Summary: mass-check --reuse cannot deal with previously-unscanned
mail
Product: Spamassassin
Version: SVN Trunk (Latest Devel Version)
Platform: Other
OS/Version: other
Status: NEW
Severity: major
Priority: P2
Component: Masses
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Noted from discussion on dev. It seems that "mass-check --reuse" essentially
works by zeroing the reused rules entirely, and this means that if a corpus
contains messages that were not scanned by SpamAssassin with network tests
active, it will simply consider those mails to be missed by the reused
rules.
There's a range of connected issues;
- should it re-enable those rules somehow, dynamically? (I think this
may be best.)
- should it issue a warning?
- or maintain a file containing the mass-check IDs of mails that need a full
scan, instead?
- what if the user has not installed Mail::SPF::Query, or a similar required
module, or was running with -L, and therefore would have X-Spam-Status
lines but never any hits on those rules?
Also worth noting that many SPF_FAIL hits on ham noted in prior mass-checks
were due to changes in SPF records over time. Reusing SPF may be the only
viable way to mass-check SPF using old corpora.
