[Maia-users] spamassassin and FuzzyOcr problems - fixed!

[Eugene Pefti]

Thank you all, Robert and Darrick, for looking into my problem.
It's quite a pleasure to ask a question and rely that it will heard and
answered.

May I ask another one.
How would I set the default protection level to "High"?
May I just leave the value 'high' and delete others in the protection array?

Eugene

It's generated its share of frustration on the spamassassin-users list
as well, with the SpamAssassin devs patiently explaining (over and over
again) that "loadplugin" lines belong in *.pre files, not *.cf files.
If the author of the FuzzyOCR plugin won't comply with SpamAssassin's
standards for plugin design, he's setting himself up for trouble down
the road, when new versions of SpamAssassin start ignoring "loadplugin"
lines in contexts other than *.pre files.

Until then, you're right--this issue /will/ recur--and it needs to be
explained in a FAQ answer.  Ideally this should be in FuzzyOCR's own
FAQ, or the SpamAssassin FAQ, but if need be it will be written up in
the Maia FAQ.

The "workaround" that /I'm/ referring to is to process-quarantine.pl
itself, not FuzzyOCR.  I have not published any code to that effect yet,
as I haven't had time to make the modifications to
process-quarantine.pl.  Basically I mean to remove the duplicate
SpamAssassin object from memory, which should avoid instantiating a
second instance of the plugins in the process.
