It looks like Spamassassin is adding 2.0 to 3.5 points to messages because they
refer to a date (that used to be) way into the future.
See: https://issues.apache.org/SpamAssassin/show_bug.cgi?id=6269
You should add to /etc/spamassassin/local.cf:
score FH_DATE_PAST_20XX 0.0
Happy new year.
Just what I was looking for. In my case on CentOS, the file was at /etc/mail/spamassassin/local.cf.
Per the bug report you gave, sa-update might fix it by now as well.
Brian
is sa-update installed by default? If not, how to install it from webmin?
I believe you should already have it… Just type sa-update at the commandline. There are some options that can go with it, but the most basic use would be: sa-update && service spamassassin restart
