My host blames SpamAssassin's failure to assign a spam score to almost
all messages to poor interoperability between cPanel 11 and
SpamAssassin. cPanel claims version 11 works fine, of course.

I have a lot of faith in my host, they get great reviews, and this is
the first real problem I've had with their service in many years; but
I do not find evidence that this is a cPanel/SpamAssasin conflict.

Is anyone else seeing such a conflict? TIA.

I ma not having any conflicts with Cpanel 11 and SpamAssassin. It
sounds like your host is having the problem.

Yes - I got the same reply from my hosting service. They say cPanel
have replied to them, that this is a low priority for the cPanel
people. Not a low priority for all those getting spam! I am reluctant
to post hosting service name on this web, but could it be we are on
the same hosting service? Our hosting servers reside in Atlanta,
Georgia.

I share your reluctance to reveal the host. I do not want to hurt our
relationship and I really don't want to change hosts, but they need to
find a solution regardless of the cause of the problem.

They have not shared with me what you wrote above about the cPanel
people. The first time I asked about it, they gave a reasonable
response; but the second time I asked, after I saw on cPanel's forums
that there are a number of possible pitfalls when upgrading cPanel
that might cause this problem, they seemed a bit snippy.

By the way, there was a previous problem with cPanel that I solved for
them. They had failed to upgrade Perl when they upgraded cPanel and
doing so fixed the problem. Now they get short with me when I suggest
a solution to their current problem.

If SpamAssassin is eating CPU cycles as they say -- and NOT doing it's
job -- then why is it still running?

Oct 15 - 48 spam messages, 7 scored
Oct 16 - 76 spams, 15 scored
Oct 17 - 59 spams, 4 scored

How many websites are running on cPanel 11? It has to be many, many
thousands. I think if this was really a matter of cPanel not getting
along with SpamAssassin, I would find some posts about it via Google,
but that isn't the case.
