Spam Assassin 2010 bug
« on: January 02, 2010, 03:38:40 PM »
Just read this on Slashdot:

http://it.slashdot.org/story/10/01/02/0027207/SpamAssassin-2010-Bug

Apparently, there is a rule that acts against emails with the year date 2010 or greater.  Is this of concern here?  I have had a LOT less email coming through and a lot of valid emails caught in the spam filter.

Actually, I did search.  It did not reveal anything on the subject.  Seems to be something at issue with the google powered search.  What is wrong with using the search built in to the forum code?  Oh wait, now I see the OTHER search.  Why is there two searches?!  Confusing.

Rather than gossip here, please report all problems via the bug tracker.

Have you checked headers from e-mail today to see if your mails are tagged with that rule?

My e-mail from yesterday morning was tagged. E-mails from this morning are not.

It is reported at Bug tracker...

Have a look at my post under the contribs section, just waiting for some clarification on how to fix it..

The bugtracker indicated that the next day's spam assassin rule update would fix it.  Seems to have.
