Folks, we've been using SpamAssassin as part of MailScanner for just
over a year with no problems at all.
However, output (plain ASCII text files of a few k in size) from out
student admin system, which is mailed to users of the system, is now
being flagged as spam. Below are the relevant bits of a header.
The content of the file(?), the file name, the file size, the sender
(shown as 'x' here, but is a valid user), the recipient (a valid user),
would appear to be ok. I can't provide a copy of the file content for
obvious reasons (personal details), which is not much help, although its
plain ASCII text, it is mostly in upper case and consists of just a few
lines of text, ie names, course codes, grades etc.
We have the threshold set at 6 for spam, but this scores 100.00 on IE_VULN.
Can it be that the content of the file is being mistaken for something
else? I've found no reference to IE_VULN in any of the FAQ's, mail
archives, google (except one reference to the same score), hence my
posting to this list.
Yes - it's definitely being mistaken. IE_VULN was a ruleset added to
MailScanner's spam.assassin.prefs.conf to catch a nasty IE bug a while
back. It's dead and buried now - so you can safely remove the rule.
Cheers,
Steve.
