Hi everyone,
I have recently upgraded to Qmail-Scanner 1.13 to take advantage of the
ability to use fast_spamassassin (i.e., spamc -c) in conjunction with
subject tagging (i.e., prepending "*****SPAM*****" to the subject of a
message). However, when I try to use the same tag that I've been using
("*****SPAM*****", the spamassassin default), Qmail-Scanner returns an error
(shown below) and fails to scan the message. I have tried a number of
alternate tags without the multiple asterisks, just "SPAM" for example, and
everything works like you would expect. Any tag with two or more successive
asterisks will break things. I already have a number of users filtering on
the previous tag (*****SPAM*****), however, so I'm reluctant to change it.
I'm just starting to learn perl, so I don't really trust my own skills to
alter the qmail-scanner script, although if no one has any ideas, I'll
certainly try :-) The error message in qmail-queue.log is reproduced below:
----------

----------
Some relevant lines from the qmail-scanner script (in particular, line 837
is referenced above):
----------
line 836: $altered_subject="$1: $spamc_subject $3";
line 837: if ($altered_subject !~ /^: $spamc_subject/) {
line 838: &debug("altering subject line to $altered_subject");
line 839: print QMQ "$altered_subject\n";
line 840: next;
----------
I'm running RedHat 7.1 with spamassassin 2.30, which is invoked as
"spamd -d -F 0 -L -x"
I hope I'm not missing something totally obvious. Anyone have any ideas on
how to use the default spamassassin subject tag (*****SPAM*****) along with
fast_spamassassin?
Thanks for your attention,
Andy
