Hello,
There have been a bug within the SpamAssassin ruleset discovered that will mark messages sent in the year 2010 and beyond with a higher spam score than expected. This bug can result in legitimate mail being flagged as spam nowdays.
To rectify this issue, please update SpamAssassin ruleset by executing the following commands as root:
cPanel users:
/scripts/autorepair spamd_y2010_fix
Linux users with LPCP, Plesk or without control panel:
sa-update -D
/etc/init.d/spamassasin restart
or if the last line fails
/etc/init.d/spamd restart
To ensure the update is applied please run:
find /var/lib/spamassassin/ -name 72_active.cf -exec grep FH_DATE_PAST_20XX {} \;
The important line is:
header FH_DATE_PAST_20XX Date =~ /20[2-9][0-9]/ [if-unset: 2006]
If it differs (i.e says "20[1-9]" and not "20[2-9]"), you can modify that line manually in your favorite editor and then restart SpamAssassin using the second command from the fix for non-cPanel. To locate the path to the file use this command:
find /var/lib/spamassassin/ -name 72_active.cf
