We are suffering from run-away spamd processes, growing to large
memory usage and in effect killing all mail delivery. This last
happened Sunday pm and until someone gets to the office we are still
without mail. Looking through the archives I found a message fro

Hello,
I created a Python script that can process Unix mbox files and
generate statistics on the Bayesian filtering of SpamAssassin.
I've ran the script (called 'spamp.py') on a Unix mbox containing
a total of 4381 messages. The mbox contained 2615 dutch non-spam
messages, 1 misclassified englis
Hi All,
Recently our domain has been "joe jobbed" by some spammer, so our users are
getting a lot of bounce messages with spam attachments.
Unfortunately SpamAssassin is letting most of them through because the
header tests won't match the headers from the attached spam message. Is
there any w
Hi all,
I have a strange problem with SpamAssassin and I can't find out a
solution to this:
We use a McAfee Webshield SMTP in front of an IMail server, that scans
for viruses and passes emails to IMail which runs on another port than
25. IMail analyzes the email then using spamc/spamd. When a clie

from the

It looks to me that sa-learn is working -- you're just feeding it
messages that it's already learnt fro

Before you play with the settings, consider updating to the current
version of SpamAssassin. You're probably using 2.44; the current
version is 2.61. At this point, that much spam getting through would be
expected behavior.

Can, with some kluging. Want to? Probably not. Most rule changes take
place via code than via the cf files.

Check you have a perl module called DB_File installed. Without this,
sa-learn will quietly fail (unless you have debug switched on).

I had been running Spamassassin 2.60 and upgraded to 2.61.
The only change that I made apart from installing the rpm was to delete my

If it is not working for you, you can disable the test by setting its
score to 0:
SCORE MSGID_FROM_MTA_SHORT 0
in your user_prefs, or local.cf depending upon whether you're running
as a user or a sysadmin.

Couple of things:
1) this SA Talk list can help you more if you attach an example of the
offending message,
complete with headers (all headers, unchanged). That way we can run it
through
our collection of tweaked rules, and let you know what's working for us.

Hi,
I just received an email from a friend that was marked as spam - though
it isn't spam. (I'm using spamassassin 2.61). here are the headers:
