Hello !

I was trying to create a rule. However, it's not working.

File edited: /etc/mail/spamassassin/local.cf

Rule Added:

header LR_SUBJECT_WROTE Subject =~ /wroteb/i
score LR_SUBJECT_WROTE 4.5
describe LR_SUBJECT_WROTE Contem Wrote

I restarted SpamAssassin service and after that I sent an email to my account with the following subject:

Ricardo Wrote



I think it should be filtrated. Still, it managed to reach my mailbox. In the the header I noticed SpamAssassin used the rule but it seems it didn't apply the score:

X-Spam-Status: No, score=3.0 required=4.0 tests=AWL,BAYES_00,LR_SUBJECT_WROTE,
MSGID_FROM_MTA_HEADER autolearn=no version=3.0.6



Any ideas ?

Don't know why that one won't work, but try adding this to the bottom of your local.cf file... it seems to have caught them for me.351 spam messages only to my own personal email box in the last 12 hours. I can't begin to imagine how some others are being beaten into the ground...

Hummmm but given the "subject" of received spam I can't imagine how your rules could help. WHat I would like was to really understand why my rule is not beeing trigged. So I can act accordingly in future situations.

This isn't my area of expertise but shouldnt that be

header LR_SUBJECT_WROTE Subject =~ /bwrote/i

since theres a word break before the word "Wrote" in your test?
