Lines that begin with '^From ' in the body of a message must be escaped by the MDA (typically they are converted to '>From ' ...). You -can- have lines with '^From: ', though. The first is more accurate, truly. Here's a good explanation of mbox formats: http://www.qmail.org/qmail-manual-html/man5/mbox.html It occurs to me to wonder if spamassassin properly quotes '^From ' lines in the body of messages. Heh, nope, it doesn't. I swear delivery isn't worth doing. What with locking and '^From ' lines... -- Charlie Watts [EMAIL PROTECTED] Frontier Internet, Inc. http://www.frontier.net/ _______________________________________________ Spamassassin-talk mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/spamassassin-talk
