INVALID_MSGID hitting valid emails
Since a rule update on or around September 21st, we've been getting lots
of hits of INVALID_MSGID.
Investigation reveals nothing wrong with the Message-ID in the vast
majority of cases.
Can anyone shed any light on this?
Cheers,
Phil

no, unless you provide some examples.
hint: if you use milter, it's possible that MTA has fixed the Message-Id:
after it found out that the Id is wrong...

OK, sorry for the noise.
It was apparently collateral damage from a typo in one of my own rules.
Note to self. Test rules using spamassassin -t against an email, and
not spamassassin --lint.
Cheers,
Phil

Sure. Give me the root password and ip address of your server so I can
look at the logs.
Seriously, not without samples of headers that you claim are valid.
better yet, open a bug on bugzilla and document the errors.
