Spam tagged with FH_DATE_PAST_20XX

Do you get more mails with a spam tag since 2010 started? And are you using Spamassassin?

You probably run into the problem with FH_DATE_PAST_20XX. It tags spam from 2010 till 2099 as mail from the future. Well ladies and gentlemen the future has begun apparently :)

This was supposedly fixed in the 3.2 branch but I’ve installed 3.2.5 and update the rules regularly but still a fail…

You can fix this by disabling this rule all together by adding the following to your local.cf file (probably somewhere in /etc/mail/spamassassin/)


score FH_DATE_PAST_20XX 0.0

It may also work (but I am not sure as I’ve not tested it) to change the 72_active.cf from:

header FH_DATE_PAST_20XX Date =~ /20[1-9][0-9]/ [if-unset: 2006]

to:

header FH_DATE_PAST_20XX Date =~ /20[2-9][0-9]/ [if-unset: 2006]

Regexp wise this should start matching from 2020 and further.

Update: Apparently this has been fixed and is being pushed to the mirrors so you can try to run an sa-update to get the new ruleset soon. Please note that you have to restart the spamd process for new rules to be loaded. Only running sa-update is not enough…

Update 2: You can also upgrade to the new version of SpamAssassin
