Questions

2005-11-30 Thread Tony Melia





Hi,
I have a couple of 
questions that I cannot find answers to in the FAQ.
 
Firstly, I have 
downloaded, installed, and updated rules_du_jour.  Do I need to do anything 
to actually tell spamassassin to use these new rules, or does it just use any 
new rules dropped in the relevant folder?
 
Also, I use amavisd 
to check mail for spam.  When I run spamc on a test email, I get nice 
output telling me what tests were run, and what 
each scored.  Is there any way I can turn on this output by 
default so it appears in my 
mailllog?  I know it will lead to massive logs, but that aside, it 
would be useful.  I have tried adding -D to the spamd commandline in init.d 
and /etc/sysconfig/spamassassin  (using fedora Core 4) but it seems to 
ignore it.
 
Regards,
Tony
 
 
 


Picture based spam

2005-11-16 Thread Tony Melia



Hi,
    I 
have setup SA 3.1 under FC4, which is working quite well.  However, one 
type of message that still gets through is a series of mails that are made up of 
no text other than a varying subject, then a picture, which is black text on 
white, which looks exactly like an ordinary email.  Obviously SA can't read 
the message since it is an image, but is there a way to make a rule that blocks 
a mail where there is an image only, no text?
 
Regards,
Tony


Score Info (was RE: error in counting score?)

2005-11-16 Thread Tony Melia
Just on this point, when I set up amavisd and spamassassin on a test RH9
server, U used to get the score info, e.g no_real_name=.5, blah_blah_blah=2.
On a new fedora core 4 system, SA 3.10, I don't get this info.  Is there a
flag I can set to get it?

Regards,

Ever seen such a thing? Why is the score 5.55, when only one rules with
0.55 makes a hit?

Spamassassin Distro

2005-11-11 Thread Tony Melia



Hi, I am looking at 
setting up a new linux box dedicated to spamassassin via amavisd.  I am 
wondering what the best distro is to do this on, is there a particular distro 
you guys can recommend?  I am not looking for an out-of-the-box solution, 
but one that spam cleaning is almost native to!
 
Regards,Tony
