MailScanner totally missing SA rules...

[Steve Campbell]

Daniel,

Setting the MailScanner.conf set as below resolved all of my problems:

SpamAssassin Local Rules Dir = /etc/mail/spamassassin

I am running an old 4.52.2 version that is completely functioning properly.

Subject: MailScanner totally missing SA rules...


Hello all,



I, too, am experiencing a similar problem to another member of the list; 
specifically, MailScanner seems to be totally missing (or, at best, randomly 
using) SpamAssassin rules.  This is a fairly serious issue, since the amount 
of un-tagged spam now getting through the filters is becoming problematic.



For example, consider the following email message:



Subject: test

From: wahtever <hihi at gmail.com>

To: daniel.maher at ubisoft.com

Content-Type: text/plain

Message-Id: <1154034241.23136.34.camel at localhost.localdomain>

Mime-Version: 1.0

X-Mailer: Evolution 2.6.1

Date: Fri, 15 Sep 2006 14:54:44 -0400

X-Evolution-Format: text/plain

Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit



PHxxARMACY V1xxAGRA C1xxALIS lose weight now, melt the extra pounds.





The exact message, passed through MailScanner via SMTP (Postfix):



Nov 14 15:16:15 ad-postfix MailScanner[14220]: Message 2EAFC1A65DB.C9579 
from 127.0.0.1 (hihi at gmail.com) to ubisoft.com is not spam, SpamAssassin 
(score=1.572, required 6, DATE_IN_PAST_96_XX 1.57)





Now passed through SpamAssassin via the commandline, as the MTA user:



Content analysis details:   (12.1 points, 5.0 required)



 pts rule name              description

---- ---------------------- --------------------------------------------------

-0.0 NO_RELAYS              Informational: message was not relayed via SMTP

 6.0 UBI_PHARMSTRNG01       BODY: Pharmacy string (01)

 0.1 UBI_FINDME             BODY: test string

 3.0 UBI_LOSEFAT10          BODY: Weightloss hits (string) (10)

 2.0 UBI_PHARMPILL02        Pharmacy hits (02)

 1.0 UBI_LOSEFAT01          Weightloss hits (01)

-0.0 NO_RECEIVED            Informational: message has no Received headers





As you can see, the triggered rules are completely different, which is 
worrisome.  I have tested numerous examples where MS would trigger some SA 
rules, but not others (very bizarre).  I recently upgraded to MailScanner 
4.57.3 and SpamAssassin 3.1.7 .  Before the upgrade, everything worked 
perfectly.  I didn't change any config files, with the exception of the 
following line in mailscanner.conf :



Max SpamAssassin Size = 80000 trackback





Does anybody have any ideas or insight?  Thanks!
