Are you expecting it to rewrite the file that you're pipeing?

Subject: Re: [SAtalk] SA doesn't do anything...


On my system using the "spamassassin -P -D < text2bread" only displays
the results to stout. It does not alter anything unless I use the
redirect to another file. I understand that -P is a pipe... but to me a
pipe means pipe what your doing to this, it's the "this" that mystifies
me! Are you telling me that SA with -P switch is taking the message and
altering and then handing it back to the originating process? This is
what I thought was happening originally but it's just not happening in
practice.

Since I must use the -P, (I can't let SA deliver the email to the users
mailbox) I'm stumped as to how to proceed. Any suggestions?
