So the combination of 72_scores_temporary_fix.cf and the latest
72_scores.cf result in the same rules + scores as the 72_scores.cf from
march?
Correct.
Or are some scores different?
The ~56 scores in 72_scores.cf will change slightly each night based on
masscheck processing. The "last known good" scores from March for the
~107 that are missing from 72_scores.cf have been put in the
72_scores_temporary_fix.cf to prevent low overall scoring like what
happened in mid June.
What is the intention of this temporary fix of the rule updates? Will it
allow score changes by the score generation system? If so, what will
prevent unexpected/unintended scores to be generated because the score
generation is broken? And if not, what is gained by activating the rule
updates again, will manual rule updates be pushed?
Yes. The scores that are making it to the 72_scores.cf appear to be
correct. The issue is causing 2/3rds of the scores to be completely
missing taking the default score of 1.0 to throw off scoring significantly.
We need to sa-updates going again. None of the updates of the past few
months here have gone out to the Internet:
http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/spamassassin/trunk/rules/?sortby=date
There are some other new rule updates that could be coming soon (i.e.
new LASHBACK RBL testing with very low scores) which add to the
importance to get updates enabled again while I continue to troubleshoot
the incomplete 72_scores.cf issue.

The latest ruleset 1812374.tar.gz with the 72_scores_temporary_fix.cf
was installed on my production mail filters and my spamtrap for
masschecking and the scoring is normal the past couple of hours. Last
time there was a sharp drop in scoring that should have been quickly
obvious.
I need some volunteers to manually install the latest ruleset from any
SA update mirror and check their scoring so we can enable automated
updates via DNS soon:
cd /tmp
wget http://sa-update.ena.com/1812374.tar.gz
wget http://sa-update.ena.com/1812374.tar.gz.sha1
wget http://sa-update.ena.com/1812374.tar.gz.asc
sa-update -v --install 1812374.tar.gz
(restart your spamd, amavisd, mimedefang, MailScanner, etc.)
Please run the commands above and provide some feedback so we can enable
automatic sa-updates again soon.
