reporting errors

[David Gibbs <da...@midrange.com>]

I have a number of email addresses that get only spam, so I've set them 
up as spamtraps.

They are simply sendmail aliases that send to "| /usr/bin/spamassassin -r".

When I manually run the spamassassin -r command, however, I get the 
following...

$cat sample-spam.txt | spamassassin -r
Pyzor -> report failed: Exited with non-zero exit code 1

SpamCop -> message older than 3 days, not reporting
1 message(s) examined.

This is causing the alias to generate errors.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

david

1) file a bug report requesting a --silent option.

2) redirect the standard output/standard error from the pipe.  A quick 
google reveals this

be of some use.
