[SFOS 18.5MR3] Poor spam detection after update to Sophos Anti-Spam Interface

Hi everyone,
I am setting up a separate thread as I did not receive any specific reply in other threads.

The case concerns Sophos Anti-Spam Interface after upgrading from v18.5MR2 to v18.5MR3 and from v19EAP1 to v19EAP2.

Before updating, antispam works great in legacy mode, detects a lot of intrusive messages and tags with a prefix (near 99%). After updating, only some messages are detected as spam and tagged (I did not do any changes in configuration).

What it comes from? How can I edit my lists to achieve pre-update spam detection?

Greetings

  • Hello,

    Would it be possible to get the output of the /log/u2d.log and /log/sasi.log as well as a few samples .eml files via DM (especially interested in the X-SASI-* headers) so I can provide this info to the pertinent team to investigate.

    Regards,

    I deleted all files in the /sdisk/sasi dir and restarted the antispam service

    No he says the correct asdb.antispam is loaded

  • Hello Bart,

    Thank you for the info.

    Would it be possible for you to share some SPAM emails so I can submit them to our Labs team, and do let me know if after you did the restart of the service the SPAM issue got resolved or it only solved the asdb.antispam.

    Regards,

  • Hi  Emmanuel, the   deletion of the DB files did solve that error but spam is still not detected.  

    How can is send you the .eml files?

    Thanks.
