SVN rules to sa-update?
We have noted that there was an update into SVN for 20_meta_tests.cf that
we'd like to amend on our mail servers
https://bz.apache.org/SpamAssassin/show_bug.cgi?id=7411
namely changing:
header __MOZILLA_MUA X-Mailer =~ /\bMozilla\b/to
header __MOZILLA_MUA User-Agent =~ /^mozilla\b/i
Just wondering what the process is for moving the rules from SVN into
sa-updates?
As a possible workaround, can the entire meta rule be copied into local.cf?
Will this override the one in 20_meta_test.cf?
Thanks for your time
George

I use "zzz-local.cf" here.

Stock rules can be "overwritten" by later rule sets - either formal
rules channels, or from files in the local configuration directory (any
.cf file in the same place as local.cf).
For the former it's a bit unfortunate that the official stock rules
channel starts with "u", since the rules channels are loaded in
alphabetical order, but I expect not many people have set up their own
full-on rules channel for distributing their local rule sets. I did so
a number of years back when I was distributing local rules across four
filter platforms with different SA calling setups.

Bummer.

I think it will, the most recently-read definition should win.

That would break any dependent rules.

The masscheck/ruleqa is the process for that and it's currently on hold
because the system is producing wrong 72_scores.cf.
Despite a lot of hours by my firm, myself and Dave Jones on the SA
SysAdmins team plus ASF Infra trying to get the old boxes working
(ticket updated this morning that the whole box is dead :-( ), the issue
remains. It is very sinister.
So no good news at all and if you have followed recent news, this is a
downturn with the zones2 box dying on life support.

I don't remember if it will override it. Just rename it in your
local.cf and score the original at 0 to disable it.
