           Summary: spamd syslog to system log (not maillog) on message with
                    control chars in ID
           Product: Spamassassin
           Version: 2.61
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P5
         Component: spamc/spamd
        AssignedTo: spamassassin-dev@incubator.apache.org
        ReportedBy: mick@onramp.ca


Posted about this on the satalk list and Malte E. Stretz suggested that I open 
a bug report on it, so here goes. 
 
Using spamd/spamc under Redhat 9, spamassassin 2.61.  Got a message the other 
day that resulted in a spamd message being logged to /var/log/messages, as 
opposed to /var/log/maillog where it belongs, with control characters making 
things pretty ugly. 
 
The resulting line in /var/log/messages was: 
 
Jan 9 14:39:23 tachi x�c\202^A^_0�`\202^A^[\204/ for onramp:10010. 
 
A little concerned that these control chars have allowed this message to jump 
log files. 
 
I'm attaching the message that was responsible for this to this ticket, per 
Malte's request. 
 
Regards, 
 
Mick
