Problems with URI DNS tests in spamd?
G'day.
Has anyone else noticed problems with the DNS-based URI tests in
SpamAssassin 3.0.[01]? Specifically, running on Solaris 9, Perl 5.8.5,
and SpamAssassin 3.0.0 and .1 that the "urirhssub" and "uridnsbl" tests
are not even being called from spamd. However, they work fine from a
direct spamassassin invocation.
To wit, here's the test results from a spam that contained a link
to a well known spamvertised "destination". First the spamassassin
run from the command line:
bash-2.05$ cat foo93 | /usr/local/bin/spamassassin
X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 3.0.1-crf_3.0.1_20041031_00 (2004-10-22)
on t1
X-Spam-Level:
X-Spam-Status: Yes, score=9.6 required=4.5 tests=FORGED_RCVD_HELO,URIBL_CACM,
URIBL_SBL,URIBL_WS_SURBL autolearn=disabled
version=3.0.0-rc2-crf_3.0.0_rc2_20040807_00
That's just fine, and is as it should be -- flagged as spam. Now
here's the run through spamc/spamd:
bash-2.05$ cat foo93 | /usr/local/bin/spamc -d spamassassin
X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 3.0.1-crf_3.0.1_20041031_00 (2004-10-22)
on t1
X-Spam-Level:
X-Spam-Status: No, score=0.1 required=4.5 tests=FORGED_RCVD_HELO
autolearn=disabled version=3.0.1-crf_3.0.1_20041031_00
To see if the tests were even being tried, I sniffed on port 53
on my DNS server and never saw requests for the various URIBLs.
Ideas?
