From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4.3) Gecko/20050104 Red Hat/1.4.3-3.0.7 Description of problem: User sends an actual email from M$ Outlook 2003 (X-Mailer: Microsoft Office Outlook, Build 11.0.5510) and spamassassin thinks that it's a "Forged mail pretending to be from MS Outlook". Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): spamassassin-2.55-3.4 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Send email from M$ Outlook 2003 to a completely updated RHEL3 system with spamassassin installed, configured, and enabled. 2. 3. Actual Results: X-Spam-Report: This mail is probably spam. The original message has been attached ... FORGED_MUA_OUTLOOK (3.5 points) Forged mail pretending to be from MS Outlook Expected Results: Spamassassin to recognize email from Microsoft Outlook 2003 without flagging it as "forged" and scoring it 3.5 points. Additional info:
Ok, RHEL3 Update 5 was released, late, and still doesn't have spamassassin 3.xx!! I'm still having this problem with this stale version, as well as the problem in bug #144751. Additionally, the URIBL_SBL feature is a feature that is sorely missing from 2.55-3.4! I'm going to go out on a limb, here, and recommend that you either update spamassassin to 3.xx in RHEL3, or remove it completely from the distribution in Update 6. It does NOBODY any good to keep a stale/broken package around in an Enterprise distribution.
Closing WONTFIX, RHEL3 spamassassin will not be updated.
