Hi, users of the pkgsrc package mail/spamassassin version 3.2.0 to 3.2.5 should update the rules as soon as possible. Since the start of the new year the rule FH_DATE_PAST_20XX gets triggered for every single message due to a bad regular expression. This adds about 3.5 points to the score of every message, with 5 points being the default value to classify a message as spam. There are several ways you can update your rules: 1) Run sa-update and get all the latest rules, including the updated rule FH_DATE_PAST_20XX. You can see the version your are retrieving by running sa-update with the debug option "-D". Make sure you retrieve at least update 895075. 2) Update the package mail/spamassassin to the latest version 3.2.5nb4. This version contains the new rule as a patch. 3) Change the regular expression in file 72_active.cf with the the text editor of your choice from header FH_DATE_PAST_20XX Date =~ /20[1-9][0-9]/ [if-unset: 2006]^M to header FH_DATE_PAST_20XX Date =~ /20[2-9][0-9]/ [if-unset: 2006]^M The affected file 72_active.cf can be found either in /usr/pkg/share/spamassassin/ if you never used sa-update before or in /var/spamassassin/3.002005/updates_spamassassin_org/ where rules are stored by sa-update. Don't forget to restart SpamAssassin to enable the updated rules. Regards, Klaus Heinz
