Re: [SAtalk] is spamassassin poisoning my mail spool?

My mail spool yes, of course it's procmail that's putting it in the 
spool, not SA.

Hmm, perhaps you should be a bit specific..
Apologies, having to look after my 3 month old baby during the day...

is some garbage non-mail containing file with just those lines
winding up in /var/spool/mail?
That's exactly it (/var/mail/adrian in my case). No From line and thus 
qpopper throws a wobbly and refuses to collect any mail from the spool, 
I have had to hand delete that junk several times.

those headers being added to messages 
run through | /usr/bin/spamassassin -r?
You mean stripped right? SA strips its own headers out before submitting 
to Razor-report, right?

(which they should, but theoretically, you shouldn't be picking up the 
output of spamassassin -r at all)
Exactly. Thinking about it as I write this, these lines are exactly the 
headers you'd expect SA to have stripped out of the messages I was 
reporting (I've customized the added headers in local.cf).

Interestingly after further testing - I reported two spam's one with a 
score of 2.9 and one with a score of 24.57 - I think this problem only 
occurs when the spam has a score less than the required=5.0.

This is what I got in my spool:

X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 2.61 (1.212.2.1-2003-12-09-exp) on
        nepenthes.local.
X-Spam-Status: No, hits=2.9 required=5.0 auto
X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 2.61 (1.212.2.1-2003-12-09-exp) on
        nepenthes.local.
X-Spam-Status: No, hits=2.9 required=5.0 auto
Which seems to suggest I get two copies of the headers for each mail I 
submit with an SA score less than 5. But then I tried a further report 
of a spam with a score of 2.1 and got:

X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 2.61 (1.212.2.1-2003-12-09-exp) on
        nepenthes.local.
X-Spam-Status: No, hits=2.9 required=5.0 auto
Which blows that idea out of the water, then again I submitted some high 
score spam to razor earlier today and got no garbage in the mail spool.
Something is screwy somewhere.

After running SA with the -D switch when reporting it looks like there 
might be some problems with my Razor installation:

Jan 15 12:29:55.046480 report[14997]: [ 6] computing sigs for mail 1.0, 
len 9577
Jan 15 1razor2 report failed: Bad file descriptor Died at 
/Library/Perl/Mail/SpamAssassin/Reporter.pm line 120, <GEN1> line 1.
debug: leaving helper-app run mode

At this point I think the root cause might be a problem with Razor.

I'll need to look into the Razor problem and post to Razor-users I guess.

Thanks.

Adrian
