I am getting a lot of these. We use pretty much all the rules at rules emporium, but nothing over 0 level, as well as do our sa-update (which doesn't seem to have updated since Feb 24?, maybe the problem?). I also use the KAM.cf file and FuzzyOcr. I even tried disabling bayes afer this weeks di

SA 3.1.7 false positive on FORGED_MUA_OUTLOOK

2007-02-01 Thread Robert Fitzpatrick
I had a customer requesting a whitelist of an address this morning. I always look them up to see the SA score. This one seems to be a FP on the FORGED_MUA_OUTLOOK rule, see below. I say this due to finding numerous posting via a google search, sonmeone even suggested disabling this buggy rule. What

Having the same problem with two gateways running FreeBSD with Postfix 2.2.9 and amavisd-new content filtering using SA 3.1.x where delays I think are running high.
