What are these errors: DNS_FROM_OPENWHOIS RBL & FH_DATE_PAST_20XX??

[aquero <ar...@gmail.com>]

 Hi,
    I have installed spam-assassin in my mail server and when i sent mails
from my gmail accout i always get these errors. 	
* 2.4 DNS_FROM_OPENWHOIS RBL: Envelope sender listed in bl.open-whois.org.
* 3.4 FH_DATE_PAST_20XX The date is grossly in the future.
Because of these errors my spam score is always greater than 5 and i think a
spam score greater than 5 is not good. I googled about these errors , and I
read somewhere that if I update spam-assassin, these errors would go. Is it
true? Are these errors critical? if not, how can i turn these checks off?

I use PGP. If there is an incompatibility problem with your mail
client, please contact me.

install newer, if not the newest verison of spamassassin.
run sa-update (and reload spamd, if you use it) afterwards.

Thanks for your reply. I was planning to label a mail as spam if it exceeds
a rating of 5. Since all my mails from gmail had a rating above 5 , I was
bit confused.

Yes. They have been fixed.

Depends - what does your mail server do to mails with spam score > 5 ?

> if not,  how can i turn these checks off?

Set score to 0 to disable the rules.
