SA Bugzilla – Bug 2652
Uninitialized value, spamd 2.60 line 660
Last modified: 2004-01-19 06:07:29 UTC
If spamd is configured to run as "spamd -c" and the user does not yet have a $HOME/.spamassassin directory, spamd creates it, but Use of uninitialized value in pattern match (m//) at /usr/local/sbin/spamd line 660 gets logged via syslog. Subsequent use of spamc/spamd does not show this warning again, it only seems to happen the first time a particular user uses spamc/spamd.

This doesn't seem to happen in 2.62. I picked a random user w/out the prefs dir (rpm in this case): Jan 19 18:06:09 eclectic spamd[30982]: info: setuid to rpm succeeded Jan 19 18:06:09 eclectic spamd[30982]: Creating default_prefs [/var/lib/rpm/.spamassassin/ user_prefs] Jan 19 18:06:09 eclectic spamd[30982]: Created user preferences file: /var/lib/rpm/ .spamassassin/user_prefs if you can recreate with 2.62 or later, we can reopen the bug.
