I installed fuzzyocr according to the installation manual at http://wiki.apache.org/spamassassin/FuzzyOcrPlugin
I am running fc5 and had netpbm installed already but I had to get gocr and giffix by installing libungif-4.1.4. I also had to fix the path in fuzzyocr.cf file. now, when I ran those sample emails via spamassassin -t < ocr-gif.eml, it detected it as spam and all works well but when I passed an image generated by text2gif it doesn't get filtered. I catch spam so I believe spamassassin is working just not doing anything with fuzzyocr? anyone? ====== /var/log/maillog section ================ Aug 16 09:27:31 linux1 sendmail[8053]: k7GDROM5008053: from=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, size=2029, class=0, nrcpts=1, msgid=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, proto=ESMTP, daemon=MTA, relay=bay0-omc3-s17.bay0.hotmail.com [65.54.246.217] Aug 16 09:27:52 linux1 MailScanner[689]: New Batch: Scanning 1 messages, 2607 bytes Aug 16 09:27:52 linux1 MailScanner[689]: MCP Checks completed at 2589284 bytes per second Aug 16 09:27:52 linux1 MailScanner[689]: Spam Checks: Starting Aug 16 09:28:07 linux1 MailScanner[689]: Spam Checks completed at 174 bytes per second Aug 16 09:28:07 linux1 MailScanner[689]: Virus and Content Scanning: Starting Aug 16 09:28:14 linux1 MailScanner[689]: Virus Scanning completed at 336 bytes per second Aug 16 09:28:14 linux1 MailScanner[689]: Uninfected: Delivered 1 messages Aug 16 09:28:14 linux1 MailScanner[689]: Virus Processing completed at 52515 bytes per second Aug 16 09:28:14 linux1 MailScanner[689]: Disinfection completed at 5581700 bytes per second Aug 16 09:28:14 linux1 MailScanner[689]: Batch completed at 114 bytes per second (2607 / 22) Aug 16 09:28:14 linux1 MailScanner[689]: Batch (1 message) processed in 22.73 seconds Aug 16 09:28:14 linux1 MailScanner[689]: MailScanner child dying of old age Aug 16 09:28:15 linux1 MailScanner[8074]: MailScanner E-Mail Virus Scanner version 4.54.6 starting...
