Problem with Spam Assassin (POP3 SPAM CHECK) 'Y2k10-bug'

Hey every1,

does any of you also have problems with almost all mails being checked as SPAM?

I read somewhere that there was (is?) a problem with spam assassin, they would note e-mails send in 2010 or later as "far in the future" and therefore give it extra points.

https://issues.apache.org/SpamAssassin/show_bug.cgi?id=5852

How can i fix this?

thx!

found the solution:

edit file 72_active.cf located at
/usr/share/spamassassin

from:

##{ FH_DATE_PAST_20XX
header   FH_DATE_PAST_20XX      Date =~ /20[1-9][0-9]/ [if-unset: 2006]
describe FH_DATE_PAST_20XX      The date is grossly in the future.
##} FH_DATE_PAST_20XX

to:

##{ FH_DATE_PAST_20XX
header   FH_DATE_PAST_20XX      Date =~ /20[2-9][0-9]/ [if-unset: 2006]
describe FH_DATE_PAST_20XX      The date is grossly in the future.
##} FH_DATE_PAST_20XX

this will mark all emails send after 2019 as "grossly in the future".

or so

Code:

sa-update -D
rm /usr/share/spamassassin/*
cp -r /var/lib/spamassassin/3.002005/updates_spamassassin_org/*

This fix worked for me. I ran the commands schnoerkel suggested and rebooted the firewall.

Thanks.
