Thanks for the info, I too have upgraded to 2.55 and the problem has gone. It did drop the mail though. That's how I found the problem. Two of my users said that messages that had definitely been sent to them and they hadn't got them, so I trawled thru the logs and sure enough, the bad protocol message coincided with the lost mail... I must admit, I hadn't looked closely at it at the time, and now I have and yes, it does look like the mail should have been delivered, but it wasn't, There were a couple to me, one from this list yesterday at 12:40:58 and while stat=sent, I didn't get it.
Cheers Bill

Hi,
I'm using stock RH9, no mods. I'm running spamd/spamc and occasionally mail is getting lost to my users:
I am getting the messsage:
spamd[24614]: bad protocol: header error: (Content-length mismatch: 3907 vs. 3906)
I've googled for solutions, but as I am using a stock RH9 system, I would assume that someone else has seen this... there aren't any updates to spamassasin that I can see, there is one message I found thru searching about an perl backwards compatibility error.
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.
