Examine the headers if this email, Ben. You should see something like this: DomainKey-Signature: a=rsa-sha1; q=dns; c=nofws; s=dk20050327; d=earthlink.net; b=i4B11JScmztoFnQh3L1dmNgJJ5LVrH4KvL6IDhr5usaFJCVhE+LJEBcXMk75qfx+; h=Received:Message-ID:From:To:References:Subject:Date:MIME-Version:Content-Type:Content-Transfer-Encoding:X-Priority:X-MSMail-Priority:X-Mailer:X-MimeOLE:X-ELNK-Trace:X-Originating-IP; Received: from [71.116.167.175] (helo=Wednesday) by elasmtp-banded.atl.sa.earthlink.net with asmtp (Exim 4.34) id 1FltBj-00075j-CX for users@spamassassin.apache.org; Thu, 01 Jun 2006 15:50:35 -0400
And something like this:X-ELNK-Trace: bb89ecdb26a8f9f24d2b10475b571120f889c95d8c8c9425737e3fd793879b263bd6f2aa67ad2da1350badd9bab72f9c350badd9bab72f9c350badd9bab72f9c

X-ELNK-AV: 0
X-ELNK-Info: sbv=0; sbrc=.0; sbf=00; sbw=000;
These various signatures are SUPPOSED to provide some proof about what
is contained below with checksums to verify their authenticity.
If you complain to Earthlink about spam including these headers without
any interspersed anti-spam headers is a great help. Unfortunately there
are still tools, such as ClamAV, which place headers at the bottom. Even
this list's software modifies headers below the DomainKey-Signature line.
At least SpamAssassin is trying to do what it can to do the right thing.

I'm very sorry for not being clearer or provide the required information. The change is that the X-Spam headers are now at the very top of the headers section, whereas previously they had been at the bottom of the headers. This is not a problem, but was unexpected and I thought it to be some sort of error. I thought the standard was to add new headers to the bottom of the list of headers so you could see clearly in which order the headers had been added. I will not be using domain keys and as I think it is neater having the X-Spam headers at the bottom of the headers list I would like to have some sort of conf option to have them how they were, but this does not seem possible. I realise that I should always provide platform information and all those details but sometimes I forget and this time I thought that it was a General SpamAssassin issue which was probably why I thought it unnecessary. As it turns out, it wasn't a platform specific problem after all. However, thanks for your help and sorry for causing trouble and confusion. Ben PS What is the best medium to search the list archives, because I have not been very successful in finding relevant posts when I have problems? -----Original Message----- From: Sietse van Zanen [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 12 June 2006 13:24 To: SpamAssassin Users Subject: RE: X-Spam-Headers at top of email Well, I think he was talking about the headers popping up in the e-mail (the body), and thtat is definitely a problem. And looks very much like the problem casued by/with spamass-milter. But he indeed should have been more clear, not even specifying whcih platform, new + old versions, configurations etc. I wonder why people are nowedays even becoming too lazy to take a little time explaining their problems and still expect people to readily give them the correct answers. I also wonder, why I keep replying. :-) Though my rule of thumb is, short questions, get short answers.... -Sietse ________________________________ From: Anthony Peacock [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Mon 12-Jun-06 14:02 To: SpamAssassin Users Subject: Re: X-Spam-Headers at top of email Hi Sietse, The original poster didn't actually explain why this was a problem for him. So I was explaining why the position of the headers had changed. Sietse van Zanen wrote:Well, it has.

Is there an option I can set, or does anyone know why it has suddenly changed where it puts the headers?
