SpamAssassin marks email from Gmail as spam

[nightaddix]

Hello,

We're having an issue with one server which is marking all the emails from Gmail as spam. Please check the logs below ( domain name changed for security purposes ) :

root@server [~]# cat /var/log/exim_mainlog |grep 1OhRHA-0001Tr-5z
2010-08-06 11:04:17 1OhRHA-0001Tr-5z H=mail-yx0-f169.google.com [209.85.213.169] Warning: "SpamAssassin as xxx detected message as spam (5.8)"
2010-08-06 11:04:17 1OhRHA-0001Tr-5z <= xyz@gmail.com H=mail-yx0-f169.google.com [209.85.213.169] P=esmtp S=2778 id=AANLkTikw-hRsMzeEMAsFoAH+Dbu4dgSWMpGTj9dvGSB0@mail.gmail.com
2010-08-06 11:04:18 1OhRHA-0001Tr-5z => /dev/null <test@xxx.net> R=central_filter T=**bypassed**
2010-08-06 11:04:18 1OhRHA-0001Tr-5z Completed

What we have done until now :

- checked the filters - there's only one filter set ( $h_X-Spam-Bar: contains "+++++" Discard ) which should be OK
- ran /scripts/upcp --force
- ran /scripts/eximup --force
- ran /scripts/update_sa_rules
- ran /scripts/checkperlmodules

Any ideas ? :-) Thanks

I moved the thread to the Mail section, since it is a more appropriate fit.

Hey,

Thanks for moving the topic. In the meantime, we fixed the issue. For anyone who runs into the issue, just remove the email filter and check the headers. We actually found the issue to be caused by a SpamAssassin bug :

Rules/FH_DATE_PAST_20XX - Spamassassin Wiki

We edited /etc/mail/spamassassin/local.cf and restarted Exim. This fixed the issue. I hope someone will find this helpful. Cheers !
