Re: FuzzyOcr 3.5.1 released
The installation notes for Fedora Core (version 5 and 6) should say that the rpm needed is giflib-utils not libungif-utils. Can someone amend the wiki please? I don't know how to use a wiki (in fact I really don't like them). Cheers Bill -- Bill Maidment Maidment Enterprises Pty Ltd www.maidment.vu
sa-update behind a proxy server
Hi fellow assassins I want to run sa-update from behind a proxy server. Can someone point me to the doco that covers this. Thanks Bill -- Bill Maidment Maidment Enterprises Pty Ltd www.maidment.com.au
Re: FuzzyOcr mailing list
Hi Thanks for a great addition to Spamassassin. Please keep it on the Spamassassin list (except for configuration help). I have found it very useful so far using the 2.2 beta1. I have made a small change for my purposes, which was needed because the temporary files were not unique using mimedefang. I added a date/time stamp to the file names in the perl module: my $firstline = ($p->decode())[0]; -->my $ts = time; -->my $tempfile = $tmppath . "/" . "spamassassin.$$" . $ts . ".focr"; -->my $errfile = $tmppath . "/" . "spamassassin.$$" . $ts . ".focr.err"; if ($firstline =~ /^\x47\x49\x46/) { This is useful if the temp files get left behind after a failure like this: Aug 21 20:38:21 b090lx4 mimedefang-multiplexor[26383]: Slave 1 stderr: giftopnm: Aug 21 20:38:21 b090lx4 mimedefang-multiplexor[26383]: Slave 1 stderr: error reading magic number Aug 21 20:38:21 b090lx4 mimedefang-multiplexor[26383]: Slave 1 stderr: Aug 21 20:38:21 b090lx4 mimedefang-multiplexor[26383]: Slave 1 stderr: (null): Aug 21 20:38:21 b090lx4 mimedefang-multiplexor[26383]: Slave 1 stderr: EOF / read error reading magic number Aug 21 20:38:21 b090lx4 mimedefang-multiplexor[26383]: Slave 1 stderr: BTW What causes this type of error?

Ooops, found your attachment. Nothing obvious. Grab a real spam and send it thru spamassassin Then run the same thru spamd. See if scores match. If not, just replace spamd with spamassassin in your procmail or whatever you use for local delivery. See if that helps. see if you have more than one copy of spamd around. Like in the wrong directory. Run spamd -h and see if its the right version. Ooops for me too. I'd made two mistakes. 1. I'm running mimedefang, so spamd is irrelevant to my problem as it is the mimdefang daemon that is handling the email. 2. I'd accidentally deleted the $SALocalTestsOnly = 0; line in my mimedefang-filter. Many thanks for your help. At least I've learnt a bit about debugging spamassassin in the process.

If running SuSE see /etc/sysconfig/spamd If running something else, check what starts spamd.
