I suspect you basically are in a clean install state at the moment, with a zapped Bayes db. YOu can do a dump magic to see the number of spam and ham tokens in the db. Probably you just have to re-learn the mandatory couple hundred spam and ham messages to get Bayes running again. Alternately yo

SARE scores

2005-01-29 Thread Rainer Sokoll
Hi, in 70_sare_spoof.cf some scores are set to 104. So a hit in error would mark the mail as a FP. From my understanding, the idea SA uses is to have multiple rules with quite low scores each, but when they sum up, the mail get a high score. If a rule matches in error, there is still a good chance

I'm running Linux From Scratch v6.0. I've now noticed that doing a non-CPAN install of Mail-SPF-Query-1.997 as root has the same problem when doing the make test. Google hasn't turned up a workaround for this yet. Steve Loren Wilton wrote: Hum, I thought they had a workaround for that problem. Wh

Hum, I thought they had a workaround for that problem. Which OS/version are you on? This is a problem in one of the Perl modules that SA uses; I forget which one. Installing as root isn't a good idea, especially because of this little bug. There should have been a comment in the release notes som

I've tried building/testing Spamassassin 3.02 as root and then as a regular user - both times the SPF test failed, but I've noticed that if I test as root the system ends up thinking its hostname is --fqdn. Are there two versions of hostname around for Linux and only one of them has a --fqdn flag,

Known problem. Its in bugzilla. When people get a chance to kill it I'll be among the early adopters. In the mean time I am only serving for myself so I rolled all my runes and rules into a "99_jdow.cf" file in /etc/mail/spamassassin and let spamd handle them directly. It's just a little more akwar

Greetings, This is a weird one. After restarting spamd, and running tests with 'spamc -l -r < file' on a spam that triggers a custom rule, my rule is scored correctly 5 times. On the 6th test, it reverts to the default score of 1.0. Placing the rule in local.cf fixes this (at least up to 10-12 it

Ah, it's not safe to open the root directory. You should redirect email for root to an unprivileged account. 'Nix systems are not like Windows systems in which you really can't do a blasted thing as a normal user. They are designed so that the only thing you do as root is reconfigure the system. {
