uri(bl) checks don't detect URLs with capitalized Http
http://bugzilla.spamassassin.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4111#c12
how would you apply the (apparently existing) fix to an existing SA 3.*
installation where SA comes from a distributor? can the affected perl module
be installed via a CPAN shell for example?

at home, i am running debian linux with SpamAssassin version 3.0.2 running on
Perl version 5.8.4, or as debian puts it:
Installed: 3.0.2-1
Candidate: 3.0.2-1
== nothing newer available in debian.
at work, we do use a vendors' pre-installed SpamAssassin version 3.0.2 running
on Perl version 5.8.5 and Fedora Core release 3 (Heidelberg), rpms built by
the vendor:
spamassassin-3.0.2-1
spamassassin-tools-3.0.2-1
i will have to find out exactly which modifications have been applied to which
source by the vendor. anyway, further modifications are possible both from
the vendor or us, the owners. learning at home how to apply the fix at all
will make it easier to be able to judge / request / apply necessary changes
at work.

Right. But it's irrelevent IMHO. Most vendors don't just use the
distributed releases. They'll make changes and what not. Even if they
don't, you don't want to go changing a vendor's release on your own
since you'll lose support, etc.

Perhaps, perhaps not. RedHat, for instance, regularly takes features from new
open source code and backports it into older releases that they support. The
main example is their kernel RPMs where they were taking 2.6 features and
backporting to the 2.4 kernel for their RHEL distros.
I would guess vendors who embed/distribute SpamAssassin would do much
the same thing. They're likely running their own modified versions
of the code (within whatever appropriate license terms are in place),
and then they merge in changes from either trunk or official OSS releases.
Since trunk and such are openly available, there's no reason why the vendor
couldn't have a fix already.
In this case, however, it's not clear if he's running something like a
Fedora RPM version of SpamAssassin where he could just go ahead and update
at will, or if it's something like Barracuda/etc, where you really can't
just go changing things on your own. The flip side of that of course is
that you'll have vendor support who you can call and make requests of. ;)

Theo, from reading the bugzilla report the fix in question isn't even
in a released version of SA (yet) and only in SVN head.. Dan said it was
fixed in head on /2005-01-28, and there have been no releases since /
2004-12-16 (3.0.2). Correct?
Given that this fix is only in the SVN tree, I doubt the vendor has a fix.
In fact, given that there's no patch for this issue, just a fix in
checked into SVN head, I doubt that much of anyone has this fix, except
the devels and the most adventuresome users who might grab the whole SVN
head version.

If you're running a version of SA that comes from a vendor, you'd have to ask
the vendor to provide a new version.
