Deprecated config items cause ongoing SpamAssassin warnings :(

Help! (Home for newbies)

When I first configured SpamAssassin in December, I added two lines to the end of /etc/spamassassin/local.cf

rewrite_header subject [SPAM: _SCORE_]
score SPF_FAIL 50

So I know what used to be at the end.

Soon after, something added four more lines (or perhaps rewrote them there, from elsewhere in the file??):

detailed_phrase_score 1
defang_mime 0
report_safe 0
blacklist_from contact@handypat.co

Unfortunately, the first two of those lines are old/deprecated, causing a daily logfile warning.

Feb  8 14:48:34.843 [8801] warn: config: failed to parse line, skipping, in "/etc/spamassassin/local.cf": detailed_phrase_score 1
Feb  8 14:48:34.843 [8801] warn: config: failed to parse line, skipping, in "/etc/spamassassin/local.cf": defang_mime 0
Feb  8 14:48:35.664 [8801] warn: lint: 2 issues detected, please rerun with debug enabled for more information

Any ideas what wrote those in there?

Well, it can’t be Virtualmin: https://github.com/virtualmin/virtualmin-gpl/search?q=detailed_phrase_score

Looks like Webmin deals with those values on Message Modification page, but it wouldn’t add them automatically.

So…I don’t know.

@Jamie, defang_mime was suppressed by report_safe. And detailed_phrase_score was removed starting with SpamAssassin 2.6, i.e. we can safely drop defang_mime and detailed_phrase_score completely from Webmin spam module.

Sure, I’ll do that…
