SpamAssassin Bug

This is a notification received from Cpanel regarding a bug found in SpamAssassin.

The Quality Assurance team discovered a bug within the SpamAssassin ruleset
that will mark messages sent in the year 2010 (that’s today) and beyond
with a higher spam score than expected. This bug can result in legitimate mail
being flagged as spam.

The cPanel Development team has issued a hot fix that will address this issue
and will automatically update the SpamAssassin ruleset to resolve this issue.
If you have automatic cPanel updates enabled, no further action is required.

If you do not have automatic cPanel updates enabled, you can manually update
the SpamAssassin ruleset by executing the following commands in a root shell:

/scripts/autorepair spamd_y2010_fix
