Description Vinay Murarka 2007-05-10 01:28:22 UTC 
Hello,

We are using version 3.00200 with RVSKIN:

http://www.rvskin.com/index.php?page=public/antispam

with Perl 5.8.7 

The spam assin generating too much of error logs from last 4 - 5 days (almost 
1 GB per hr) our datacenter said that this is due to perl ver. is it so ?

they asking to upgrade the perl ver. to 5.8.8 to resolve the error.

please comment on this

Regards,

Vinay

Hello,

There are huge logs generated every minute, 

The log files contain this error:

May 6 09:35:41 rudraksha spamd[6280]: Malformed UTF-8 character (unexpected 
non-continuation byte 0x00, immediately after start byte 0xd2) in pattern 
match (m//) at /etc/mail/spamassassin/70_sare_adult.cf, rule SARE_OBFUFCK1, 
line 1.

I've checked the file and seems to be ok.

It is generating 5 - 8 errors per second which causing lot of log file 
generation.

Regards,

Vinay

As I suspected -- this is bug 3787.  the SARE guys are saying they'll be fixing
those rules soon... in the meantime, you could either upgrade perl or turn off
the SARE rulesets that cause the problem, temporarily...
