qmail-scanner inserts his own header creating incomplete redundant information (it doesn't show authentication information).
it inserts Received: from 1.1.1.1 (user1@domain.local@1.1.1.1) by firstmailserver (envelope-from <user1@domain.local>, uid 201) with qmail-scanner-2.05st in front of qmail's received header Received: from unknown (HELO ?127.0.0.1?) (user1@domain.local@188.45.128.1) by 0 with ESMTPA; 29 Apr 2011 18:23:53 -0000 This confuses spamassassins trust path code. So there was somebody who inserted code into spamassassin to ignore qmail-scanner's received-headers. I don't know whether this code was always incomplete or if there was a change since qmail-scanner-2, because the code only matches lines like Received: from 1.1.1.1 by firstmailserver (envelope-from <user1@domain.local>, uid 201) with qmail-scanner-1.25st The version-code is not checked so it would probably work with newer versions, but it doesn't handle the case correctly where "(user1@domain.local@1.1.1.1)" is appended, causing authenticated mails to be handled like unauthenticated in which case dial-up originator-IPs cause problems with PBL checks. So everytime somebody sends an authenticated mail connected via his dial-up connection using his qmail-scanner-2 enabled mail-relay (inserting this header), this is causing trouble at the destination server, when it is running spamassassin with RBL checks enabled. According to somebody replying to the bug report at spamassassin's bugzilla qmail-scanner should not insert such received-headers in the current manner. I don't confirm nor negate this, but there should be something done to prevent legitimate mails from being regarded as spam on the recipient's site only because of the combination of dial-up IP, PBL-check at the recipient and qmail-scanner-2 being run on the mail-relay. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Get a FREE DOWNLOAD! and learn more about uberSVN rich system, user administration capabilities and model configuration.
