CentOS - Jan 2010 - The future is here, but Spamassassin doesn't buy it

Hey all,

I am getting a number of incoming emails flagged as spam this morning.
Here's why:

X-Spam-Level: *****
X-Spam-Status: Yes, score=5.2 required=5.0 tests=FH_DATE_PAST_20XX,
     SUBJ_ALL_CAPS autolearn=no version=3.2.5
X-Spam-Report:
     *  3.4 FH_DATE_PAST_20XX The date is grossly in the future.

The date of 2010 in the emails is correct. I have typed "sa-update"
and
restarted, to no avail. Anyone else seeing this?

Yes and they haven't fixed it (yet) : 
https://issues.apache.org/SpamAssassin/show_bug.cgi?id=6269
Change your score for that rule, or disable it, or change it like 
described in the bug entry
I like the fact that they said it was "fixed" in svn some months ago, 
but it's still in svn and not in the $current release so  ... :/
Nothing than a sa-update will not fix when they decide to update the 
base rules

Yep, it's universal. They caught this 5 months ago then never pushed the
update.

add

score FH_DATE_PAST_20XX 0

to your /etc/mail/spamassassin/local.cf
And you should use Bayes. A well-trained Bayes would have balanced that 
down (assuming it was ham).
