2.-SA was classifying mail properly, attending to "^X-Spam-Status: .*Yes",
into spam and ham folders. Since yesterday, all legitimate (ham) mail is
going directly to SPAM folder, without any mark. What has changed??? I
noticed the headers were including the tag:
X-Spam-Status: No, score=-1.6 required=5.0 tests=AWL,BAYES_00,
FORGED_RCVD_HELO,HTML_MESSAGE autolearn=ham version=3.1.0
I suspected that the "YES" from "baYES_00" was being filtered with the
rule ".*Yes", and I changed the rule to "^X-Spam-Status: Yes". Now it
works, but I don't understand why I had to do this change.
Regular expressions are greedy. They will always match the largest
value they can.
"^X-Spam-Status: .*Yes" means match "X-Spam-Status: " at the beginning
of the line then as many characters as possible then "Yes". I am
surprised that it's not case sensative, though.
Since the location of "Yes" is well defined, it's better not to use ".*"
and keep a single space.
But I also don't see that this has anything to do with spamassassin,
since filing mail should be the job of the MTA.
