For a long time I have been reviewing the header/source of spam that I received in my inbox. The version/release of SpamAssassin was old - at least 10 releases. I pointed this out to the customer service people and tech support folks at my ISP - NO RESPONSE. I followed thru with a letter to the prez of the company.
All of a sudden the header/source reflected the current release of SpamAssassin. The service people said that they have always been up to date with the current release/version - but they had forgotten to do something that it would be reflected in the header/source. I'm a tech and really question this response. Below is the actual response - I would like someone to verify the information: "Our anti-spam system has two components. The first component scans emails at its point of entry and uses the most current anit-spam engine, 3.2.5. The second component popluates the email header with its current engine version then moves the email to your inbox. Since it is not a scan point it had not been updated. This has been corrected to reflect the version used by the component that scans the message, 3.2.5" Tanx -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Release-information-in-email-geader-and-source-tp22762931p22762931.html Sent from the SpamAssassin - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
