There are at least a couple of things to check when it comes to
FuzzyOcr... First is the size of the snippet MailScanner sends to
SpamAssassin... Make it rather large (somewhere around 350-400 KiB
should do). The second is to check that FuzzyOcr actually works with
the user you are running MailScanner as (mostly important for Postfix,
which usually run as an unpriviledged user) ... "su - postfix -s
/bin/bash" and run the test there... If you are running Postfix, that
is:-).
ISTR there being some debate about similar situations on the list in
the last few weeks/month or so, so you might benefit from searching
the list a bit (gmane is very good for this).
