Old thread, but I'm trying this now when I'm hit by rtf spam. How do go you configure this? I installed the required binaries and then the ExtractText files to /etc/mail/spamassassin and created ExtractText.pre (no one told to do it but I figured that is needed) with content loadplugin Mail::SpamAssassin::Plugin::ExtractText ExtractText.pm loadplugin Mail::SpamAssassin::Plugin::ExtractText::OpenXML ExtractText/OpenXML.pm But SA -D --lint says Jun 8 20:38:57.000 [10237] warn: plugin: eval failed: Insecure dependency in eval while running with -T switch at /etc/mail/spamassassin/ExtractText.pm line 577. Jun 8 20:38:57.000 [10237] warn: config: failed to parse line, skipping, in "/etc/mail/spamassassin/ExtractText.cf": extracttext_module openxml Mail::SpamAssassin::Plugin::ExtractText::OpenXML SA 3.3.1 in Debian Lenny here. -- http://www.iki.fi/jarif/ I use PGP. If there is an incompatibility problem with your mail client, please contact me. You will step on the night soil of many countries.
