Summary: Opengroupware mailer gets tagged as a ratware mailer.
False positive.
Product: Spamassassin
Version: unspecified
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P5
Component: Rules
AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Spamassassin has two rules, RATWARE_HASH_2, and RATWARE_HASH_2_V2 which are
triggered by X-Mailer: headers longer than 16, and 14 characters that are one
of (A-Z,a-z, 0-9,.,_). The opengroupware mailer uses the following header:
X-Mailer: OpenGroupware.org
which has 17 of the above characters in its tag, triggering both rules.
Opengroupware generates legitimate email, is not a spam mailer, and shouldn't be
rated with a relatively high spam score.
The opengroupware maintainers have been contacted (see
http://bugzilla.opengroupware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=607), but
understandably feel that the header is completely legitimate and this problem
should be fixed in SpamAssassin.
This is a re-occuring problem, as seen by
http://bugzilla.spamassassin.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2108. Can these rules have a
list of exceptions added to them? I'm not a regular expression expert, so I
don't know if a maintainable exception list is implementable.
