[({Spam?})] FH_DATE_PAST_20XX 3.38

[dcurtis at sbschools.net]

See current post, I now have the rules being obeyed. Obviously I could
increase my spam threshold to a higher number and this would have fixed
the issue, but I run all my mailscanners this low and have prevent many
spams due to the low score and for 5 years now had no issue with such a
low threshold. 

I still have no idea why (with the same file ownership) that creating a
link to the spam.assassin.prefs.conf file as user_prefs in
/var/spool/postfix/.spamassassin/ folder works when the same link in
/etc/mail/spamassassin folder does not.

I believe that, but I think you are interpreting something on your
system 
or in this thread the wrong way and thus don't see the probably very 
obvious problem. Not being able to set custom scores is a serious
problem. 
I just realize that you use a spam threshold of 3.75. This alone is 
indicative for me that some things on your system must be misconfigured.

This threshold is the main reason why this single rule is creating
trouble 
for you. There's also no point in adding all of this information to your

outgoing mail, although the chance of sensitive information being
revealed 
that way is slim.
If you like me to have a look at your system you can drop me a PM. I
will 
charge a nominal fee for this on success as I think I shouldn't do
others 
work for free.
