How interesting that you are hitting the BASE64_LENGTH_79_INF rule and I'm
not. I just looked and I have never triggered that rule in any spams, but
I have triggered it in a couple of hams. Now why would it work for you
and not for me???? hmmmmm..... I am using SA 3.2.4. By the way, that
mime block is only 76 characters wide.
well, I did a cut-paste from the pastebin page, so maybe there's a
mismatch between what I passed to sa and your message?
sa-update and jm sought here. without Bayes, it's missed.
I ran sa-update just a few minutes ago and it didn't make a difference.
I habitually run most of my spam through sa-learn and most of my ham too.
I know it's work b/c I do have a lot of spam trigger the BAYES_99 rule
(and others too). I am still surprised that I had such a low score on
this one. Bayes would have been my only saving grace here too.
I have spam that goes to pseudo-traps. maybe this helps Bayes.
anyway, if your SA only misses few spam, there's no need to try to
improve that with new rules.
