FUZZOCR
My apologies as this is probably not the properly place for this but I can not find a functioning web page or list of FuzzOCR . Even the installation instructions I found were old in https://www.maiamailguard.comand had some issues in format.
The problem is that is from my installation I am getting the following errors
Sep 14 13:13:49 tuna amavis[50336]: (50336-01)!)SA error: FuzzyOcr: /usr/local/bin/jpegtopnm: Returned [2048], skipping...
Sep 14 13:13:49 tuna amavis[50336]: (50336-01) _WARN: rules: failed to run FUZZY_OCR test, skipping:\n\t(Insecure dependency in open while running with -T switch at /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.16/Mail/SpamAssassin/Plugin/FuzzyOcr/Logging.pm line 34.\n)
when I run spam assassin -D --lint
I get what OI believe to be confirmation that jpegtopnm is loading
Sep 14 13:27:19.948 [50639] dbg: FuzzyOcr: Using jpegtopnm => /usr/local/bin/jpegtopnm
Can anyone give me an insight to the error ? It appears to be bombing out of test of jpegs ad stashing the image in a temp directory of /var/amavis which loads up the file system

Yes I was seeing them too and thought this was an approach

from the command line it worked fine and converted…
still trying some more searches to find a current POC
I guess I could disable the jpeg portion in the thought that it would be a different graphic format
Thanks for taking a look

Don't know if my earlier response worked

This is probably the closest you're going to get.
FuzzyOCR has been inactive for a while since the initial wave of
text-in-image spams tapered off. I've been seeing text-in-image spams more
frequently lately so I think we should dust off FuzzyOCR.
Search the mailing list archives for "fuzzyOCR" (not "FuzzOCR") and you
should probably be able to find contact information for the primary
developer, or clues for how to fix your jpegtopmn install.

That may be logging what it's configured to do rather than what's been
found to work.

Does jpegtopnm actually exist at that location on your system? If you run
it with a jpeg file (perhaps one of the lingering work files from
fuzzyocr) does it error out, and give an explanation why?
