Did that.  Got the mail ok.  Also got one sent to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
But I didn't get one from RDJ this morning.  So thats a puzzler.

This how RDJ sends mail.  Try it as root on your box and see what
happens.

echo -e "test email" | \
sh -c "mail -s \"Test subject\" [EMAIL PROTECTED]";

A 304 status code indicates that the page has not been changed and
does not need to be downloaded.  I believe this is normal unless one
of the rule sets has changed.

Ok, this was set to gene, whose also in the kmail suckage list, and who 
does get email ok as thats the user who runs the email system here.

And I note that if I run RDJ by hand, all steps involving curl are 
returning a '304', an error code not defined in the manpage. Any idea 
what that means?

RDJ has it's own email settings.  Add a line to your RDJ config file:

MAIL_ADDRESS="[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

There is absolutely nothing in them back to maillog.4 that references 
rules_du_jour.

But a study did show me two problems, first although its running as the 
user, it was bitching about the existance of a procmailrc file 
in /etc/procmail, so I just renamed that which seems to have taken care 
of that bitch.  One less line in the logs per message per spamd client.

However, I'm also left with litterally megabytes of this below snippet 
since it occurs for every incoming message processed by spamd, and its 
something that I'd expect to see in procmail.log since its the spamd 
caller, but I am not.  I was not aware that spamd kept it mutterings in 
maillog.  My bad of course.

You might check your maillog for clues timestamped around 0637 every
morning.  There's probably a forehead slapper in there.  (Most of my
trips to /var/log/maillog result in a slap to the forehead.)

Check also your wrapper (I use my_rules_du_jour to call rules_du_jour)
or config file (normally /etc/rulesdujour/config) for settings of
MAIL_ADDRESS, SINGLE_EMAIL_ONLY, EMAIL_RDJ_UPDATE_ONLY, and MAILCMD.
If those aren't set, and there's an alias for root in /etc/aliases
that gets to you, it should work sensibly.

And you are correct, its the same length anyway, as the one I dl'd DBY 
and installed by hand.  Now to figure out why its not sending me email.

A snippet or 3 from a 'crontab -l' as root:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
06 22 * * * /etc/init.d/asmb restart
40 4 * * 0  /root/bin/fetchmail-restart
37 6 * * *  /usr/local/sbin/rules_du_jour

And I am getting email from the first 2 of those, but not the third.
The 2nd one is to allow logrotate to close the logfiles and reopen them.
However, I may have to delay that more than 4 minutes it appears.

Probably in /etc/mail/spamassassin/RulesDuJour/.

I don't seem to be getting any email from RDJ recently.  Maybe since the 
time I switch this system from fetchmail to a mailfile, and from there 
had kmail running SA which was a cpu killer.  Now I have fetchmail 
handing it off to procmail, which is doing the SA application and 
things are quite a bit happier.

I didn't play with sendmail so its still supposedly handling the locally 
generated emails, and I just looked in /var/spool/mail and all accounts 
there are at 0 length so kmail is indeed picking up everything put 
there.  If RDJ is sending me email from its early morning run, its 
getting lost someplace.

Also, where would it put it if it did dl a new version of itself?

Aargh - I should really be checking the version numbers!  Sorry about that.
I don't have any statistics on this particular ruleset but I've definitely
seen it hitting on a lot of those very annoying image-only stock spams that
otherwise seem so hard to catch.  I like it :-)

I just committed version 01.00.08 of this ruleset to:

http://rulesemporium.com/rules/70_sare_stocks.cf

It should appear within the hour.

Enjoy.

Just a quick note - on the www.rulesemporium.com page it shows a last
updated date of 02/05/2006 for this ruleset, and the last update date in the
file itself shows 2006-02-20.  Can they be updated?  It may sound minor but
if you don't use Rules du Jour you depend on those dates to let you know if
you're running with the latest ruleset or not.

Thanks,
Sandy


Sandy,

My bad in not fixing the Modified date in the rule set itself. Most 
folks, though, key off the # version 01.00.08 and or the actual files 
time to update. I'll fix the Date Modified on the next version and also 
will fix the webpage too. 8*))


I take it your using this set? How's it working for you?

Thanks!

-Doc

Keep an eye on the email output from RDJ.  It will tell you whenever it
updates a rule set, and it will also tell you whenever it downloads a
new version of itself.

I think this is coming up so much recently because it's been a while
since the last rule set was added in.  Nobody notices that they have an
old version of RDJ until they try to add the new rule set.

I've copied this one from that link into the directory where these 
things live, and added a "SARE_STOCKS" to the list in the config file, 
but rules_du_jour claims its not a valid item.  Reporting this:


No index found for ruleset named SARE_STOCKS.  Check that this ruleset 
is still valid.


I'd also gotten rid of SARE_RANDOMVAL from the config for the same 
reason.  Is there something I've forgotten to do to enable this rule 
set?




Have you upgraded and installed the newest RDJ? This has come up on this 
list a lot recently and from what I understand is that RDJ does auto 
download its newest version but it doesn't auto install it.


Let me know if that works.

I've copied this one from that link into the directory where these 
things live, and added a "SARE_STOCKS" to the list in the config file, 
but rules_du_jour claims its not a valid item.  Reporting this:

No index found for ruleset named SARE_STOCKS.  Check that this ruleset 
is still valid.

I'd also gotten rid of SARE_RANDOMVAL from the config for the same 
reason.  Is there something I've forgotten to do to enable this rule
