2010-01-01: Y2K10 Rule Bug - Update Your Rules Now!
Versions of the FH_DATE_PAST_20XX rule released with versions of Apache SpamAssassin 3.2.0 thru 3.2.5 will trigger on most mail with a Date header that includes the year 2010 or later. The rule will add a score of up to 3.6 towards the spam classification of all email. You should take corrective action immediately; there are two easy ways to correct the problem:
If your system is configured to use sa-updaterun sa-update now. An update is available that will correct the rule. No further action is necessary (other than restarting spamd or any service that uses SpamAssassin directly).
Add "score FH_DATE_PAST_20XX 0" without the quotes to the end of your local.cf file to disable the rule.
If you require help updating your rules to correct this issue you are encouraged to ask for assistance on the Apache SpamAssassin Users' list. Users' mailing list info is here.
On behalf of the Apache SpamAssassin project I apologize for this error and the grief it may have caused you.

<{set title="Welcome to SpamAssassin"}>
Welcome
Welcome to the home page for the open-source Apache SpamAssassin Project.
Apache SpamAssassin is the #1 Open Source anti-spam platform giving system administrators a filter to classify email and block "spam" (unsolicited bulk email).
It uses a robust scoring framework and plug-ins to integrate a wide range of advanced heuristic and statistical analysis tests on email headers and body text including text analysis, Bayesian filtering, DNS blocklists, and collaborative filtering databases.
Apache SpamAssassin is a project of the Apache Software Foundation (ASF).
**Wide-spectrum**: SpamAssassin uses a wide variety of local and network tests to identify spam signatures. This makes it harder for spammers to identify one aspect which they can craft their messages to work around.
**Free software**: it is distributed under the same terms and conditions as other popular open-source software packages such as the Apache web server.
**Easy to extend**: Anti-spam tests and configuration are stored in plain text, making it easy to configure and add new rules.
**Flexible**: SpamAssassin encapsulates its logic in a well-designed, abstract API so it can be integrated anywhere in the email stream. The Mail::SpamAssassin classes can be used on a wide variety of email systems including **procmail**, **sendmail**, **Postfix**, **qmail**, and many others.
**Easy Configuration**: SpamAssassin requires very little configuration; you do not need to continually update it with details of your mail accounts, mailing list memberships, etc. Once classified, site and user-specific policies can then be applied against spam. Policies can be applied on both mail servers and later using the user's own mail user-agent application.

<{set title="FAQ has moved"}>
${title}
---------
If you've received a mail from SpamAssassin, and you want to know how and why,
please visit this page.
**The key point is that the most probable situation is that your ISP has set
this up on your mail account, and to switch it off, you MUST contact their
Tech Support desk. Nobody in the SpamAssassin development team can do this,
ONLY your ISP can.**
Otherwise, please visit the new SpamAssassin FAQ Wiki here.

Upgrading From an Older Version?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If so, please take the time to read Upgrade
Notes while you're downloading.
Product Information
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The **core distribution** consists of command line tools to
perform filtering along with Mail::SpamAssassin, a set of perl
modules which allow SpamAssassin to be used in a wide
range of products.
System Administrators
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Please create a local copy of the __report_template__ text in a file named
something like ##/etc/mail/spamassassin/10_local_report.cf##, and modify it
to provide your tech support desk's contact information, instead of the
default. Otherwise your users will be confused, and some may ultimately
contact the SpamAssassin development team, which is not appreciated; we
cannot help them with whitelisting/blacklisting/customisation of settings at
your site, after all. The default report text can be found in the file
##rules/10_misc.cf##.
Mirrors
~~~~~~~
[if-any logo][end]
The currently selected mirror is [preferred]. If you encounter a
problem with this mirror, please select another mirror. If all mirrors are
failing, there are backup mirrors (at the end of the mirrors list) that
should be available.
You may also consult the complete

**PLEASE READ THIS PAGE IN FULL.**
You may have received a mail modified by something called 'SpamAssassin'.
Apache SpamAssassin is a software to help block spam, also known as unsolicited commercial e-mail.
If you need help with this software, nobody in the SpamAssassin development team can do this, ONLY your ISP, system administrator or web hosting company can help.
Why Are You Spamming Me?
========================
We are not. SpamAssassin is a software to help block spam. Please see above.
Why was the e-mail altered?
===========================
SpamAssassin is a software to help block spam which your ISP, system administrator or web hosting company configured to help you.
With SpamAssassin, each incoming e-mail is scanned for signs that it may be ''spam'', and if it is determined that it's likely to be spam, it is altered to clearly reflect this to help reduce your work.
If you have concerns how SpamAssassin is implemented, nobody in the SpamAssassin development team can do this, ONLY your ISP, system administrator or web hosting company can help.
Who are you and what are you doing to my mail?
==============================================
We are the writers of the Apache SpamAssassin software.
Although we wrote the program, it is your system administrator who chose to use it, and we have __absolutely no control__ over the installation.
Again, nobody in the SpamAssassin development team can do this, ONLY your ISP, system administrator or web hosting company can help.
But The Message Was Not Spam!
=============================
Apache SpamAssassin can have a ''false positive'', where mail is incorrectly classified as spam.
Typically, unless you are a programmer, your only recourse is to contact your ISP, system administrator or web hosting company for help.
How Can I Turn It Off?
======================
You have two options:
Option 1 is to ask your system administrator to ''increase the SpamAssassin threshold'' for you.
Option 2, if you just want all your mail, unfiltered, ask your systems administrator to ''add your mail address to the whitelist_to list''.
What is SpamAssassin, After All That?
=====================================
SpamAssassin is a mail filter which scans that classifies e-mail to help tag/block unwanted email. More information here.

<{set title="The GTUBE"}>
${title}
---------
This is the GTUBE -- the **Generic Test for Unsolicited Bulk Email**.
If your spam filter supports it, the GTUBE provides a test by which you can
verify that the filter is installed correctly and is detecting incoming spam,
in a similar fashion to
the EICAR anti-virus test file.
Spam filter developers should add a rule, where possible, to recognise
the following 68-byte string in the message body, and trigger on it:
<{perl
# create a ${all_txt_files} variable containing the list
# of all the text files we just loaded, with .txt extension.
$_ = "";
foreach my $pg (content_matching ("*.txt")) { $_ .= "$pg "; }
$_;
}>
<{perl
require './weblist.pl';
sub get_file_listing {
my $dir = shift;
print "
";
use Cwd;
my $old = getcwd;
chdir $dir;
weblist ("/".$dir."/");
chdir $old;
