How to fix the spamassassin bug with the FH_DATE_PAST_20XX rule

Monday, January 4, 2010 posted by Till

Since january 1 2010, spamassassin is falsely marking non spam emails as spam due to an error in the regular expression of the FH_DATE_PAST_20XX rule.

Description of the bug:

https://secure.grepular.com/blog/index.php/2010/01/01/spamassassin-2010-bug/

To fix this, run the following command on the shell as root user:

sa-update

If you use the software ISPConfig 2 on your server, run this command:

/home/admispconfig/ispconfig/tools/spamassassin/usr/bin/sa-update

  The perl package “Archive::Tar” is missing in your installation. Install either the perl Archive::Tar package from your linux distribution or install it from cpan with:
  perl -MCPAN -e ‘install Archive::Tar’
