Re: SA search for Russian words

Bingo!
I inserted the line
ok_locales en
into /kolab/etc/spamassassin/local.cf
I saved and restarted amavisd.  I then edited a Russian spam
as new and 
sent it to myself.  It did *not* fire CHARSET_FARAWAY.  I
checked to see 
whether CHARSET_FARAWAY was valid for our version of
Spamassassin.  It 
has been one of the tests since at least 3.0.x.
Note:  I wrote the above yesterday, except that I didn't
have the 
"Bingo!" at the beginning.  (I forgot to change
the To: from Gunnar to 
the list, so most of you didn't see it.)  Today I am happy
to report 
that although I cannot test foreign character set spam
messages by 
resending, the CHARSET_FARAWAY is firing for the spam that
comes in from 
the outside.  It has caught 67 spams so far.  So I'll be
missing every 
opportunity for cheap tickets from Moscow to Egypt.
Thank you, Gunnar.
