We're running SpamAssassin 2.63 with amavisd-new-20030616-p5 and postfix as a frontend to our Exchange server (yes, it all needs to be updated, but still working damn well). SA/amavisd-new tags all mail with scores (dropping stuff with scores over 20), and it's up to Exchange rules to filter to Spam folders for the end users.
A few months ago I started to see an occasional email come through to the client with the X-Spam headers showing up in the body of the email rather than the header (and since the rules trigger on the header, not getting filtered as spam by the client rules). Attached is an example of one of these emails. It appears that there is a space between the original header and the X-Spam headers, which I think is what is causing the client to consider the space to mark the beginning of the body. Anyone seen this? The email shows up in the Outlook client with this at the top, followed by the pharmeceutical spam pitch: X-Spam-Status: Yes, hits=12.6 tagged_above=-999.0 required=5.0 tests=AWL, BANG_GUARANTEE, BAYES_99, DATE_IN_FUTURE_03_06, J_CHICKENPOX_28, RCVD_IN_SBL, SARE_OBFUMONEY2, TW_NW X-Spam-Level: ************ X-Spam-Flag: YES The strange thing is when I copy this deformed email back to the Exchange server (using IMAP), that Outlook then seems to decide that the X-Spam stuff *is* part of the header after all and the Outlook client doesn't show the X-Spam stuff in the body of the email... even though on initial delivery it was in the body.... so not sure if this is a problem in SA, amavsd-new, or Exchange/Outlook. Pretty annoying to have SA properly tag something, but have it come through anyway... I'm hoping someone else has seen this (I was unable to turn up anything in the archives). thanks! johnS
