Problems after upgrading from 3.0.1 to 3.0.2 via CPAN

I just upgraded my Testbed SA installation (on a Solaris 8 system with Perl 5.8.5) from 3.0.1 to 3.0.2 and am having problems that didn't exist in 3.0.1. Running "spamassassin -D --lint < /dev/null" reveals: testbed:1:50 [/] # spamassassin -D --lint < /dev/null debug: SpamAssassin version 3.0.2 de

Question on my mass-check scores

Greetings, I did some googling and archive searching but didn't come up with a lot and so I have a question on generating my own scores with mass-check. I ran mass-check on a very small test corpus (437 spam, 99 ham) by untarring Mail-SpamAssassin-3.0.1.tar.gz doing the following: 1) cd to Mail-Sp

Re: Need help with Bayes DB

Check to make sure that you don't have a phantom local.cf somewhere that's pointing SA to the wrong directory for bayes. For instance, see if you have both a /etc/spamassassin and /etc/mail/spamassassin folder. Make sure it's not putting a new bayes database in your /.spamassassin directory. M

Failures after upgrade to 3.0.2

I upgraded this morning, from sources. Build was all OK so |I installed, and restarted spamd. Since then I have had a number of cases of spamd just stopping, and log messages like (I call from exim) 2004-12-23 11:46:04 1ChRPw-0001BG-P3 spam acl condition: warning - spamd connection to 127.0.0.1

diff for rules_du_jour

Hi! Attached is a diff for rules_du_jour. I prefer to manually update my mail rules and push them out to my servers, vs use cron on each. Since rules_du_jour is only one component of my mail setup, I typically execute a script that updates it in addition to other things. Unfortunately that mean

Re: Bayes is letting too much spam through

It isn't clear that you personally are doing something wrong, but it is clear that something in your setup is wrong. Bayes_00 says "this is ham, absolutely guaranteed". Thus it adds a negative score to offset any minor infractions that may have been hit from other rules. Since you say the messag

Bayes is letting too much spam through

When spam gets through to my inbox, it almost always would have been marked spam, and then I see BAYES_00. By my count, without the BAYES_00 flag, SA would have blocked the message. Should I turn BAYESIAN filters off, or am I doing something wrong? I cannot imagine why anyone would turn BAY
