Hi, I experience problems with certain kinds of spam that are apparently not standard compliant (what a surprise ;-)
SA does not add the required LF at the end of the message, and as a result, my MTA (slocal) does not see the end of the message, resulting in messages being lumped together. This has caused me to stop using SA 2.31. You can see the effect if you run the attached message through SA with spamassassing -P < problemmail.txt Contrary to doing the same with sample-spam.txt or sample-nonspam.txt, there is no empty line at the end of the file. Hence the result described above. Since it seems futile to wait until spammers respect standards and fix their spam, can one of the SA gurus tell me how I have to patch SA in order to make sure that it ALWAYS adds a LF to the end of the file? I'd rather have two empty lines than losing one because I did not realise they were lumped together... Many thanks for any help! Andreas
