I don't know if it's related, but I've been receiving several mails from ruby-talk-admin titled "Fml status report (ruby-talk ML)" and telling me that SpamAssassin has rejected some of my messages to the list. However, these are all old messages which were accepted at the time are and in the archive ([ruby-talk:78044], [ruby-talk:78073], [ruby-talk:78453]). Could SpamAssassin be blocking messages from the newsgroup? Here is what it finds suspicious about my messages: SPAM: -------------------- Start SpamAssassin results ---------------------- SPAM: This mail is probably spam. The original message has been altered SPAM: so you can recognise or block similar unwanted mail in future. SPAM: See http://spamassassin.org/tag/ for more details. SPAM: SPAM: Content analysis details: (5 hits, 5 required) SPAM: Hit! (0.5 points) Possibly-forged 'Received:' header found SPAM: Hit! (2.5 points) Date: is in the future or unparseable SPAM: Hit! (2.0 points) Received via a relay in relays.osirusoft.com SPAM: [RBL check: found 210.136.87.216.relays.osirusoft.com.] SPAM: SPAM: -------------------- End of SpamAssassin results --------------------- Could it be that the machine running SpamAssassin has an invalid date in the past, and hence re-processes old messages and rejects all the new ones partly because it considers they come from its future? -- Pierre-Charles David (pcdavid emn fr) Computer Science PhD Student, �cole des Mines de Nantes, France Homepage: http://pcdavid.net/
