Fedora 29: spamassassin Security Update
Summary
SpamAssassin provides you with a way to reduce if not completely eliminate
Unsolicited Commercial Email (SPAM) from your incoming email. It can
be invoked by a MDA such as sendmail or postfix, or can be called from
a procmail script, .forward file, etc. It uses a genetic-algorithm
evolved scoring system to identify messages which look spammy, then
adds headers to the message so they can be filtered by the user's mail
reading software. This distribution includes the spamd/spamc components
which create a server that considerably speeds processing of mail.
To enable spamassassin, if you are receiving mail locally, simply add
this line to your ~/.procmailrc:
INCLUDERC=/etc/mail/spamassassin/spamassassin-default.rc
To filter spam for all users, add that line to /etc/procmailrc
(creating if necessary).
Fixed some small bugs in the previous package: Initial rules now have the
correct version, sought channel config is dropped (since it doesn't exist
anymore) and build / runtime deps adjusted. ---- Update to 3.4.2. Fixes
CVE-2017-15705, CVE-2018-11780 and CVE-2018-11781 along with many other bugfixes
and improvements. See https://www.mail-archive.com/announce@apache.org/msg04823.html for more information.
