I've been trying out spamassassin ("spamassassin -P") for a few days now. It is really cool, but I managed to nearly kill my system when my filter caused an infinite loop of error messages (I had like 8 or so spamassassin processes running simultaneously). I looked at the docs for spamc/spamd and started spamd running. I can "scan" a message using spamc, but many messages that "spamassassin -P" catches easily, spamc reports as flagging no tests. For example, here's the result from one such message
$ cat 1011540635.15043.dman.ddts.net | spamc | egrep "X-Spam|SPAM:" X-Spam-Status: No, hits=0 required=5 tests= $ cat 1011540635.15043.dman.ddts.net | spamassassin -P | egrep "X-Spam|SPAM:" X-Spam-Status: Yes, hits=24 required=5 tests=NO_REAL_NAME,PLING,HTML_WITH_ X-Spam-Flag: YES X-Spam-Prev-Content-Type: text/html; charset=US-ASCII SPAM: -------------------- Start SpamAssassin results ---------------------- SPAM: Content analysis details: (24.3 hits, 5 required) SPAM: Hit!

What is wrong with spamc/spamd? I've tried spamd both with and without the "-d" option and spamc with no options. BTW, the performance of 'spamc' does match the claims : real 0m0.055s user 0m0.000s sys 0m0.000s compared to real 0m1.440s user 0m0.720s sys 0m0.080s TIA! -D -- Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and your plans will succeed.
