I'd like to update spamassassin in bookworm.
The proposed change updates to a new upstream version (from 4.0.0 to 4.0.1).
This new version is purely a bug fix release and resolves a number of
issues. Additionally, it updates the bundled ruleset to the latest version,
which improves detection accuracy versus the moving target that is internet
spam.
Notable upstream fixes include:
* Removal of the defunct SORBS third-party service
* TCP fallback was broken in the DNS resolution code, leading to DNS
resolution failures in some important cases (e.g. SPF records)
The changelog is
spamassassin (4.0.1-1~deb12u1) bookworm; urgency=medium
* New upstream maintenance release
- Remove support for defunct SORBS internet service
- Fix TCP fallback for large DNS query responses
* Import upstream fix for DnsResolver.pm method deprecation warnings
(Closes: #1041759)
* spamassassin-maintenance: reload spamd only if it's running
(Closes: #1028030)
* sa-update: Import upstream fix to usage of deprecated function
(Closes: #1039960)
* Fix spamd: user_prefs include files are only read on the first scan (Closes: #1056001)
* Run sa-update-hooks regardless of whether spamd is running (Closes: 1059744)
* Be more explicit about exit codes in spamassassin-maint.sh
* Remove a bashism in spamassassin-maint.sh
* spamassassin-maint.sh: minor shell improvements
* Refresh patch 10_change_config_paths
* Remove patches that have been incorporated upstream
* Fix systemd detection in cron script (Closes: #1067007)
* Remove rules referencing the defunct SORBS DNSBLs (Closes: #1072663)
* Incorporate upstream fix for PDFInfo.pm uninitialized value warnings
(Closes: #1091683)
* Restore phishstats.info support in Mail::SpamAssassin::Plugin::Phishing
* ensure Debian CI jobs run in a bookworm environment
