A more likely cause is that spamassassin is picking up a different set of rules files or configuration files for some reason. Check that you are picking up the correct local.cf file, normally under /etc/mail/spamassassin or user_prefs under ~user/.spamassassin. Verify which bayes database you are using. And check the log files for clues as to where it is pointing. I have seen problems before where the bayes database pointed to was not the one you might think it is because of the configuration options in the files mentioned above. -- Scot L.
