SpamAssassin false positives on DATE_IN_FUTURE_96_Q?
by Gilbert E. Detillieux 23 Feb '16

23 Feb '16

I mentioned this problem at the last round-table session, but didn't get a solution, so I thought I'd post it here, just in case anyone has any suggestions to offer. I'm still seeing a whole bunch of false positives in SpamAssassin, since an update was installed in mid-September on a CentOS 5.7 system, for a rule called DATE_IN_FUTURE_96_Q, which is only supposed to be triggered when the "Date:" header has a date that is 4 days to 4 month ahead of the date in the "Received" header that has the _smallest_ difference in date. Here are the headers from the latest e-mail I've received with this false-positive. (I've stripped out irrelevant headers, for the sake of clarity and simplicity.) From topfivestories(a)messagent.itworldcanada.com Mon Nov 14 07:50:13 2011 Received: from mail.messagent.itworldcanada.com (mail.messagent.itworldcanada.com [207.112.10.80]) by palladium.cs.umanitoba.ca (8.13.8/8.13.8) with SMTP id pAEDoAxV028594 for <gedetil(a)cs.umanitoba.ca>; Mon, 14 Nov 2011 07:50:12 -0600 Date: Mon, 14 Nov 2011 08:50:13 -0500 X-Spam-Status: No, score=-0.3 required=5.0 tests=BAYES_00,DATE_IN_FUTURE_96_Q, HTML_MESSAGE,RP_MATCHES_RCVD autolearn=no version=3.3.1 X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 3.3.1 (2010-03-16) on palladium.cs.umanitoba.ca Note that I'm calling spamd via the spamass-milter on a system running sendmail. Note also, that in the above example, the only "Received" header was the one generated by my own server. (I've had other false positives, however, with multiple "Received" headers, all of which were within seconds of the time in the "Date" header.) Any ideas? -- Gilbert E.

recommendations for good linux web server based photo gallery software?
by Gilles Detillieux 07 Jun '13

07 Jun '13

After spending too much time figuring out how to install and configure My Photo Gallery (http://fuzzymonkey.net/software/photogallery/) on my CentOS 5 web server, only to realize it's completely inadequate for the task we have in mind, I thought I'd turn to the group for help before wasting a lot more time. Do any of you have experience with good photo gallery software for Linux? I want something web based, which would make it reasonably easy to invite select individuals to upload photos for various events (seminars & symposia) we hold. Ideally, we would set up a gallery for each event, then e-mail attendees access info (username & password) which would give them access to that gallery to upload photos taken at the event. After a time, we'd close off access for uploads, e.g. by changing the password, but keep the gallery up for public viewing from our site. It would have to be something really easy to use, simple and reliable, so that invitees don't have to spend a lot of time leaning or fighting with the site to upload a half-dozen pictures. It would be really nice if it allowed them to add comments to the photos too. I was thinking of trying Gallery 2 next, which is apparently available from EPEL for CentOS 5. But it looks like something pretty big and complicated with lots of packages, and it needs an SQL database on the back end, so I don't know how much of an effort it will be to install, configure and learn. So, I thought I'd ask before investing a whole lot more time on this. Any experience with this or other gallery software? What's good out there that would fit the bill for our needs? Or should we just give up on this idea and get everyone to upload to Flickr? Thanks! Gilles -- Gilles R.
