Help Request SPAM Asian characters.

[Dave Helton]

It helps to make a soft link of /etc/MailScanner/spam.assassin.prefs.conf  to /etc/mail/mailscanner.cf
this allows anything outside of MailScanner to see the same prefs when running SA.
I also run sendmail/mimedefang for the MTA and cyrus for the LDA.  Yeah... call me old skool.

Add these to /etc/MailScanner/spam.assassin.prefs.conf

~~~~
ok_locales      en   (you will need to change this for your locale)

score CHARSET_FARAWAY       50
score CHARSET_FARAWAY_BODY  50

~~~~

CHARSET_FARAWAY should score anything outside of your locale above your spam threshold.

Subject: Help Request SPAM Asian characters.

Hello,
I have a MailScanner 4.84.5
I am receiving messages whose body Asian characters appear.
The emails come from:
different domains
different IP
Add to blacklist senders.
It's not enough.

Edit files
spam.asassin.prefs.conf
init.pre

Stating that my language is Spanish, English and Portuguese
The problem was not resolved

I wonder if there is any way to stop emails containing Asian characters somewhere in your body
Thank you very much for your help
