Hello, I am using SA 3.0.3 on Debian Sarge with Postfix and amavisd-new. So far Spamassassin is filtering just about everything with very few exceptions. However, since about a week ago, I'm getting a few false negatives (ie. nondetected spam) every day and when I retest them with the same settings that amavisd-new uses (ie. call "spamc < mail.txt" on the server as the user "amavis"), it usually gets detected.
Here is such a mail as tested by SA/amavis when it arrived (full mail below): X-Spam-Status: No, hits=4.0 tagged_above=-100.0 required=5.0 tests=BAYES_50, DCC_CHECK, DIGEST_MULTIPLE, HTML_MESSAGE, MIME_HTML_ONLY, RAZOR2_CF_RANGE_51_100, RAZOR2_CHECK X-Spam-Level: **** Retesting it once on the command line gives X-Spam-Status: No, hits=3.7 required=5.0 tests=AWL=0.333,BAYES_60=1, DCC_CHECK=2.169,HTML_MESSAGE=0.001,MIME_HTML_ONLY=0.177 autolearn=no version=3.0.3 Testing it again ten seconds later (because I didn't believe this result) gives: X-Spam-Status: Yes, hits=5.8 required=5.0 tests=AWL=-2.166,BAYES_60=1, DCC_CHECK=2.169,DIGEST_MULTIPLE=0.098,HTML_MESSAGE=0.001, LOCAL_BLACKHOLES_CNKR=1.5,LOCAL_CHINESE_RELAY=1.5, MIME_HTML_ONLY=0.177,RAZOR2_CF_RANGE_51_100=0.056,RAZOR2_CHECK=1.511 autolearn=no version=3.0.3 Log info during these two tests: spamd[20769]: connection from localhost [127.0.0.1] at port 41717 spamd[20769]: processing message <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> for amavis:105. spamd[20769]: clean message (3.7/5.0) for amavis:105 in 20.7 seconds, 2989 bytes. spamd[20769]: result: . 3 - AWL,BAYES_60,DCC_CHECK,HTML_MESSAGE,MIME_HTML_ONLY scantime=20.7,size=2989,mid =<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>,bayes=0.700268886337914,autolearn=no spamd[20770]: connection from localhost [127.0.0.1] at port 41741 spamd[20770]: processing message <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> for amavis:105. spamd[20770]: identified spam (5.8/5.0) for amavis:105 in 10.2 seconds, 2989 bytes. spamd[20770]: result: Y 5 - AWL,BAYES_60,DCC_CHECK,DIGEST_MULTIPLE,HTML_MESSAGE,LOCAL_BLACKHOLES_CNKR,LOCAL_CHINESE_RELAY,MIME_HTML_ONLY,RAZOR2_CF_RANGE_51_100,RAZOR2_CHECK scantime=10.2,size=2989,mid=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>,bayes=0.700268886337914,autolearn=no The two local rules above are defined as header LOCAL_CHINESE_RELAY eval:check_rbl_txt('CNKR', 'cn.ascc.dnsbl.bit.nl.') score LOCAL_CHINESE_RELAY 1.5 header LOCAL_BLACKHOLES_CNKR eval:check_rbl('CNKR', 'cn-kr.blackholes.us.') score LOCAL_BLACKHOLES_CNKR 1.5 I'm suspecting that this might be due to short temporary DNS outages. Is there a way to tell SA to log DNS lookup errors? I'd appreciate any help. Thank you :-) One of the SPAM mail not caught: ================================================================================= Return-Path: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Delivered-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Received: from localhost (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by master.rb-hosting.de (Postfix) with ESMTP id C0DA7F8D7 for <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; Wed, 15 Mar 2006 08:30:30 +0100 (CET) Received: from master.rb-hosting.de ([127.0.0.1]) by localhost (master.rb-hosting.de [127.0.0.1]) (amavisd-new, port 10024) with LMTP id 00961-04 for <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; Wed, 15 Mar 2006 08:30:11 +0100 (CET) Received: from fmmailgate01.web.de (fmmailgate01.web.de [217.72.192.221]) by master.rb-hosting.de (Postfix) with ESMTP id 98CEE624A for <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; Wed, 15 Mar 2006 08:29:27 +0100 (CET) Received: from mx32.web.de (mx32.dlan.cinetic.de [172.20.6.245]) by fmmailgate01.web.de (Postfix) with ESMTP id F240715EEFCD for <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; Wed, 15 Mar 2006 08:28:35 +0100 (CET) Received: from [222.43.138.135] (helo=50635278) by mx32.web.de with smtp (WEB.DE 4.106 #94) id 1FJQQs-0003zh-00; Wed, 15 Mar 2006 08:28:34 +0100 Received: from dugan.trade.es by blister.midshipmen.net (Modtfix) with ESMTP id AB14EC578E for <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; Tue, 14 Mar 2006 23:27:43 -0800 Message-Id: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> From: "Dartsch Glasholz" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Tue, 14 Mar 2006 23:27:43 -0800 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Fabian hat eine und ist ganz stolz damit MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/html; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-WEBDE-FORWARD: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -> [EMAIL PROTECTED] X-Virus-Scanned: by amavisd-new-20030616-p10 (Debian GNU/Linux) at master.rb-hosting.de X-Spam-Status: No, hits=4.0 tagged_above=-100.0 required=5.0 tests=BAYES_50, DCC_CHECK, DIGEST_MULTIPLE, HTML_MESSAGE, MIME_HTML_ONLY, RAZOR2_CF_RANGE_51_100, RAZOR2_CHECK X-Spam-Level: **** X-Length: 2944 X-UID: 29834
