SA, perl 5.8.7 and rules
What would cause SA (sa-spamd) to core (perl) when there are rules in
mail/spamassassin (recently downloaded from rulesemporium)?
If however, I leave the above dir empty, Both Amavis and SA startup
without issues.
Any ideas would be helpfull.
Some specs:
FreeBSD 6.0
Perl:
Version - 5.8.7
SA:
Version - 3.1.0
Port Version - 4
Amavisd-new:
Version - 2.3.3
Port Version - 1
PortEpoch - 1
Ruleset: Current as of yesterday (12/18/05)
70_sare_adult.cf 70_sare_highrisk.cf
70_sare_unsub.cf 70_sare_bayes_poison_nxm.cf
70_sare_html0.cf 70_sare_uri0.cf
70_sare_evilnum0.cf 70_sare_obfu.cf
70_sare_whitelist.cf local.cf.sample
70_sare_evilnum1.cf 70_sare_oem.cf
72_sare_bml_post25x.cf sa-blacklist.current.bigevil.cf
70_sare_genlsubj0.cf 70_sare_random.cf

you indicated you're using
70_sare_adult.cf 70_sare_highrisk.cf
70_sare_unsub.cf 70_sare_bayes_poison_nxm.cf
70_sare_html0.cf 70_sare_uri0.cf
70_sare_evilnum0.cf 70_sare_obfu.cf
70_sare_whitelist.cf local.cf.sample
70_sare_evilnum1.cf 70_sare_oem.cf
72_sare_bml_post25x.cf sa-blacklist.current.bigevil.cf
70_sare_genlsubj0.cf 70_sare_random.cf
72_sare_redirect_post3.0.0.cf 70_sare_header0.cf
70_sare_specific.cf 99_sare_fraud_post25x.cf
70_sare_header1.cf 70_sare_spoof.cf
bogus-virus-warnings.cf
In other words, you're using the SAFEST and most conservative subsets
of the html, evilnum, genlsubj, and uri rules files, the two safest of
the header rules files, and yet you're using 70_sare_highrisk.cf? To
me (author or maintainer of most of these specific files), that does
not make sense. If you're willing to be risky enough to use
highrisk.cf (which even I don't do on my production system), then you
should use all of the *1.cf and *3.cf files as well (I do use those,
even though I don't use highrisk.cf).

I see what it was. There was one ruleset that seemed to break things. I
made note of it - and all is good.
Sorry for the newbie-ness

Well, because you use up too much memory? You use rulesets, you *should*
not use at all (f.i. bigevil). First determine which rules you really
need, second put only one of them in and see if it still crashes. Third,
you may want to use local.cf customization.
