[SAtalk] Bayes Poison

Bayes is working very well for me, but I am concerned about poisoning the database with extraneous, obfuscating words that many spam messages contain. A few postings to this list say that there is no problem, but I don't want to spoil a good thing. Are there some rules of thumb on what to sa-lear

[SAtalk] Spam or Bounce?

The attached email looks like a legitimate bounce, but I'm not sure whether it is just a spam message masquerading as a bounce. How can one tell which is correct? >From root Sat Nov 29 07:30:07 2003 Return-Path: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Received: from typhoon.skynet.be (typhoon.skynet.be [195.238.2.8

[SAtalk] Bayes File Ownership

I run sa-learn as root using SA 2.55 and 2.6 on two redhat systems. Both systems run spamd and call spamc from procmail with -u user1 (or user2). Because there are only two users, each system has a common bayes database with file access permitted to both users. Occasionally, I have discovered tha

[SAtalk] SA 2.60-1 installation

I am installing 2.60-1 via RPM packages on a redhat 7.2 system, and running into dependency problems. Putting all three packages (spamassassin, perl-Mail-SpamAssassin and spamassassin tools) on the same command line still gave dependency errors, so I installed those 3 packages with nodeps. Errors

[SAtalk] Rule Syntax

I am using SA 2.55 on a redhat 7.2 machine. I want to catch email with subjects that begin with: =?us-ascii? I used: header gej_US_ASCII Subject =~ /\=\?us-ascii\?/i describe gej_US_ASCII blah blah score gej_US_ASCII 1.0 Checked with --lint, but there was no hit on the rule. Variations

[SAtalk] Configure Bayes Path

To get a single database instead of one for each user, I added "bayes_path /this/that/bayes" to the local.cf file. The database was formed and is being populated by sa-learn; however, when mail is evaluated, the error "Cannot open bayes_path /this/that/bayes R/O: Permission denied" is generated.

Close. I whitelisted myself, and the spam's "Return-Path" points to me. Thanks, Bob. > Even without seeing the missing attachment, I'm guessing the message > matched something in the default whitelists in > /usr/share/spamassassin/60_whitelist.cf > > Amazon? > > -- Bob ---

[SAtalk] Whitelist Problem

I run spamassassin 2.55 on a Redhat 7.2 system The attached email is spam, but it was not filtered because of the "USER_IN_WHITELIST" assessment. I studied my whitelist, and neither the originator nor strings containing the originator are listed, so I don't see how/why the message passed. Can an
