Fixed three small bugs, one related to perl 5.005 incompatibility, one related to untainting a file path, and one related to performance and not generating the same decoded message body more than once.
Fixed two bugs related to Received line generation and parsing. Modified
two rules to reduce false positives. Fixed bug where spamd temporary
init directory wasn't removed in some situations. Modified HABEAS_SWE
to function even if the Habeas headers were out of their normal order.
Fixed bug where reporting wouldn't remove message markup before being
learned by Bayes. Fixed bug where report_safe_copy_headers would
reverse the order of the Received headers. Fixed several bugs in the
Bayes system caused by DB_File oddities.

Bayes overhaul: DB storage format changed, journal/expire and tokenization algorithms improved. spamd supports UNIX-domain sockets. Better HTML parsing, detection of "invisible text", and other obfuscation techniques. DNS Blacklists overhauled: lots of new lists added, dropped defunct lists, better timeout handling, better header parsing, etc. More flexible header and report rewriting options. Perl taint mode enabled by default for increased security. Lots of bugs fixed, and a whole lot more! http://www.spamassassin.org/
This is a quick release to make sure 2.5x is really stable, even on

- spammers have been targeting our nice rules to get
themselves negative overall scores, so those rules are now
much less strongly-scored. also added a "TOO_MANY_MUA"
rule that will catch multiple user agent headers.... read more
This release fixes some major bugs, so it'll be a good one to upgrade to if you're using one of the earlier 2.5x releases.
