 When I run sa-learn --dump magic and then run hams or spams into it 
 and dump the magic again, the numbers *never* change.

Most likely because you learn under a different account or with a 
different config file. And since you use MailScanner the latter is most 
probable. MailScanner comes with its own local.cf to get people going. 
However, it introduces this split config problem :-( You have to either 
set MailScanner to use the /etc/mail/spamassassin/local.cf (with updated 
values) or tell sa-learn to use a different config file. I prefer the 
first alternative.

test for sql user prefs fails - debug not helpful - followup

2005-11-19 Thread Dale Morin
Hello,

The db name, username, and password all had underscores, so I renamed the db, 
added a new user, and set a password
without an underscore in any of them.  No change.  I had read a post that 
suggested the parser might be confused by some
unexpected characters so I removed the underscores.

Running spamassassin --lint --debug --nocreate-prefs is clean with no errors 
or warnings.

Any suggestions?

The administrator of the Fedora Core 4 list did so. But it was at least
a day after it was becoming an issue on the list and the morning after
I had helped diagnose what was going on. He was as frustrated as the
rest of us after sending a note to the list that he'd repair it and
getting several challenges back. So he solved it the rational way, for
an irritated person. He blocked and removed all uol.com.br participation
on the list. He really does not have time to handle this one at a time
for a problem that irritates people this much.

I block them. But I do so in a way I can see if I ever get anything real
from them.

 Spammers need to clean their address lists once in a while, lest they 
 end up with a very low proportion of valid addresses, right?

They do not care at all, at least not those which make up for the majority 
of spam. They don't even care that they can't deliver a single mail for 
years to whole domains. I have a customer who got joe-jobbed about two 
years ago (= spam mail that was sent with his domain as sender). The 
influx of bounces from these was so high we had to take the domain not 
only of the mail but also off DNS (by moving his dns records right-away to 
the registry which is possible in Germany). When I checked a year later we 
were still getting something like 50.000 bounces a day, so I deactivated 
him again. I just tried again and have already received nearly 10.000 
delivery attempts (spam, not bounces this time) during the last hours. As 
Matt says, all of that are dictionary attacks. That domain was pointing to 
127.0.0.1 for two years, nevertheless they spam at it in incredible 
masses. 

What makes me wonder the most is why there are a few domains which so 
heavily attract spammers for years and in such big numbers. This domain 
doesn't have anything special about it and is not widely known. If other 
domains would only get ten per-cent of that spam they would already be 
more or less useless.

Hi,

in practice, if the recipient says try later with a 4xx response, the sender

If the sender does not get connected at all, due to firewalling, it might try

Razor2 is not available, but it really is!

2005-11-19 Thread Hjerto
Hello,
This is really strange. I have Razor installed and working, but SA
insists that it isn't there (spamassasin -tD):

  (crop)
  [402] dbg: plugin: loading Mail::SpamAssassin::Plugin::Razor2 from @INC
  [402] dbg: razor2: razor2 is not available
  [402] dbg: plugin: registered
Mail::SpamAssassin::Plugin::Razor2=HASH(0x8d0a354)
  (crop)

But I have Razor, in the search path and all:
  [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ razor-check --v
  Razor Agents 2.77, protocol version 3
  [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/etc/mail/spamassassin$ which razor-check
  /home/hjerto/bin/razor-check
And the plugin:
  [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ perl -e 'require Mail::SpamAssassin::Plugin::Razor2'
  [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$
(I.e.: No error message is good news.)

I'm not root, so it's a single user install. Followed the great guide at
  http://wiki.apache.org/spamassassin/SingleUserUnixInstall

I also activate it in v310.pre:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/etc/mail/spamassassin$ grep -v ^# v310.pre
loadplugin Mail::SpamAssassin::Plugin::DCC
loadplugin Mail::SpamAssassin::Plugin::Pyzor

loadplugin Mail::SpamAssassin::Plugin::AutoLearnThreshold
loadplugin Mail::SpamAssassin::Plugin::WhiteListSubject
loadplugin Mail::SpamAssassin::Plugin::MIMEHeader
loadplugin Mail::SpamAssassin::Plugin::ReplaceTags

Running SA version 3.1.0 on Perl 5.8.4.

Can anybody help me? I'm _so_ close to getting this thing up and running.

Thanks in advance!

Ok, it can't find the perl modules.

 But I have Razor, in the search path and all:
   [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ razor-check --v
   Razor Agents 2.77, protocol version 3
   [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/etc/mail/spamassassin$ which razor-check
   /home/hjerto/bin/razor-check

So it looks like you installed the modules in your home directory, which
probably won't be in @INC, so the plugin can't find them.  If this is the
case, you'll probably have to set PERL5LIB before running SA so that it'll be
able to find the non-standard module location.

Just a quick note that 70_sare_specific.cf has been updated.  Many of
the geocities spam and table-built spam should now be flagged.
Documentation and link at
http://www.rulesemporium.com/rules.htm#specific 

Scores may need adjusting.  And with this announcement, we expect the
spammers will begin modifying their spams to avoid the new rules.
Please send feedback and examples of unmatched spam to

We expect to issue two or three more updates this week to catch those

the bozoid must have been nuked and managed to resubscribe. In that
case the bozo will never see email one from me. I will *NOT* reply to
a UOL C/R to a mailing list message and likely not to any other message,

Java Interface

2005-11-19 Thread Paul Benedict
Hi,

I want to know if there is a Java interface into SpamAssassin? I have a 
requirement to flag some
text as spam or not, but I am not using email. My data is similar to email 
(from, title, body) but
it is not itself from an email system. I just want to hook into the spam 
detection through Java
and teach it how to detect. Is this possible?
