Hi all, I did check the archives for the answer to this one, but the keywords involved are vague enough that it may have been answered and I couldn't find it.
A message arrived the other day that when it was processed by spamd was logged in /var/log/messages instead of /var/log/maillog (like all other mail processed by spamd.) The message in question contained a high volume of control characters in the headers, including Message-ID. The resulting output was: Jan 9 14:39:23 tachi xïc\202^A^_0Â`\202^A^[\204/ for onramp:10010. in /var/log/messages. The message was Spam and I have a copy, if anyone is interested. I'm not sure if this is a spamd issue or a syslog issue, or both (or neither, for that matter.) I'm primarily interested in being sure that this does pose some sort of security threat, as it does look like a message was able to trigger unexpected spamd behaviour.
