Re: Increase in the level of spam

What do you mean, 0 spamassassin rating?

Can you share any of the spam reports?

Re: An Idea for a great plugin

There is also the References: header that should also contain the message id. And yes, some email clients will not use the headers correctly. That's ok. It just means we treat the messages as normal and do the normal checks. Doing the header checks is relatively easy. Modifying the message to leave ...

Re: An Idea for a great plugin

Looking a little more closely at MailScanner, I can see that the message ids are not stored in a useful format, so to make a feature like this possible we would either have to: - change mail scanner to store the Message-IDs (Message-ID: (.*)) into the database that we could then query or - implement...

Re: An Idea for a great plugin

Interesting idea, so I had a look to see if anyone else has thought of this. There is/was a spamassassin plugin called " In-Reply-To " that is unfortunately no longer maintained and the original website no longer exists. Well, to the wayback machine then! Here is the: archived version , th...

Re: Cron notifications in messages screen

Ha! Thanks DaN,

That is indeed the fix. It's been over an hour and the message hasn't returned.

The lesson here is: if you are getting these cron messages, pay attention to them.

Re: Cron notifications in messages screen

oops. I just noticed that I'm getting those messages to after upgrading. I didn't noticed until I actually looked. The message is generated by the hourly cron job to show the results.

Well, a quick Google search turns up this: http://serverfault.com/questions/728641/blacklisting-tld-in-postfix Another way would be to use spamassassin to look for the domain and score it really high, this way you could verify that the messages are actually spam.

Re: Cron notifications in messages screen

Can you tell me the contents of the following files:
  • /etc/cron.d/0hourly
  • /etc/aliases
I think I know what your problem is, and that information will confirm it.

You could disable spamassassin checks

Why would you want to do that?

Re: Need some help writing my own SA rules

quick idea, can you examine the existing rule sets and see if there are any with an or conditional then use that for comparison?

otherwise, it's off to the spamassassin wiki to read about how to write the rules.

Re: [SOLVED] Fixing missing SA rule descriptions

Correct, old entries remain forever. Modifed entries are updated and new entries are inserted immediately.

I'm pretty sure the rules are automatically loaded, but I never bothered to find out. I know they can be updated safely, and that's all I cared about.

Another solution would have been to setup an iptables rule to accept incoming smtp connections from that provider.

It may have been minor corruption in the log file. Only way to find out is to debug the script on that file.

Re: Notice: Undefined variable:

As a quick guess, I'd say the variables are not getting set beacause the script is having a problem reading the log file. Verify the permissions as well and also compare the log files between the physical and one of the virtual servers - is it the same format and in the same location?
