Happy New Year, There is a rule in spamassassin that has started running up your spam scores (erroneously) with the beginning of the new decade, that has a (alledged) fix in svn, and that hasn't been propagated out for mass consumption.
I lurk on the centos list and this was discussed 1/2/2010. This affected my box, so I am re-listing it here, 'cuz it appears to affect all spamassassin users not using the latest ruleset. Gilbert says look for this in your email headers: <snip> > X-Spam-Report: > * 3.4 FH_DATE_PAST_20XX The date is grossly in the future. </snip> Fabian says: <snip> Yes and they haven't fixed it (yet) : https://issues.apache.org/SpamAssassin/show_bug.cgi?id=6269 Change your score for that rule, or disable it, or change it like described in the bug entry I like the fact that they said it was "fixed" in svn some months ago, but it's still in svn and not in the $current release so ... :/ Nothing than a sa-update will not fix when they decide to update the base rules </snip> Kai says: <snip> add score FH_DATE_PAST_20XX 0 to your /etc/mail/spamassassin/local.cf And you should use Bayes. A well-trained Bayes would have balanced that down (assuming it was ham). </snip> thanks to gilbert, fabian, and kai for the thread. I am on a Centos 4.x box, and I seem to be having perl issues with running sa-update that I need to troubleshoot on Monday...so you may or may not be affected. Also, that link seems to imply the fix has been pushed out with ruleset 895075.
