okay, i've browsed dman's spamassassin setup at and i've got it, well, doing something...
it seems to add a whole new slew of headers, a blank line and then repeats the original headers and message: From [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sat Jan 04 23:50:16 2003 Return-path: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Envelope-to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Received: from mail by server with spam-scanned (Exim 3.35 #1 (Debian)) id 18V3fr-000063-00 for <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; Sat, 04 Jan 2003 23:50:16 -0600 Message-Id: <E18V3fr-000063-00@server> From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Bcc: Date: Sat, 04 Jan 2003 23:50:16 -0600 >From [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sat Jan 4 23:50:16 2003 Received: from duo ([192.168.1.2] helo=duo.lan) by server with esmtp (Exim 3.35 #1 (Debian)) id 18V3fr-00005v-00 for <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; Sat, 04 Jan 2003 23:50:15 -0600 Received: from will by duo.lan with local (Exim 3.35 #1 (Debian)) id 18V3eN-00008I-00 for <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; Sat, 04 Jan 2003 23:48:43 -0600 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: second Message-Id: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> From: will trillich <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Sat, 04 Jan 2003 23:48:43 -0600 X-Spam-Status: No, hits=0.9 required=5.0 tests=FROM_AND_TO_SAME version=2.20 X-Spam-Level: two aaugh! my spam-relevant exim.conf portions are: # Spam Assassin Transport spamcheck: driver = pipe command = /usr/sbin/exim -oMr spam-scanned -bS transport_filter = /usr/bin/spamc -u ${local_part} bsmtp = all home_directory = "/tmp" current_directory = "/tmp" # must use a privileged user to set $received_protocol on the way back in! user = mail group = mail return_path_add = false log_output = true return_fail_output = true prefix = suffix = # Spam Assassin Director spamcheck_director: # do not use this director when verifying a local-part at SMTP-time no_verify # When to scan a message : # - it isn't already flagged as spam # - it isn't already scanned # - it didn't originate locally (as long as I don't harbor spammers :-)) condition = "${if and { {!def:h_X-Spam-Flag:} {!eq {$received_protocol}{spam-scanned}} {!eq {$received_protocol}{local}} } {1}{0}}" driver = smartuser transport = spamcheck where'd i go wrong? -- I use Debian/GNU Linux version 3.0; Linux server 2.2.17 #1 Sun Jun 25 09:24:41 EST 2000 i586 unknown DEBIAN NEWBIE TIP #56 from Vineet Kumar <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> : Troubled by DOS-FORMAT OR MAC-FORMAT TEXT FILES? Here's another way to deal with those troublesome ^M characters: a simple tr -d '\015' < dos.file > reg.file should do the trick. While we're on the subject, a Mac file can be converted with tr '\015' '\012' < mac.file > reg.file You can do all your CR/LF translations with tr as long as you can remember that macs use CRs, *nices use LFs, and DOS uses CR+LF.
