The other night my default gentoo RulesDuJour for Spamassassin acquired new

With Spamassassin 3.1.4 I'm running spamd. and my global procmail uses
spamc to process mail. Individual users train/report with spamc too.

I've been getting a _lot_ of spam recently which has been defeating my
spamassassin configuration - all of it has the same general form... A
message with auto-generated prose and an image. I installed FuzzyOCR

I've also recently upgraded, but only to version 3.1.4 (in order to be

I have a very similar set of warnings (though none about DCC/Razor etc

I don't... It can't be that hard to do using a polling approach... It
