[Imapassassin-talk] FASD project: Online survey launched

[<ben...@id...>]

Dear Open Source developer

I am doing a research project on "Fun and Software Development" in which I kindly invite you to participate.
You will find the online survey under http://fasd.ethz.ch/qsf/. The questionnaire consists of 53 questions and you will need about 15 minutes to complete it.

With the FASD project (Fun and Software Development) we want to define the motivational significance of fun when software developers decide to engage in Open Source projects. What is special about our research project is that a similar survey is planned with software developers in commercial firms. This procedure allows the immediate comparison between the involved individuals and the conditions of production of these two development models. Thus we hope to obtain substantial new insights to the phenomenon of Open Source Development.


With many thanks for your participation,
Benno Luthiger


PS:
The results of the survey will be published under http://www.isu.unizh.ch/fuehrung/blprojects/FASD/.
We have set up the mailing list fa...@we... for this study. Please see http://fasd.ethz.ch/qsf/mailinglist_en.html for registration to this mailing list.

[Imapassassin-talk] problems using IMAPAssassin

[Doug C. <co...@an...>]

First off, I'm trying to install and use SpamAssassin/IMAPAssassin in my 
user account (as I do not have root access to the Linux system I'm using 
it on).

I've gotten this installed on my system, and it appears to run and 
successfully scans my Inbox, but it doesn't identify *anything* as SPAM. 
  It does check all of the messages (I see the message IDs scrolling by, 
and I even modified the code to print out a message so I could confirm 
it was coming from my Inbox).  So it's reading all the data, but not 
getting a positive SPAM score on anything.

Just for kicks, I did change the check from 'if ($IsSpam)' to 'if(1)' 
just to see if it would move any messages, and it did attempt to, but 
reported an "Error moving message", without any further information. 
I've checked all the paths to the IMAP folders in the config file (I 
think), but I haven't had much time to dig into it deeper than that.

I've tried copying the user_prefs.template file into 
~/.spamassassin/user_prefs -- but that file is all comments anyway.  All 
of the *.cf files appear to be installed properly in ~/sausr/, and I'm 
running out of ideas.

Do you have any?  (Ideas that is)
