SA having problems?
Posted: Tue May 21, 2024 9:12 am
Yesterday (Monday 20th), in the afternoon, I got lots of junk email that got by Spam-Assassin. I didn't save any of it, but I was just wondering if there was some kind of outage there.
So, I haven't touched SA scores in literally years, so I'm thinking somebody, or some thing, maybe an update to SA, adjusted the scores in a small but important way. Since my account is an email-only account, email is pretty important to me. It worked fine for years, until suddenly it didn't, and I didn't do anything to it. I've whitelisted and blacklisted plenty of things (but none recently) without incident.jordan.m wrote: ↑Tue May 28, 2024 10:07 am Hello! I am not seeing any reports of an outage or other issues during that time. It is possible those spam messages used a similar method to bypass SpamAssassin, which could be a sign that you need to tighten the spam filter. If another influx of spam arrives, I recommend lowering your "required hits" by visiting https://members.sonic.net/email/spam/spamassassin/. Please note that lowering your required hits can falsely flag legitimate messages. It is important to check your graymail after making changes so you can welcome list any needed addresses.
