Hi, SpamAssassin version 4.0.0 running on Perl version 5.36.0
Debian 12 (bookworm) I’m pulling my hair out. A simple mail containing ------[snip]----- teststring some random text ------[snap]----- and a rule in local.cf: body TESTRULE /teststring$/ score TESTRULE 5.0 does NOT match when testing with spamassassin -t BUT when the mail body looks like ------[snip]----- teststring sometext ------[snap]----- the rule matches - why, why, why? There are no additional or hidden control characters. body TESTRULE /^teststring/ score TESTRULE 5.0 matches in any case. spamassassin --lint does not complain. I’m going slightly mad 🙁 Background: I want to tag all mails that have lines ending with " ." (space period), if this pattern occures at least 3 times. I thought ------[snip]----- body __2025030701 /\s\.$/ tflags __2025030701 multiple meta 2025030701 __2025030701 >= 3 score 2025030701 5.0 describe 2025030701 Mindestens 3 Zeilen enden auf " ." ------[snap]----- would do this, but I cannot get spamassassin to recognize the line endings. Any hint is appreciated, Rainer
