SpamAssassin 2010 Bug

Posted by Soulskill on from the who-could-have-known-when-2010-would-happen dept.

SEWilco writes "You might want to check your spam folder, as SpamAssassin has a rule which is tending to mark email sent in 2010 as spam. There is some discussion in a bug report.

    Thanks for the heads-up. There was a very important e-mail from the Internet Lottery people telling me my e-mail address had been picked as the winner of the EUR 20,000 prize. All I have to do is send them $200 by Western Union to cover the processing fees. And to think I almost missed it!

    It's terrible that SpamAssassin flags such important messages as spam.
