Hello, Sorry for so many emails, but it's sorted - removing "rewrite_subject 1" from the config does not stop the subject line from being rewritten, so i'm done!
However, with regards to the cronjob, i'd like some intelligent reporting if possible, so i've constructed this: ====================================================================== echo "Updating rules..." && /usr/bin/sa-update && echo "Done, now checking config syntax..." && spamassassin --lint && echo "Done, now restarting spamd..." && /etc/init.d/spamassassin restart && echo "Done" ====================================================================== However, if there are no updates (and sa-update exits with an exit code of 1) i would like to print "No updates, exiting" and then exit. So i modified it to become this: ====================================================================== echo "Updating rules..." && /usr/bin/sa-update && echo "Done, now checking config syntax..." || echo "No updates, exiting"; exit && spamassassin --lint && echo "Done, now restarting spamd..." && /etc/init.d/spamassassin restart && echo "Done" ====================================================================== However, whether there are updates or not, the script still exits - do you know which syntax i need to use here (i'm using bash, btw). Thanks again, Richard.
