.

OK. I'm setting up a test machine to duplicate a live machine. Not sure
if that makes a difference or not.

I have the trunk downloaded via svn, but I have no idea how to find the
revision for 3.4.4 and roll back to it.

I ended up just downloading the 3.4.4 version from metacpan. After
downloading and using this version, the errors have gone away.

There is only one set of rules, "if" statements handle any differences.
