That is definitely NOT normal.. what version of perl are you using? Did the
lint output mention anything else when it buggered?

Step 1) Fix your copy of razor.. All versions of SA 2.60 and higher run in
taint mode for security.

Razor version 2.36 and most lower versions are not taint safe.

There's a patch file distributed with the SpamAssassin tarball to fix this.

See
http://wiki.spamassassin.org/w/RazorInsecureDependency

for details.

I don't think that this will fix your other failure, but it's certainly a
problem that needs fixing and has a small chance of causing problems elsewhere.

Fix that, and then see what the output looks like.

Thanks, did that - any reason why it's not applied to SpamAssassin by
default?

I found the cause of the error, it was a mistyped meta rule. It's a bit odd
that the lint output was so vague though, I've not seen it provide such
unuseful help before!!

Thanks for your time Matt!

It's a patch for Razor, not SpamAssassin, so it can't be applied to SpamAssassin at all.

So it is.. Way too late in the evening here for thinking, sorry!

It's not a patch to SA.. it's a patch to razor that comes with SA... Razor
is the one that's not taint-safe.
