Benny, it bears mention that not all of ASF's servers/mailing lists
are
configured the same way.
fair
The Apache HTTP Server mailing list requires 5.0. My best guess is
that
they cranked-up the threshold for the SpamAssassin mailing list
because,
by nature, the discussion contains a lot of "spammy" content and
false-positives were becoming a problem.
so senders can now get more help on maillist with spam, this is
intended, but if still some samples is rejected one can pastebin
problems or register an account to show problems with default rules,
remember scores is regnerated so in praktical there is no static scores
in default spamassassin, this is why i still say that the rule are ok,
but the corpus miss more ham to that rule
The fact that SpamAssassin is open-source is what's irrelevant; I
have
no control over how ASF configures its servers, and therefore no
ability
to disable the ridiculous 12-letter-domain check. ASF would have to
change its configuration if my messages are to be accepted.
do you really need to send so much spam to spamassassin lists ?
Better still would be to remove this "feature" from SpamAssassin
altogether, as it is completely useless. That way, the problem would
disappear as soon as ASF updates to a version of SpamAssassin in
which
the 12-letter-domain check is removed.
arg i dont agree, removeing one rule does not make a fix
The fact is that nobody has articulated the rationale behind the
12-letter-domain check speaks for itself.
nope i dont think it does, it could very well thay dont have the
problem
If a rule is deemed to be
useless, why is it not removed?
it depends on who and where you send it, spamassassin maintainers dont
control the whole world of spamsassin servers that use there software,
same way as mta maintainers does not say why config one have in main.cf
in postfix, thay only suggest defaults in postconf -d
It is wasting CPU cycles and affecting
genuine ASF mailing list subscribers adversely (by rejecting their
messages without basis).
make an account on ASF, and report the problem with sample
Further, it's not as though ASF's servers are
the only ones using FROM_12LTRDOM; this ridiculous issue is affecting
my
ability to communicate across the Internet at large.
this is how rules works, but local admins can compensate to free use of
spamassassin, maybe users just need to drop spamassassin and find
something better ?
if servers have enough ram it seems others just dont give a damm and
install spam signatures into clamav and reject at mta stage, better ?
Given that ASF has no other public support channel, and no way to
contact anybody to request that the filters be adjusted, what choice
do
I have beyond pushing to have the software modified?
should we start asking them for there paypal account ? :=)
Thank you,
remember i am just a free user aswell
