Hi,
thanks Mark and Guenther.
I patched the score part as indicated in Mark's mail and when i run
spamassassin in
debug mode, i do see a message popping up with results to a NaN score:
[6443] warn: !!!!!!!! rules: score 'nan' for rule 'AWL' in 'AWL: '
'From: address is in the auto white-list' at /usr/share/perl5/Mail/
SpamAssassin/PerMsgStatus.pm line 2146.
The message is now correctly marked as spam and no nan reference
is printed in the spam report (in debug mode that is)
When i run spamassassin with the lint option, no errors pop up, only
this message:
warn: Character in 'C' format wrapped in pack at
/usr/share/perl5/Mail/SpamAssassin/Util.pm line 800.
If i edit Util.pm and change the sub my_inet_aton function (more
specific C4 to U4) i
don't get that warning. But testing revealed that it doesn't influence
the scoring/nan.
As for custom rules, i reinstalled spamassassin (with purge option in
debian it should be
removing all dirs as well) and i'm not using any custom rules in my
/etc/spamassassin/local.cf.
I do however alter scores (started because of the nan's influencing the
scores) in my local.cf
Is there a way to check if i have custom rules being loaded?
Thanks,
Benedict
