Hi, I upgraded SpamAssassin from 2.11 to 2.20 and the following things are IMHO broken (and have lead to false positives) [XXX are things I did anonymize]:
1. <-- snip --> Date: Mon, 22 Apr 2002 02:10:07 +0200 From: XXX XXX <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: XXX@XXX, XXX@XXX Subject: Sorry, wegen der vielen Mails! SPAM: -------------------- Start SpamAssassin results ---------------------- SPAM: This mail is probably spam. The original message has been altered SPAM: so you can recognise or block similar unwanted mail in future. SPAM: See http://spamassassin.org/tag/ for more details. SPAM: SPAM: Content analysis details: (5 hits, 5 required) SPAM: Hit! (2.0 points) Forged From: line claiming to be from hotmail.com SPAM: Hit! (2.0 points) Subject has lots of exclamation marks SPAM: Hit! (0.5 points) Subject has an exclamation mark SPAM: Hit! (0.5 points) Forged hotmail.com 'Received:' header found SPAM: SPAM: -------------------- End of SpamAssassin results --------------------- <-- snip --> Since there's only one exclamation mark in the subject I consider the exxplation a bit wrong (it seems the "," is also conunted) and besides that two punctuation marks are perhaps not enough to count as PLING_PLING, I'd suggest a criteria like two punctuation marks in a row instead. 2. <-- snip --> Date: Mon, 22 Apr 2002 00:59:21 +0200 (CEST) From: XXX XXX <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] SPAM: -------------------- Start SpamAssassin results ---------------------- SPAM: This mail is probably spam. The original message has been altered SPAM: so you can recognise or block similar unwanted mail in future. SPAM: See http://spamassassin.org/tag/ for more details. SPAM: SPAM: Content analysis details: (6.6 hits, 5 required) SPAM: Hit! (2.4 points) 'Message-Id' was added by a relay (2) SPAM: Hit! (1.0 point) From: ends in numbers SPAM: Hit! (0.8 points) 'Message-Id' was added by yahoo.com, that's OK SPAM: Hit! (2.4 points) Subject: is empty or missing SPAM: SPAM: -------------------- End of SpamAssassin results --------------------- <-- snip --> Your default scores blindly trust a genetic algorithm - in this case the result is "we know that it's OK that the 'Message-Id' was added by a relay" but instead of YAHOO_MSGID_ADDED being the negative opposite of MSG_ID_ADDED_BY_MTA_2 it adds additional 0.8 points. The result is that although SpamAssassin knows that it's OK this mail gets additional 3.2 points and this mail was therefore classified as spam although it wasn't! 3. I don't know why, but in mail that is classified as Spam the whole "Start SpamAssassin results" block is twice in the mail and the second block starts in the line below the first block. This problem didn't occur in SpamAssassin 2.11. cu Adrian -- You only think this is a free country. Like the US the UK spends a lot of time explaining its a free country because its a police state.
