I use spamd, and in my configuration, I like to have SpamAssassin stop-S was irrepairably broken in it's design (I know, because I designed it!). It basically stopped before some negative rules would be run, possibly clawing back false positives. It really doesn't save you that much processing time anyway, because the majority of your email is non-spam, and so the majority of the time every rule is run regardless.
processing the message once the threshold has been reached.
The -S option to spamd does this.
This option is still working fine in the latest release, however I
notice that the documentation for it has been removed. It has been
removed from both the man pages, and in the usage flags that `spamd
--help` illustrates.
In the change log I see this:
2002-08-26 23:29 jmason
* BUGS, MANIFEST, spamassassin.raw, spamd/spamd.raw: added BUGS
file, commented doco for -S option since it seems to be broken
Why does this appear to be broken? I am using -S on several very high
volume mail servers, and have yet to see any problems. SpamAssassin
stops processing once the score exceeds my threshold limit.
My concern is that this option will be removed completely from future
releases. I really don't want to see that happen. :)
It'll be fixed in SA3, whenever I get some time to finish it.
Matt.
