Fwd: Autolearn problem

I've now noticed however that in my bayes directory there is a (strange) file called auto-whitelist.mutex. The file only has rw permissions for the user and the file seems to be created with the user and group of a given user on the system (e.g. me when I check my mail...not a system account). Also the file doesn't seem to be removed at any point. I suspect this is a lock file that is not being removed. Could this be the reason why I'm getting autolearn=fail? Regards, Can't say for sure but definitely you don't require this kind of .mutex file in bayes directory so you can check by moving or even by removing that file from that dir. and then test by sending few mails. I hope it should work. Crisppy f.

What happens is that a new one is created; usually belonging to a different user on the system and then, that get This is something strange. stuck. In other words the problem keeps on reoccurring. What all is there in your local.cf file. Is that file is used by many users. if you are using any auto-whitelist related rules then check them properly and if doubtful about any entry then just remove . --lint , --sync and then test.

procmailrc issue.
Hi All I am facing one issue with procmailrc file when spamassassin is run through procmailrc as I call spamc from /etc/procmailrc, and it runs in privilege mode for all my users. This way they can put any thing in the file and in mins can get access to the root user. so big security risk to box. At the same time i need to give them access to this file in their virtual home directories so that they can add there recipies to the file for spam filtering. Can i resctrict them in some way to access and edit resources only in local virtual environment and not get suid and sgid access to do harmful things to root environment. -- Crisppy Fernandes

Any input would be appreciated. Thank you, Tom Don't worry. This is spam behaviour change. For making your spam database quickly work you can pick up Bayes stater database from this site link below. http://www.fsl.com/support/ But it is always suggested that spam data base which is basically based on bayesian logic should learn from its own. Also command for making spamassassin learn any file or mail as spam or ham mail, you can use this command sa-learn --spam file/mail_box_path sa-learn --ham file/mail_box_path -- Crisppy Fernandes
Re: rewrite_subject 0 lint: 1 issues detected
After the scripts download the rules and try to merge them I get this error. Lint output: config: SpamAssassin failed to parse line, skipping: rewrite_subject 0 lint: 1 issues detected. please rerun with debug enabled for more information. To solve this remove from your rules file (local.cf or user_prefs) these two lines rewrite_subject 0 subject_tag [spam] and add new syntax i.e. rewrite_header Subject [Spam] and after adding these or any other rules, to debug run spamassassin --lint -D this will show you any more errors if there in the file and always remember to run this command after editing your rules file to synchronise it. enjoy -- Crisppy Fernandes
Re: bayes test
I wonder how I have to train spamassassin to get bayes_XX test start working. I have a rule that trains the bayessian filter with each email y received with the sa-learn tool. You have not mentioned that rule and file in which you have written that rule. if you can tell then it will help others to reply better. anyway let me try to explain bayes_XX wrks purely on basis of probability. It tries to find out tokens in the mail which match to earlier learned tokens. Its always better that bayes rules should learn themselves. but we can always create rules to enhance the chances of that rule appear with other tests. they have their default score which you can check in files: /usr/share/spamassassin/* directory. and user created rules you can write in either /etc/mail/spamassassin/local.cf or user specific file in its home directory user_prefs file. Any rule you write or scores you change do not forget to run the command spamassassin --lint and for debugging you can add -D option. After some months of training (I thought I needed 200 of spam and 200 of ham) I haven't seen it yet. The last spam my spamassassin caught it had these tests: yes its mentioned in spamassassin wiki documentation but reality is much more than this. Read man sa-learn , that will help you in understanding the process better. For further queries mail to the list. -- Crisppy Fernandes
Is spamassassin 3.0.2 wrked for any one just after install or upgrade
Dev community, This is to know from developers community is spamassassin wrked for anyone just after upgrade or install. Everyday one or other new user complaints abt this behaviour that spamassassin after upgrade to 3.0.x version not seems to wrk. After checking the man documents or wiki we come to know that , made it learn 200 spam and ham then it will wrk. But even then it actually not wrk. Corpus are not exact things to check for validity as per sa-learn documentation. Then is there any other easy way. using which a novice can wrk with spamassassin without any need to bother abt learning and all. After going through documentation i am able to understand that it learn automatically on basis of its different rules. But what about users who dont have big load of spams on their servers. Simply here i want to point out is spamassassin.org should provide any procedure which will make users wrk easy and they feel happy using this s/w. -/Crisppyf
Spam not wrking. Hot to train Bayes and make it wrk in beginning.
