Pushed the severity up since this is causing false positives at a very high rate.

[Comment 2 David Abbott (RETIRED) 2010-01-01 21:17:09 UTC]

A new update has been added;
5.2.3.updates.spamassassin.org => 895063

sa-update --checkonly  -D
sa-update -D

If all goes well;
/etc/init.d/spamd restart

Guess there's nothing we can do on this now - or would you prefer having a quickly bump to stable spamassassin with a fix for that? Might be reasonable as probably not that many people out there are using sa-update.

Make a quick patch against our current stable which patches the rule that is installed, and have that made stable as soon as possible.  We want it to be usable out of the box :)

Stable on alpha.

3.2.5 is nearly two years old and 3.2.1 has serious bugs, and 3.3.0 is days away from release.

Having the stable release of an important and perishable tool like SpamAssassin be a version that is more than two years old is a big problem for someone who wants to build a mailserver using Gentoo. 3.2.1 will perform poorly these days.

Tobias, what is keeping 3.2.5 from being marked stable?
