Re: more spam gets through since SA 3.x -- Beg to differ

Thanks.. I think that's right Steve.  I realized this last night while I was thinking 
about these comments.  I had updated Amavis to the latest version as well...

I wonder if in this case the perl version is not so much about SA, but
about amavisd-new.
The amavisd-new web site recommends perl 5.8.2 or better.
Just a guess....

Hi Richard,

Perl 5.6.1 simply didn't work properly.  It caused Amavis & SA to 
strip
emails of their subject lines, failed to scan properly, had real 
problems with spawning multiple processes, and reported errors in 
spamassassin --lint --debug, many of which I was eventually able to 
resolve; but the worst problems remained, including an 
inability to run 

DCC.
hm... that's interesting. I just checked the top-level 
INSTALL file and 
it says that Perl 5.6.1 is just fine. When I manually invoke 
spamc, it 
scans just fine. amavisd-new leaves out some tests. Lint does 
not tell 
me about any errors.
