The last announcement that I received from the SpamAssassin-announce
list was the one for version 2.64 sent 4 August 2004.  Maybe it's not
being used anymore.  Has anyone received more recent announcements?

AWL confusion

2004-12-19 Thread Rich
Me new email host is using SA 3.0.1 and I have been watching what gets 
caught and what doesn't so I can do some user_prefs tuning if necessary. 
But I don't understand what is going on with this AWL stuff. The host 
service has it turned on and I get a non-spam message with this score 
report in it:

X-Spam-Report:
* -2.6 BAYES_00 BODY: Bayesian spam probability is 0 to 1%
*  [score: 0.]
*   17 AWL AWL: From: address is in the auto white-list
So why on earth is a 17-score given to an address in an auto white-list? 
Shouldn't an address get a negative score (or, at least, a neutral zero) 
if it's in a WL?

I did a force install because I got exactly the same tests fail, and 3.0.2

"uninitialized value" and other errors with SA 3.0.2

2004-12-19 Thread Brian Kendig
I'm getting errors when I try to use SpamAssassin 3.0.2 (and the same 
errors with 3.0.1), on Mac OS X 10.3.7.  Specifically, when I call it 
from a command line with no arguments (same as if I give it "-t < 
sample-spam.txt"):

And when I call it from my Exim 4.43 mail server through SA-Exim, these 
errors appear in my mail.log:

SpamAssassin 2.64 works just fine.
Is this a bug in SpamAssassin 3.0.2, or am I doing something wrong on 
my end?

Re: more spam gets through since SA 3.x -- Beg to differ

2004-12-19 Thread Florian Effenberger
Hi Richard,
Perl 5.6.1 simply didn't work properly.  It caused Amavis & SA to strip 
emails of their subject lines, failed to scan properly, had real 
problems with spawning multiple processes, and reported errors in 
spamassassin --lint --debug, many of which I was eventually able to 
resolve; but the worst problems remained, including an inability to run 
DCC.
hm... that's interesting. I just checked the top-level INSTALL file and 
it says that Perl 5.6.1 is just fine. When I manually invoke spamc, it 
scans just fine. amavisd-new leaves out some tests. Lint does not tell 
me about any errors.

I think most of the rulesets he has are obtainable from either rulesemporium
or exit0 web sites.  SARE has a pile of rules that you can download for
various things, and they can help a lot, especially if you aren't running
net tests ot bayes.  www.rulesemporium.com/rules.  Just download the various
*.cf files and drop them in to the same directory with your local.cf file.

Re: trying to install 3.0.2 via CPAN

2004-12-19 Thread Loren Wilton
I think my impression of the note I saw was that this was considered
annoying and that someone ought to look at it.  (That impression may be
wrong, as I said, I really wasn't paying a lot of attention.)

So this almost certainly is still a problem in 3.02, since that was just
released in the last couple of days.
I would expect it will probably be fixed in the .03/.04 timeframe, just at a
guess.

One of the optional tests failed here with both 3.0.1 and 3.0.2 due to a
missing include file when it tried to run cc to compile some test. I think
it was the either a DB or DNS test. I simply reran with the test disabled.
I should have noted it and run the bug through the dev list. It's a Mandrake
10.1 install with the "cooker" 3.0.1 Spamassassin against which I tried
running CPAN

Re: more spam gets through since SA 3.x -- Beg to differ

Hi Richard,
First and foremost, I found it necessary to upgrade to perl 5.8.x. The
earlier version (5.6.1 -- installed with Debian) was insufficient for
running Spamassassin under Amavis under my configuration.
what do you mean by insufficient? Did you receive error messages or what 
type of problems did occur?

Florian, what version of Perl are you using?  Post your amavis.conf file.
5.6.1, the Debian standard one.
I use the following rulesets in addition to those distributed with
Spamassassin:

upgrading to 3.0 from 2.64 note

I recently upgraded my spamassassin 2.64 to 3.02 on three machines (two
Solaris, one FreeBSD).

The Solaris installs went according to the upgrade notes/wiki, but the
FreeBSD machine was a bit different, in that It required the "Storable"
module from CPAN.

once I installed it, it went smooth.
just FYI.

On another paw, Jeff, I hear that spammers are plying the US Congress
with large sums of money and expensive lobbyists to get a rather
watered down Federal law against spam based on the commerce clause.
The law would usurp all state laws. Make sure your Congresscritters
are well aware that their jobs may depend on REALLY stiff anti-spam
laws. Other people can do a "MoveOn.org" or "Vietnam Vets" tear down
a candidate process on the web. Heck, it might be fun to be proactive
and tear down a few Congresscritters who are already known to be soft
on spam.
