 How does that differ from what Alexandre said?
 It differs because I am saying they *should* remain listed forever.

Actually, as far as I can tell, you said until the blocklist operator
is satisfied that no further abuse will come from it which is clearly
not forever. 

 Personally if I were running the show I'd seek a large deposit to
 remove an IP and any repeat would result in the loss of that deposit
 with no further chance to remove the IP until it was clearly and
 demonstrably reassigned.

I doubt if a list with such a policy would be of much interest to
anyone.  Just my opinion, of course.

No, in my clarification I have been precise and clear and said:
I am saying they *should* remain listed forever

Really, I cannot be any more exact than that.

This is all OT for a Spamassassin. If you want to bitch about blocklists
why not do it on SPAM-L or at NANAE?

spamc sometimes complains MISSING_MID sometimes not with same message

2010-10-09 Thread Dennis German
The question is: Has anyone seen unpredictable and different results when 
processing the same message?

The operative part of the script is:

#first run use 
echo setting aside user_prefs, running with system wide values
mv ~/.spamassassin/user_prefs  ~/.spamassassin/user_prefss
cp ~/.spamassassin/user_prefs.rptonly  ~/.spamassassin/user_prefs
grep -iv X-SPAM $1 | spamc  $1.o
grep X-Spam $1.o
grep -A14 pts rule name $1.oo|grep -v \-\-\-\-

#second run. use all MY prefs
mv -f ~/.spamassassin/user_prefss ~/.spamassassin/user_prefs
grep -iv X-SPAM $1 | spamc  $1.oo
grep X-Spam $1.oo
grep -A13 pts rule name $1.oo |grep -v \-\-\-\-



where user_prefs.rptonly  contains
add_header all report _REPORT_
add_header all testscores _TESTSSCORES(,)_

I run the script multiple times and get unpredictable results regarding the 
appearance of MISSING_MID.



Thank you,
Dennis German

Sure.  if your setup is messed up, you will get unpredictable results.

Re: spamc sometimes complains MISSING_MID ... NOT...

2010-10-09 Thread Dennis German
There is at least one problem with my script, NOT spamassassin.
I did not expect the results to be in different order.
The grep -A14 'pts rule name' may not display all the errors.

Sorry 'bout that.

No.

 The operative part of the script is:
 
 #first run use 
 echo setting aside user_prefs, running with system wide values
 mv ~/.spamassassin/user_prefs  ~/.spamassassin/user_prefss
 cp ~/.spamassassin/user_prefs.rptonly  ~/.spamassassin/user_prefs
 grep -iv X-SPAM $1 | spamc  $1.o
 grep X-Spam $1.o

Your grepping is broken. You're not limiting the pattern at the
beginning of a line, and more importantly don't account for multi-line
headers. This can result in a lot of strange things.

Formail is your friend. To correctly extract all X-Spam headers, use
formail -X, and to remove them use -I instead of -X.

  formail -X X-Spam  $msg

However, there is no need to remove SA headers before processing it a
second time with SA. SA ignores these.

 grep -A14 pts rule name $1.oo|grep -v \-\-\-\-

What if there are more lines??

Yeah, I can see that happening with a script like the above. :)

 I processed the same input file each time.

I don't see how that changes the need to remove X-Spam headers. There
still is no need to.

   grep -A14 pts rule name $1.oo|grep -v \-\-\-\-

 That's the problem since the report lines do not always come in the same 
 order.
 
 Thanks for the info on formail. 
 Just goes to show how helpful others can be if you can just ask.

Ask, and provide all relevant info. ;)  This one was much better than
your first attempt (which was terribly confusing), because it included
the way you're post-processing, enabling us to reproduce or understand
the issue.


As a side-note, you may want to consider using 'spamassassin' with the
--cf or --prefs-file options, defining single config lines ad-hoc and
completely switching user_prefs files respectively. Slower than using
spamc, but gets rid of the nasty mv orgy to switch user_prefs.
