Hello, I use Courier MTA. Courier MTA replaces certain mailformed mails with mails which contain some explaination and the original mail as an attachment. The attachment of the mail you're just reading contains such a mail produced by Courier MTA.
Do those modifications done by Courier MTA confuse SpamAssassin's spam detection algorithm? Does SpamAssassin look at attachments at all? If yes, are they taken as seriously as message bodies? And what about training the bayesian filter? Should I feed such Courier-MTA-modified mails to sa-learn or should I better not do this? Best wishes, Wolfgang
--- Begin Message ---CORRUPTED MESSAGE This is the Courier Mail Server 0.47 on v791.vanager.de. I received the following message for delivery to your address. This message contains several internal formatting errors. This is often caused by viruses that attempt to infect remote systems. Instead of blocking this message, it has been converted as a safe, text-only attachment that can be safely read with a text editor. This sometimes also happens when the sender's mail software has a bug that creates improperly-formatted messages. Although these kinds of formatting errors may often be ignored by other mail servers, this server detects and intercepts improperly-coded messages in order to prevent viruses from taking advantage of bugs in E-mail programs: ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- The headers in this message contain improperly-formatted binary content.
