Re: [sa] Re: FH_DATE_PAST_20XX
would commenting out FH_DATE_PAST_20XX in 72_active.cf help until it's fixed?

I'm using the Debian Lenny package and it doesn't contain that fix. NOW the 'minor' issue I raised before has just become a MAJOR one. I have already fixed my config, so let's skip *that* portion of the argument :) I speak for the unguessable number of people who have installed a 'standard' 3.2.x install with their linux variant, and don't monitor closely, or watch this list. Some of them, we can hope, will have 'sa-update' running in their nightly cron job. But will that do any good if this 'patch' is not 'rushed' out as an sa-update for the current version? You could release 3.3.0 today, but that would not benefit people who don't know about the upgrade and leave it at 3.2.x. And my pity to all those people who don't run sa-update..... :( - Charles --- Frank DeChellis Internet Access Worldwide 3 East Main StreetWelland, Ontario, CanadaL3B 3W4 905-714-1400 fax 905-732-0524 www.iaw.com --
Plugging dspam into SA
Hi, We used NetBSD 4, SA 3.2.5 and just installed dspam 3.8.0 . Our SMTP server is exim. We run SA on a different server. Exim receives the mail and sends it out for checking. I configured this all myself but I don¹t consider myself 100% confident and well versed, so I write looking to see if there is an easy answer to my question. We call SA into action from exim by specifying spamd_address to the SA server and port number. Is there a simple way to integrate dspam into SA like we integrate Bayes and/or Razor? Am I looking for too simple a solution? My hope is that dspam can be used a simple plugin to spamassassin. Right now, this is the easiest thing I have found: http://eric.lubow.org/projects/dspam-spamassassin-plugin/ If anybody has any advice or ideas, please let me know. THANKS.

2 weird errors ... Might be interconnected
Hi there, We are running Spamassassin 3.2.1. I am getting these error messages repeatedly but I can¹t find where to specify the directory: spam-filter spamd[9476]: auto-whitelist: open of auto-whitelist file failed: locker: safe_lock: cannot create lockfile /nonexistent/.spamassassin/auto-whitelist.mutex: No such file or directory bayes: cannot open bayes databases /usr/local/etc/mail/spamassassin/bayes/bayes_* R/W: lock failed: Interrupted system call We have the file auto-whitelist.mutex in the ~root/.spamassassin directory. I don;t see another file with that name on our system. Our directory with all the .cf files is /usr/local/etc/mail/spamassassin Our bayes directory is /usr/local/etc/mail/spamassassin/bayes Here is the command line used to start spamd: /usr/local/bin/spamd -Q -u spamd -H /var/spool/spamd -d -r /var/run/spamd/spamd.pid -m 45 -i 69.49.xx.xx -A 69.49.xx.xx -p 783 (perl5.8.8) I am not sure what else to include here that would be helpful. Files in my bayes directory are being updated so I know it¹s seeing the directory. Does anybody have any idea how I can lose those error messages?

Spam with HUGE negative scores
Hi there, We use SA 3.2.1 on FreeBSD 6.1. We have Bayes and Razor in use. Lately, 3 weeks or so, we¹ve been getting HUGE negative scores on our spam. And it¹s coming in by the truck load. We use Sa-Update to update our rules from saupdates.openprotect.com and updates.spamassassin.org Has anybody else experience this? Is there a config setting that I messed up that allowed this to come through? Thanks Frank P.S. Are there other channels that people suggest adding to sa-update?

Preconfigured Spamassassin image/setup ?
Is there an image file out there that has a unix server and spamassassin config on it, all in one sort of thing? I have configured spamassassin a few times (one running now) on various servers and it does the job ³better than OK² but I have the feeling it is a lot better then what I¹m getting out of it. I¹m talking like a preconfigured image that the end product is of the Barracuda spam server genre.

I imagine that being in the business of curtailing spam also includes identifying sources and giving the sys admins a chance to rectify problems before listing them. --- Frank DeChellis Internet Access Worldwide 3 East Main StreetWelland, Ontario, CanadaL3B 3W4 905-714-1400 fax 905-732-0524 www.iaw.com --
