[cPanel-News] URGENT: Spam Assassin Ruleset Bug

[Aaron Phillips]

Greetings:

The Quality Assurance team discovered a bug within the SpamAssassin  
ruleset that will mark messages sent in the year 2010 (that's today)  
and beyond with a higher spam score than expected.     This bug can  
result in legitimate mail being flagged as spam.

The cPanel Development team has issued a hot fix that will address  
this issue and will automatically update the SpamAssassin ruleset to  
resolve this issue.   If you have automatic cPanel updates enabled, no  
further action is required.

If you do not have automatic cPanel updates enabled, you can manually  
update  the SpamAssassin ruleset by executing the following commands  
in a root shell:

/scripts/autorepair spamd_y2010_fix

For a more detailed explanation and information on resolving this  
problem on a non-cPanel environment, please review:

As always, the entire cPanel team has pulled together to provide a  
rapid response to this issue as we realize proper email delivery is  
mission critical.
