Parse errors with 70_sare_obfu0.cf

I've installed various .cf rules into /etc/mail/spamassassin (correct owner:group & permissions). They all install fine into Spamassassin except 70 sareobfu0.cf downloaded from here...

http://www.rulesemporium.com/rules.htm#obfu

...which produces screeds of parsing errors (total 610 'issues') reported by --lint as against 5 without that file (run as clamav user).

I've re-downloaded a couple of times but all the same. I cannot find any notes refering to compatibility issues. Can anyone confirm that this file is OK with them or same parsing errors?

Server 10.4.7, SpamAssassin version 3.0.1 running on Perl version 5.8.6.

Ta
-david

If the obfu file is removed, it all goes fine.

Thanks, Alex, that works just fine.

I think your suspicions may be correct. Looks like there are some escape chars or something in that file which my rather basic copy and paste probably screwed up. I'll do some tests later and post back just in case someone else has the same problem.

thanks again,
-david (away to finish that suite of tests I started 🙂
