Thanks for that. I wondered why I was getting an increase in spam. Maybe change
it from 20XX to 201X - Should be set for the next 10 years ;)

Happy New Year,
There is a rule in spamassassin that has started running up
your spam
scores (erroneously) with the beginning of the new decade,
that has a
(alledged) fix in svn, and that hasn't been propagated out
for mass
consumption.
I lurk on the centos list and this was discussed
1/2/2010. This
affected my box, so I am re-listing it here, 'cuz it
appears to affect
all spamassassin users not using the latest ruleset.
Gilbert says look for this in your email headers:
snip
X-Spam-Report:
* 3.4 FH_DATE_PAST_20XX The
date is grossly in the future.
/snip
Fabian says:
snip
Yes and they haven't fixed it (yet) :
https://issues.apache.org/SpamAssassin/show_bug.cgi?id=6269
Change your score for that rule, or disable it, or change
it like
described in the bug entry
I like the fact that they said it was fixed in svn some
months ago,
but it's still in svn and not in the $current release
so ... :/
Nothing than a sa-update will not fix when they decide to
update the
base rules
/snip
Kai says:
snip
add
score FH_DATE_PAST_20XX 0
to your /etc/mail/spamassassin/local.cf
And you should use Bayes. A well-trained Bayes would have
balanced that
down (assuming it was ham).
/snip
thanks to gilbert, fabian, and kai for the thread.
I am on a Centos 4.x box, and I seem to be having perl
issues with
running sa-update that I need to troubleshoot on
Monday...so you may or
may not be affected. Also, that link seems to imply
the fix has been
pushed out with ruleset 895075. Heads up
anyways.
regards,
fuzzy
