Hello,

I recently got some mails (eg. [3]) from local daemons (eg. uucp,
fetchmail). This mails all got hit by MISSING_HEADERS, cause they have
no To:-field, which is optional [1]. In the last 7 days MISSING_HEADERS
didn't hit any spam-mail on my setup [2]. Have any of you similar
ham-mails, which get hit by this rule or does it work properly?

I think spamassassin should try to detect some well-known types of mail,
which have no To-header, to prevent FPs. Maybe this rule should be
renamed to MISSING_TO or something similar and get a lower score.

Or is there anybody, who can tell me, how to add a To:-header to the
mails from uucp- and fetchmail-daemon?

Thanks,
Yours,
Heinrich
