I have been working in this since I posted last and I get the same behavior
from both postfix and qmail. When filtering mail with spamassassin using
maildrop for some reason spamd and spamassassin both are giving an exit code
that causes maildrop to pass a fial code back to the smtp server. Thi

This message (and a few others) have been mangled by SpamAssassin 2.11.

In that line, could (does I did not look at 2.20 yet) SA log the size

Hi,
Before deploying SA system-wide on our servers, I decided to merely test SA
with my account. Following the instructions, I added "|spamassassin" in my
.forward file.
In general, SA does scan my e-mail and adds the spam tag/report to the
beginning of the mail messages. Additionally though,

Are you running the Debian version of SpamAssassin? The Debian package
correctly disables the tests
Hi, I'm seeing ALOT of these pure high ascii spams coming through lately,

How does one write new tests? Or could someone who knows, write up

I'm curious. Is there a website that describes the steps needed to set up
SA on a RH 7.1 box running just Sendmail? I'm guessing I'll need Procmail
as well, but I'm not sure.
I'm not a guru but fairly knowledgeable and sick and tired of the spam.
Thanks in advance...

SpamAssassin 2.20, that would have triggered two rules, though it still
probably wouldn't have been enough to tag it as spam.

If I remember correctly, if three non-spam e-mails make it through your

why not try it, and see if it's required.
