permissions for the bayes_*
I am trying to figure out something:
When spamd is being run WITHOUT -u johndoe, then presumably, it is
running as root, yes?
So, who should own the files in --siteconfigpath? Especially those that
require modification, like the bayes* and auto_whitelist files?
I am running a setup where spamc is invoked from a global procmailrc
for certain users. However, I see in the logs (I am logging spamd
activities via syslog rule) the following:

This happens at every instance that spamc is invoked for a user.
Here is how the procmail rule invokes spamc:

Problem Adding the X-Spam-Status: header
Hi,
I am unable to figure this for a moment, so a third eye is needed.
After I migrated from 2.64 to 3.1.7, I seem to have lost a very
important functionality that I need with SA - adding the X-Spam-Status:
header.
Believe me, I have RTFMed already the Mail::SpamAssassin::Conf...
From my local.cf, I have the following:
clear_report_template
report Start Spam/Junk Filter results
report Filter analysis score is (_HITS_/_REQD_)
report _SUMMARY_
report Content preview: _PREVIEW_
report End Spam/Junk Filter results
clear_headers
add_header spam Flag _YESNOCAPS_
add_header all Status _YESNO_ score=_SCORE_ required=_REQD_
tests=_TESTS_ autolearn=_AUTOLEARN_ version=_VERSION_
add_header all Checker-Version SpamAssassin _VERSION_
(_SUBVERSION_) on _HOSTNAME_
required_score 4.0
rewrite_header subject SPAM: (_HITS_/_REQD_):
report_safe 0
. but I don't see the header being added. Here is a typical example:
X-Spam-Score: -0.2 (/)
X-Spam-Report: Start Spam/Junk Filter results
Filter analysis score is (-0.2/2.0)
-0.2 BAYES_40 BODY: Bayesian spam probability is 20 to 40%
[score: 0.3295]
End Spam/Junk Filter results
Something is definately amiss, but I can't spot it!

Crazy things do happen in this Open Source world ;)
Anyway, for me, it's because I want to run a second instance of
FuzzyOCR on another box, which in most cases receives mail that has
been analyzed by SA from a box sitting in front of it. Spammers still
are able to connect to this box though, and this is for other reasons
that this box is only hidden by MX, but visible by other means.
It's just that I do not want to run a fully fledged SA on it.

Great! This clarifies the doubts that were lingering in my mind.

The greedy SA 3.1.7
Hi, I have been watching one of my servers running 3.1.7 for several days. With just the default install and a simplistic local.cf, this server is scoring messages so highly that I have gotten suspicious. I decided to deinstall and reinstall everything, even blew away all bayes data! I especially have an issue with the way it's scoring Mail Delivery Failures, all of which seem to be classified as spam with very high scores. It would appear that NDR are not reaching my users, just because of this behaviour. Another thing I have noted is the fact that even legit mail is being scored highly as spam, but it is the scores that are really amazing. I have used rulesdujour sparingly, with the following rules: TRUSTED_RULESETS=" TRIPWIRE ANTIDRUG SARE_ADULT SARE_SPOOF SARE_OEM SARE_HEADER SARE_OBFU SARE_GENLSUBJ SARE_UNSUB SARE_WHITELIST " I have even disabled all these rules, but still, the SA seems to have developed a mind of its own. Now I am lost as to why this should happen. I have put my local.cf at http://mx0.wananchi.com/sa/ I have also put in there a file named sample-data.txt which contains an extract of my MTA's logs as SA is rejecting data. I am logging the data with the following fields: DISCARD_SPAM: Size::$message_size Score::SA_SCORE F:sender_addr T:recipient_addr S:message_subject PS: This data is here for a few hours only.. Again, it's simply amazing how much score (and damage) SA seems to be showing.

Scripted Upgrade from 2.x to 3.x
Hello Everyone, Long time ago, a link to a script names sa3-upgrade.pl was posted at http://wiki.apache.org/spamassassin/UpgradeTo300. The link to the script is currently broken, so it's unavailable. Does anyone have this script and would like to share with me? It's time to do away with my 2.64.
