Yes, that sounds right... I remember that when I followed my exact same 
instuctions on a new server, that it had these problems.  Forgot about that.  I 
agree it is a problem with CygWin version.

I did notice some compiling issues with PERL 5.8 as well (even on the older, 
stable CygWin versions)... So I always installed PERL 5.6.1.

Thanks for jogging my memory.

The working CygWin version would be before March 2004 or so (when I had did 
that fresh install that had the same problems as you).  The install I did in 
November 2003 worked fine.

It's definitely a problem with spamd, spamc running in cygwin had the
same problems as spamcpp, winspamc and my own custom spamc in .NET.
SpamD just sets the FIN flag before having sent the entire message.
Luckily I had an old Cygwin installation with Perl 5.8.0 where I just
installed SA3 and now the problem is gone on all machines. So it
definitely has something to do with any cygwin package version involved.
Any ideas which one :) ?

What method are you connecting to your CygWin SpamD?

Perhaps the problem is not with SpamD, but with SpamC.  I noticed that
the new SA3.0 doesn't always fill the incoming TCP for your SpamC
calling application buffer... I use 1024 byte buffers.  This may be
throwing whichever SpamC you are using into confusion as it takes a
non-full buffer to mean that this is the last packet for the email
results.  I use the new Content-length header as a check for message
completeness...

I wrote my own custom SpamC in .NET as a plug-in for XMail and stopped
having those issues you are having.

I seem to remember having some issues with WinSpamC (on sourceforge.net)
not getting the entire emails either.... but had pretty good luck with
the SpamC compiled in CygWin.

Feel free to email me directly.  I'm happy to help where I can.
