SpamAssassin 3.0.4 Released
SpamAssassin 3.0.4 is released! SpamAssassin 3.0.4 contains several
important bug fixes and is highly recommended for use over previous
versions.
SpamAssassin is a mail filter which uses advanced statistical and
heuristic tests to identify spam (also known as unsolicited bulk email).
Highlights of the release
-------------------------
- Certain invalid "Content-Type" headers would cause SpamAssassin to
incorrectly process parts of the message.
- Certain long message headers could cause slowness when parsing the message.
- Added in SURBL JP list.
- URI anti-obfuscation updates.
- Additional bug fixes.
Downloading
-----------
You can pick up the release here: http://spamassassin.apache.org/
You can also find it on your favorite CPAN mirror (you may need to
wait a day or so for the release to propagate).

The release files also have a .asc accompanying them. The file serves
as an external GPG signature for the given release file. The signing
key is available via the wwwkeys.pgp.net key server, as well as
http://spamassassin.apache.org/released/GPG-SIGNING-KEY
The key information is:
pub 1024D/265FA05B 2003-06-09 SpamAssassin Signing Key <re...@spamassassin.org>
Key fingerprint =3D 26C9 00A4 6DD4 0CD5 AD24 F6D7 DEE0 1987 265F A05B
Note: GnuPG 1.4.0, and possibly 1.3.x versions, seem to have problems
verifying certain signature files, including the type as used for
SpamAssassin releases. If you are running an affected version, please
verify the code using both MD5 and SHA1 sum values instead.

Of course, after I respond, I find the links you're talking about. ;)
I just updated them on the website, the new version should be publically
available in the near future after the files sync out.

Hi,
Yes, under source/ is the correct path. Is there something pointing at the
parent that needs to be updated? (I didn't see anything when I looked
yesterday.)

Sorry I didn't read the comments in the bottom there. I have now.
However, I think it's quite odd that this isn't considered a crucial bug:
Some stats from my system:
Number of messages tagged as spam while having the ALL_TRUTED score:
# zcat mail-20050606.gz | awk '{if ($7~/Y/ && $10~/ALL_TRUSTED/) print
$0}' | wc -l
77
# zcat mail-20050605.gz | awk '{if ($7~/Y/ && $10~/ALL_TRUSTED/) print
$0}' | wc -l
80
# zcat mail-20050604.gz | awk '{if ($7~/Y/ && $10~/ALL_TRUSTED/) print
$0}' | wc -l
58
# zcat mail-20050603.gz | awk '{if ($7~/Y/ && $10~/ALL_TRUSTED/) print
$0}' | wc -l
69
Threshold is mostly set to 5.
In addition: the messages that was not clasified as spam because of
ALL_TRUSTED pulled the message below the threshold, therein the worst
cases where false positive spam messages scored < 0.1 (score of < 3.4
before ALL_TRUSTED) and SA autolearned them as ham.
4th and 5th of May I ran spamd the whole day with -D:
Number of unparseable headers:
# zgrep 'received-header: unknown format' mail-20050505.gz | wc -l
1176
# zgrep 'received-header: unknown format' mail-20050504.gz | wc -l
885
#
Most of these messages are likely to get misfired at by ALL_TRUSTED
since the unparseable header often is the only one that is not.
The system scans about 40k-45k messages per day.
I have found out what's "wrong" with most of the headers that doesn't
get recognized by SA and will file a bug-report about it though.
PS: This hasn't anything to do with the trustpath FAQ article.

included. Why? Am I the only one who thinks this is a
_very_serious bug?
