Thanks to everyone who replied to this thread. I have since added the example from procmailrc.example, but I am still getting these messages. I have gotten two today.

From  Fri Nov 21 14:21:46 2003
X-UIDL: %[E!!nj'!!h1:"!cdc"!

From  Fri Nov 21 15:14:53 2003
X-UIDL: @Q'!!fZ3!!-8T"!DGb!!

If this is indeed a spammer/troll, how are they getting around my company's mail server to even get such a message in there? My small company's e-mail domain is set-up to have everything addressed to @MySmallCompanyDomain.com put in one popmail box. On that server I am running SA 2.60 and razor. This doesn't even show proof to me it was processed by SA at all since it doesn't have SA in the header.

Would setting up logs be the best chance to find out what is going on there if this continues to happen? I'm still new to this, other than razor, that is the only log I am aware of. How do I set-up a procmailrc log and SA log too? My biggest concern is that non-spam messages are being trashed.

The only problem I noticed with SA 2.60 since I installed SA for the first time a couple of months ago, is the following error message.I also wrote a bug report about it at bugzilla:
Use of inherited AUTOLOAD for non-method Sys::Hostname::SYS_gethostname() is deprecated at /usr/lib/perl5/5.6.1/i686-linux/Sys/Hostname.pm line 71.


Thanks,

I admit I don't know what a X-UIDL is or how to determine the meaning
of this contents of "(RO"!dA&"!nL3"!4bA"!".

Anyone else get messages like this? Were they spam attempts to start
with? Could SA be mangling non-spam mail?

It looks a bit like the procmail bug again; procmail occasionally puts a single " " (space) into the mailbox file, which results in garbage messages like this being created.

The procmailrc.example distributed with SpamAssassin has a stanza
at the end to avoid this.
