Hi Matus,

Yes, I had already run into, diagnosed and fixed traversing to the
perl directories.

Finally, the solution seams to have been changing the permissions on
/var/lib/spamassassin/4.000000/ from 750 to 755

Which logially makes sense, but does not explain why it was working,
and then stopped - so I am curious to see what happens if apt updates
the spamassissn package.

Cheers.

Simon
