As many of you who run Spamassassin already know, there is a bug (see
https://bugs.launchpad.net/hardy-backports/+bug/502071 for details) in
Spamassassin where all mails sent in 2010 are tripping the FH_DATE_PAST_20XX
rule.
For some sites, this may cause all mail that is not explicitly whitelisted to
get marked spam (it's a relatively heavily scored rule). This is already fixed
in hardy-backports and lucid. It does not affect the packaged versions of
spamassassin in dapper or dapper-backports.
There are proposed updates for hardy, intrepid, jaunty, and karmic that need
testing. They are all built or building now and should be available in the *-
proposed repository. Please test and comment in the bug so we can get these
out to *-updates as soon as possible. See the bug for details.

Stable Release Update for Spamassassin
Scott:
Thanks for the notice. I hadn't heard this anywhere else.
I added the following to my spamassassin prefs as a workaround:
score FH_DATE_PAST_20XX 0
When I get a bit more time, I'll test -proposed. Do you know when this
might get into -updates?

It's in -updates for Hardy and Karmic now (also fixed in Lucid). Intrepid
and Jaunty need testing yet (it'd be really nice if someone has a spare VM
laying around if they could verify these so we can close the books on this
for another decade).

Description about the issue and fixes in the SA main page:
http://spamassassin.apache.org/
For those uses who can't upgrade their SA version you can always run
sa-update (if you aren't) and download the fixed rule.

It is. The fix is published in -updates for Hardy, Intrepid, Jaunty, and
Karmic (Dapper was not affected). The backport in hardy-backports is also
fixed. It's done all the way around.
Thank you to those who helped with fixing and testing. Getting fixed
uploaded, tested, and released for 5 releases (I fixed Lucid too) in two
days is pretty good I think.
