#5084 Invalid option "report_header" in Spamassassin config
There's a 9 year old error described in the forum at https://www.virtualmin.com/node/9748 that doesn't seem to have been addressed. It says a bug report has been raised but I couldn't find one so I'm raising this (apologies if it's a duplicate nevertheless).
If I run /etc/cron.daily/spamassassin I get a whole lot of debug output starting with
failed to parse line, skipping, in "/etc/spamassassin/local.cf": report_header 1
Commenting out that line (at the bottom, added by webmin) fixes the problem. I'm running Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, fully updated.
As far as I can tell, this configuration option has never existed - perhaps a typo rather than a deprecation.
you have to set report x-spam header to NO, this option is removed since SA3
I'll provide patch to disable this option for SA3
Do you know which exact SpamAssassin version this was disabled in?
it was replaced by the new options in 3.0, but I don't know if there was a grace period where it was allowed for backward compatibility.
unfortunately Google also has no real results about this topic 🤔
in the 2.6 conf doc are more warnings about removed optiins. from reading this all old report options are gone with 2.6 and discarded somewhere in 3.x

in addition i had a look in all availible conf doc from 2.6 to today. report-header is mentoined in none of these docs. so it seems it was deprecated and removed before sa 2.6.
may be we should simply drop this option and use the new header rules from 2.6 onwards.
also for pyzor etc ...
Let's just assume 2.6 then
