Package: spamassassin Version: 3.1.7-2 Severity: normal auto_whitelist_file_mode uses an inappropriate umask (possibly the user's umask, which by default is 022). This is in contradiction to the documentation in man Mail::SpamAssassin::Plugin::AWL.
The documentation claims that I should have the x bits set in auo_whitelist_file_mode, since it might be used to create directories as well; AWL is supposed to mask the x bits out when creating files instead of directories. However, what AWL actually does now is apply a umask of 022 regardless. For example, I had auto_whitelist_file_mode set to 0770, but my ~/.spamassassin/auto-whitelist files get created with mode 0750 instead of the 0660 expected. A quick Google search pulls up this resolved bug [1], whose fix may have accidentally caused this broken behavior.
