My problem can be traced to a change in the command line options. "--max-children N" changed to "--max-children=N".
I suggest that the upgrade script edit /etc/default/spamassassin and do a simple regex change. Another option is to increase the default max-children. -Dave -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
