Hi,

Sorry for the length. This is really irritating.

While testing the rfc-ignorant.org DNSBL lookups, I noticed a problem
with spamassassin not reliably reading $HOME/.spamassassin/user_prefs.
Permissions are ok:

-rw-r--r--    1 apthorpe users        3583 Jan 10 19:42 
/home/apthorpe/.spamassassin/user_prefs

I'm running v2.43. The test involves an old spam (June 18. 2002) flagged
by SpamAssassin 2.20 as passing through Korea by checking the
korea.services.net DNSBL. I ran the spam through 'spamassassin -d' to
strip the previous tagging, then ran it through the script below to see
if my custom DNSBL checks are working.

In each of the three test cases below, the tagged output is identical
(MD5 checksums of korea.*.out are the same.) The debug output shows
differences due to DNS checks and timing of Razor2 lookups but but
otherwise there's no indication that my user_prefs are being used.

nslookup 4.100.57.211.korea.services.net. yields 127.0.0.2, showing that
analysis of

Received: from eudoramail.com ([211.57.100.4])
        by mail21.jump.net (8.11.6/) with SMTP id g5IE76B04978
        for <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; Tue, 18 Jun 2002 09:07:06 -0500 (CDT)

should be flagged positive by the DNSBL check.

I'd try the same checks with spamc except I can't find a way to get
spamc to spit out detailed diagnostics. Otherwise it yields the same
output as from spamassassin except the RCVD_IN_RFGFORMMAIL test is
negative. Weird.

Is there another flag I should be using to get even more detailed
diagnostics of which checks were performed, not just the ones that
succeeded? Can someone else replicate this and verify I'm not smoking
discount crack?

Again, my personal checks seemed to be working fine in June with SA 2.20
when I first flagged this message. I don't understand what the code's
doing and it's not from lack of trying.
