I haven't been following this thread too closely so apologies if I suggest
trying something you've already done.
It might help us diagnose your problem if you could upload an
improperly-classified message (including _all_ headers) to a site like
pastebin and post the URL here. Then we can see exactly which rules are
hitting.
Now as to the path we are on, someone had insisted that it was a Y2K bug
that was causing the problem. But that dos not make any since to me.
The problem was actually more correctly called a Y2K+10 bug. There was a
rule which adds points if the message date is well in the future. This is
a good idea, but the implementation was flawed - "well in the future" at
the time the rule was written was 2010, and that date was hardcoded (bad
idea). So, when we reached 2010, the rule would _always hit_.
It's been rewritten to use an offset rather than a hardcoded point in
time.
Doesn't Spamassassion have a feature for disabling it for an individual
user?
Not really. The best way to do that is in your glue layer (whatever
interfaces SA into your mail delivery system).
How is SA glued onto your mail system?
Read up on the "all_spam_to" configuration setting, but that isn't as
reliable as telling the glue layer to completely bypass SA for your
opt-out users.
What happens if one of my clients tell me to turn it off for there
account only. You should be able to do that, Right?
It depends how it's glued onto your MTA.
PS, I have never worked with Spamassassion before and I found the
manuals for it not clear enough to help. The things that I find most
helpful are examples. like seeing a peace of a confirmation file and
having just what needs to set pointing out, There is nothing better then
that for helping me to understated.
Edit your local SA config file and add:
score FH_DATE_PAST_20XX 0
and restart SA. Does that affect the behavior any?
