Installed FuzzyOCR - What am I missing?
Installed FuzzyOCR on my os/x box per
http://fuzzyocr.own-hero.net/wiki/Installation-3.x .
Based on my reading of it, I don't need to do anything other than put
the FuzzyOcr.cf file in my spamassassin directory (which on my
install is /private/etc/opt/mail/spamassassin/ ) .
So I have FuzzyOcr.cf, FuzzyOcr.pm (chmod +x'd) .
The relevent (AFAICT) parts of .cf are:
loadplugin FuzzyOcr FuzzyOcr.pm
body FUZZY_OCR eval:fuzzyocr_check()
describe FUZZY_OCR Mail contains an image with common spam text inside
body FUZZY_OCR_WRONG_CTYPE eval:dummy_check()
describe FUZZY_OCR_WRONG_CTYPE Mail contains an image with wrong
content-type set
body FUZZY_OCR_CORRUPT_IMG eval:dummy_check()
describe FUZZY_OCR_CORRUPT_IMG Mail contains a corrupted image
body FUZZY_OCR_KNOWN_HASH eval:dummy_check()
describe FUZZY_OCR_KNOWN_HASH Mail contains an image with known hash
focr_personal_wordlist ./spamassassin/FuzzyOcr.words
(.words is in the same directory).
I then ran
spamassassin < animated-gif.eml > out
out shows no FuzzyOCR hits.
Am I missing something obvious?
If I'm not providing enough details, please let me know.
Thanks.
Evan

The defaults are already quite high, and don't forget that more points
are added for more words found. I think the default is one point for
every word matched, but requiring that at least two words are found.
Since most of the drug spams have several words, you are usually over 10
points anyway.

Someone might send you a copy of a comic strip about an old guy visiting
the doctor. You might miss out on some poor taste humour.

You -do- understand that the 'fuzzy' part of FuzzyOCR means that it
does inexact matching on the characters that it pulls out of an
image. So for example, a college newsletter that I received which
had a school logo image fired on FuzzyOCR claiming to match "company".
I've also seen it fire on things such as an airline ticket confirmation
notice, a religious newsletter, and a technical bulletin. Just one
word for each, which with the default score wasn't enough to tag
as spam but with a score of 10 a guaranteed FP.

Thanks to everyone especially Decoder, I think I'm up and running.
png is the only one not working.
Any reason NOT to assign 10 points to fuzzy ocr tripped words?
I mean I wouldn't add 10 points just because someone typed the V word
in an e-mail to me, but I can't think of an instance where I'd expect
a GIF message with it in it.
Yes, I run my own mail server, I'm the only user.

Last month there was a discussion thread on this list about that
exact topic. Search either the Apache list archives or the GMANE
archives. For example see:

Ahh. Nothing was being written to the log because of file permissions.

Did you specify a logfile? If not, do so and check for output there :)

Help with sa-stats
Posted by John Tice <li...@johntice.com>.
I am trying to install Dallas Engelken's version of sa-stats and a
rank novice I could use some help...
http://www.rulesemporium.com/programs/sa-stats.txt
I'm on a VPS with cpanel multiple domains. I installed this into the
cgi-bin in my domain (not the primary server domain) and it executes
except that it contains no data. So I moved it to the server to /root/
public_html/cgi-bin/ but it's not found when I point my browser at
it. Permissions 755. I'm guessing it's not in the right place or else
I'd at least get the results page as I do when it's in the mydomain/
cgi-bin location. Where should I put it? Do I need to show it the
path to the logs, and if so where are they located?
Also, is there a different version of this included with
spamassassin, and how to I turn it on or access it?
Thanks-

Didn't think of that.. :)
Ok,
did that.
Only a few lines have Fuzzy:
[554] dbg: config: read file /etc/opt/mail/spamassassin/FuzzyOcr.cf
[554] dbg: plugin: fixed relative path: /etc/opt/mail/spamassassin/FuzzyOcr.pm
[554] dbg: plugin: loading FuzzyOcr from /etc/opt/mail/spamassassin/FuzzyOcr.pm
[554] dbg: plugin: FuzzyOcr=HASH(0x1d0e4a4) implements 'parse_config'
Nothing there looks like a problem?
I put the entire debug session at
http://www.espphotography.com/sadebug.txt
Thanks.

You should try to run spamassassin with -D to see more debug output.
Watch out for FuzzyOcr lines :)

when *i* first ran tests, i'd set:
focr_autodisable_score 10
the score hit "10" too soon ... and fuzzy ocr didn't run/score any hits.
set it 'high', e.g.,
focr_autodisable_score 999
then try again
worked for me.
hth.

Really?
FuzzyOCR requires the following that you have installed the following:
gocr ImageMagick netpbm libungif gifsicle ocrad
(I don't know what libungif would be called in OS X)
perl -MCPAN -e "install String::Approx MLDBM"
| So I have FuzzyOcr.cf, FuzzyOcr.pm (chmod +x'd) .
Not necessary!
| The relevent (AFAICT) parts of .cf are:
Hmm, the FuzzyOCR that you use is from somewhere else. Have you verified
that you have all the components by reading the FuzzyOCR.cf??
Do you have all those binaries it is supposed to call?
