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 iterations). Changing the score from "5.0" to "5.0 5.0 5.0 5.0" has no effect. Using the '(4)' syntax does not work, the default of 1.0 is used. Changing the score in user_prefs within the first 5 tests after restart results in user_prefs being re-read, and the altered score being used. I should point out that the rules this problem is occurring with are defined in user_prefs, so there is no doubt whatsoever that the file is being found and read (can't be permissions etc). The rule is created and described properly. It just isn't being scored properly. The 'spamassassin' command has no problem getting the right score. Does anyone know why this might be happening? Is this an obscure feature, or should I report it as a bug? Has anyone else had similar problems? A quick search brought up too many irrelevant results to show if anyone else has posted about this... I'm running SpamAssassin 3.0.2, on RedHat 9, with Perl 5.8.0. Built as an RPM from tarball. Thanks for any help or suggestions you might have. :-) Regards, Paul
