Why rule "MISSING_SUBJECT" is fired?

[Marcin Mirosław <ma...@mejor.pl>]

Hello!
I'd like to ask you if this rule works correctly? I've sended email from 
thunderbird and roundcube and in both cases this rule scores email. Here 
is sample email: http://pastebin.com/rVTwNp5X (with little mungled 
recipient).
Rules are in version: 1162027, spamassassin-3.3.2
Thanks for help.
Regards.

Email doesn't contain body so there is nothing after headers.

I've downoloaded email from pastebin and nothing changed.

Reason: PEBKAC , i've got redundant backslash in own rules. I should use 
--lint more often.

Sorry for noise and thanks for your time!
Regards.

There is nothing in that sample that would cause the rule to fire.  I
downloaded it and ran it against my SA and did not get a match for
MISSING_SUBJECT.  The only thing I can think of is that the headers end
at the first blank line.  If there is a blank line somewhere in the
headers, that will cause SA to treat everything below that line as part
of the body rather than the header.

Download your sample from pastebin and run it through SA to see if it
still matches the rule for you.  You may have inadvertently fixed the
problem when you munged the recipient address prior to uploading the sample.

No, i don't use any 3rd packages, i'm using exim+spamd.
Sorry i didn't start spamd with en_us locales, some headers are translated.
All headers from SA are in X-Spam-Report, header X-Szczegoly contains 
report which rules hitted email.

I don't see other X-Spam headers there. How are you running 
spamassassin? Aren't you using amavis ot other software using just 
spamassassin libraries?

Are you sure some 3rd party does not modify mail headers?
