Bug ID: 8287
Summary: Offset score settings do not work when no score has
been explicitly set previously
Product: Spamassassin
Version: 4.0.1
Hardware: PC
OS: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: minor
Priority: P2
Component: Rules
Assignee: dev@spamassassin.apache.org
Reporter: kdeu...@vianet.ca
Target Milestone: Undefined
In preparing a new platform for SA, I found that offset/adjustment scores
("score RULENAME (1)") do not work correctly and give a lint error:
warn: config: invalid 'score' value in /etc/smtp-spamd/smtmp.cf (line 266):
score MANY_SPAN_IN_TEXT (0.5)
when no score has been explicitly set sometime earlier in the rule loading.
This triggered both on a custom rule from a local ruleset, which happened to
have been originally defined as a T_ rule, and on a stock rule I found to have
recently changed from having a RuleQA-assigned score to using the default score
of 1.
The former was left at the default T_ score of 0.01 in a primary SA instance,
but (intended to be) adjusted in a secondary instance handling a different mail
flow - otherwise I would have included the different score in the rules
channel. I converted it to a regular rule with an explicit 0.01 score while
troubleshooting.
The latter was MANY_SPAN_IN_TEXT scored "score MANY_SPAN_IN_TEXT 2.299 2.197
2.299 2.197" as of sometime in the past few weeks, but recently reverted to the
default 1, with no explicit "score MANY_SPAN_IN_TEXT ..." line in the stock
ruleset.
This may be related to a lesser issue I came across much longer ago, that these
offset score settings are also not valid on their own in a custom rules
channel. (for example, I can't put "score MANY_SPAN_IN_TEXT (1)" in my custom
channel, as it'll create a lint error when sa-update attempts to install it.)
