Failed to parse line in SpamAssassin configuration, skipping: use_auto_whitelist 1

[Kai Schaetzl]

I'm getting

Failed to parse line in SpamAssassin configuration, skipping:
use_auto_whitelist 1

on a spamassassin --lint with sa 2.63. I think that has started with 2.60,
but I didn't really notice or care until now. Checking the documentation
at spamassassin.org this parameter is still there and uses the same syntax
as before. So, what's the problem here? (I can repro this on all systems
with 2.63.)

2.6x doesn't support that config option. You still need to use -a on
the command line. use_auto_whitelist is only supported in the
development version of SA.

I can't quite believe that, although I want. It's in the official
documentation up at www.spamassassin.org and I remember that it's been
there for long. I've also used it for a long time, I mean *before* 2.60.

perldoc Mail::SpamAssasisn::Conf and search for use_auto_whitelist.
If you find it, then I stand corrected. I'm guessing it's not there.
Try adding -a to the command line.

Ah, well, yes, you are right. It's not there. I was using
http://www.spamassassin.org/doc/Mail_SpamAssassin_Conf.html
as a reference.

Hm, I made a spamassassin -D -a --lint. There's no difference with the
output, how do I tell that it uses AWL? There surely is a current AWL db,
does this indicate, it's in use?

I believe those are generated from a development version. Although
the docs for 2.60-2.63 also have the config option listed. I'd say
something is goofy there and the locally installed version of the docs
should override anything on the website.

Perhaps I'm not being clear. use_auto_whitelist is not a valid config
option. So --lint will fail. Adding -a does nothing to change this.
-a is how you turn on auto whitelisting in versions < 2.7, you don't
use the config option.
