Training SPAM Assassin and keeping it upto date automatically
Hi There,
I am getting a HUGE amount of Spam which basically states that a Friend,
Collegue, Worshipper, Fan, etc has sent me an eCard...
This is happening to a number of my clients as well...
I want to beef up SpamAssassin and get it up to date so that it can tag
incoming spam better... currently 80% of my emails that are SPAM are getting
through SpamAssassin.
I would also like to keep SpamAssassin up to date automatically. I have
heard that there is some script that I can CRON to keep SpamAssassin up to
date and trained from some external source?
Thanks in advance for your assistance.
Chris

You need to look at sa-update and sa-learn. Make sure you're using a
recent version of SpamAssassin.

Maybe you got garbage in your download. It caused no --lint errors here.
cd /etc/mail/spamassassin
rm postcards.cf
wget http://www.impsec.org/~jhardin/antispam/postcards.cf
spamassassin --lint

Hi John,
Thank you for the CF.
The problem is that once I have dropped it into /etc/mail/spamassassin
and when I run spamassassin --lint
It drops quite a few errors.
And the eCard Spam keeps coming through :(
Am I doing something wrong?
Thanks in advance,
Chris

As far as the greeting card spams are concerned, here's a specific
rule that appears to work well:

Liberals love sex ed because it teaches kids to be safe around their
sex organs. Conservatives love gun education because it teaches kids
to be safe around guns. However, both believe that the other's
education goals lead to dangers too terrible to contemplate.
