[Savannah-hackers] troubles with spamassassin and japanese

[Mathieu Roy]

Hi system-hackers people,

Can you handle this blocker problem 

http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=detailbug&bug_id=1288&group_id=11

« The mail server seems to start using SpamAssassin, and my
mail was blocked because of it.

In some mailing lists (i.e. gnu-devels-jp and pupa-staff),
we speak Japanese, as we know all of us understand it and
even prefer it to English. So SpamAssassin shouldn't say
that any mail is likely to be a SPAM, just because it is
written in Japanese.

However, SpamAssassin tagged my (non-SPAM) mail with this:

X-Spam-Report: 5.4 hits, 5 required;
* 2.4 -- BODY: Contains at least 3 dollar signs in a row
* 3.0 -- BODY: message body is 50-75% uppercase

Clearly, this is bogus, because I didn't write any dollar
sign, and such a concept as "uppercase" doesn't exist in
Japanese.

Because I have been using SpamAssassin locally with no
problem, I think it's just a problem of the configuration.
In my configuration file, this line is included:

ok_locales ja

Since we always use Japanese, I expect all mails will be
blocked, as long as the current configuration is used.

Okuji »

Regards,
