Others have already answered, but none really addressed the issue above, as far as I saw. First, I don't believe you lost any mail. It appears from my logs that spamassassin stops processing the message, but it is still delivered. Jun 1 20:46:22 paradox spamd[16464]: bad protocol: header error: (Content-length mismatch: 3769 vs. 3766) Jun 1 20:46:22 paradox sendmail[16458]: h5H0kLXc016441: to=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, delay=00:00:01, xdelay=00:00:00, mailer=local, pri=87644, dsn=2.0.0, stat=Sent Each error in my logs is immediatly followed by another indicating delivery. - From the logs, and the fact that the message appeared in my mailbox without any spamassin headers, I'm guessing spamassassin didn't process it, and it was then delivered. I've also found that most of the messages triggering this are, in fact, spam. ;) I haven't done a lot of testing, and I've since upgraded spamassassin to version 2.55. I just rebuilt the src.rpm from rawhide. (spamassassin-2.55-2.src.rpm) I added a line to /etc/init.d/spamassassin: export LANG=en_US I've no idea if the above line actually helps any, but it was suggested here: http://spamassassin.org/dist/INSTALL Look for the paragraph header: Note for Perl 5.8 Users (incl Red Hat 8) I haven't seen any log messages related to spamassassin since upgrading and modifying the init script. - -- - -Michael pgp key: http://www.tuxfan.homeip.net:8080/gpgkey.txt Red Hat Linux 7.{2,3}|8.0 in 8M of RAM: http://www.rule-project.org/ - -- -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.7 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE+7onWn/07WoAb/SsRAvzMAJ4vBHdY5g/LWWgRWnry2CTvkIwarQCbByQr yxAOHh3A2C26/ww307YXC78= =u+gH -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
