Hi,


No, change the $SA_RESTART variable in the config file.  That way you
don't have to make the same change every time you update RDJ.

The same goes for the $TRUSTED_RULESETS variable.



OK I see now. Thanks, that got it!

Sounds like you need to add (or fix) a line in your RDJ config file:

SA_DIR="/etc/mail/spamassassin";

It is currently looking in /etc/spamassassin for some reason.

Re: lots of new spam

Hi,


do you have version 1.28 of rules_du_jour?

It's the version that added SARE_STOCKS.


Yes I do and I've fiddled around with it and have it working now. One last 
question though: at the  bottom of the rules_du_jour script, it says:


[ "${SA_RESTART}" ] || \
   SA_RESTART="/etc/init.d/spamassassin restart";  # Command used to 
restart spamd
   # May be 
/etc/rc.d/init.d/spamassassin restart


I call spamassassin from Mimedefang, and I start/stop both Sendmail and 
Mimedefang using the Sendmail script: .etc/init.d/sendmailI don't use 
spamd. So shouldn't I change that last line in the rules_du_jour so that it 
restarts Sendmail/Mimedefang rather than spamd?


Thanks,

Hi I was having the same problem with these messages.  Bayes didn't
prove to be very effective on them, for me.  I didn't find
70_sare_specific.cf to reduce these messages either.  However, some
fellow listees assisted me in fixing my SURBL configuration and it has
nailed every one since.

With SA 3 SURBL support is built in, I believe you just have to enable
it and if you are using MIMEDefang, enable Network Tests in there.

Is anyone else not getting the updated SARE_STOCKS ruleset via RDJ?
When I rule RDJ manually after removing the sare_stocks.cf file I
get: No index found for ruleset named SARE_STOCKS.  Check that this

The rulesemporium website says to add SARE_STOCKS to your trusted

I had the same problem the first time I tried SARE_STOCKS.  The fix was
to install the latest version of RDJ.  When you run your current
version, it should download the new version for you and leave it in the
RDJ working directory (/etc/mail/spamassassin/RulesDuJour).  It doesn't
install itself for security reasons.  Just copy the new version over to

What SA version do you have?

If 3.0.0 or higher, do you have the following line in your
/etc/mail/spamassassin/init.pre:

loadplugin Mail::SpamAssassin::Plugin::URIDNSBL


If you're still using 2.6x you'll need to use the Mail::SpamCopURI plugin, but
that's a bit messy. It would be much easier and better to upgrade to 3.0.5 or 
3.1.0.

You're not upgrading the rules that come with SA.  You're adding to them.  
Many of the SARE rules are almost required to get decent results.  Go to:

http://www.rulesemporium.com

Download the rulesets you want, and put them in /etc/mail/spamassassin.  
Restart SA, your results should improve dramatically.

There are currently no updates for 3.1 being published so there's no
"problem" here.  After issues surrounding sa-update are worked out,
we may start making updates available, or we may just focus on using
sa-update for 3.2 (currently being published), it hasn't been decided yet.

These are one of the latest stock spam variations.  I was getting a 
gazillion

of these when they first started.  I upgraded to the latest copy of
70_sare_stocks.cf, and I don't think I've seen one since.  Note that you 
do
need the *latest* version of 70_sare_stocks.cf.  I was running an older 
one,

and these were slipping past SA.

With regard to enabling URIBL:

As far as blocking the spam your missing, it is common to give us an actual sample of it! :) I can't fix what I can't see. I've tried. I really have. Which is why my car is currently FUBAR :)

Yes, you have something missconfigured, Bayes is poisoned, net test are 
failing and/or you don't have URIBL's enabled.
