Hi, We started getting (over the last 2 months say) lots of spam, which Spamassassin isn't picking up as spam. Analysing these, they all seem to be of the same type where many paragraphs of random text are "hidden" inside an HTML comment (either contained in <!-- --> or inbetween /* and */ "tags").
Because of this "hidden" text, these messages are triggering BAYES_00 which, I think, is the major influence on them not being correctly identified by Spamassassin as spam. We're running a slightly old version of Spamassassin (v3.2.3) running on SuSE 10.3 but do run sa-update's regularly to pick up new rules (which, perhaps naively I thought was more important the upgrading Spamassassin itself). Has anyone got any advice on how to correctly identify these mails as spam? Do I just need to upgrade to Spamassassin 3.3.0 (I'm assuming that this probably won't make much difference because I'm already using the latest rule sets thanks to sa-update)? Any ideas/help would be very gratefully received as the users are now getting restless and, bayes training isn't really helping. Thanks. David. -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/Text-contained-in-HTML-comments-causing-BAYES_00-to-classify-as-non-spam-tp29342874p29342874.html Sent from the SpamAssassin - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
