[Bug 6486] New: Subject re-written twice for some SPAM

https://issues.apache.org/SpamAssassin/show_bug.cgi?id=6486

           Summary: Subject re-written twice for some SPAM
           Product: Spamassassin
           Version: 3.2.4
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: minor
          Priority: P2
         Component: spamc/spamd
        AssignedTo: dev@spamassassin.apache.org
        ReportedBy: jsantos@asycuda.org


Created an attachment (id=4801)
 --> (https://issues.apache.org/SpamAssassin/attachment.cgi?id=4801)
screen capture of received SPAM messages

I configured rewrite_header subject to add '******** SPAM ($score)' to
identified SPAM messages.  Some of the SPAM messages received by users have
headers rewritten twice with the first and second having different scores.  How
can I fix this so that header is rewritten only once with the total score?

Thanks for getting back to this and the confirmation. :)  However, as far as
this bugtracker (and a SA bug report) is concerned, this report is INVALID
(read: there is no SA bug), even though the "status" of your particular issue
is FIXED now. (For future searches, resolution fixed means, a bug indeed has
been corrected in the source.)

Re-setting the Resolution.

That probably indicates the message has exceeded a (very low?) size threshold,
so 'spamc' won't scan it while 'spamassassin' does. Or any other rule in your
procmail recipes prevented the second scan.

It is almost always preferable to use spamc/spamd in production, rather than
the plain 'spamassassin' script -- the latter comes with a severe per-message
startup cost, unlike the daemon and light-weight client.

I'd say this is a problem with your mail processing environment, and these
messages have been scanned twice by SA -- because they have been fed twice to
SA.

Most likely not a bug with SA.

If you need help tracking down the issue, please tend to the SA users mailing
list, rather than bugzilla. Since the actual issue appears to be with your glue
and its configuration (whatever passes mail to SA), you might want to ask for
help there, too.

Karsten, thank you for the assistance.  Indeed each mail is fed to SA twice -
from /etc/procmailrc, the mail is filtered to spamassassin and spamc that gives
the double score.  Funny enough, some junk mail get only a single score.  Does
this mean it was identified as SPAM by one engine and not the other?  I thought
that mails are checked against a single list.

The difference in running twice could be that there are network rules that are
returning differently or AWL score changes or Bayesian scores.

You'd really have to get the headers from the two emails and compare the
X-Spam-Status lines.

Regards,
KAM

Closing this bug report.

jsantos, if you ever can reproduce this issue and have verified the messages in
question have been fed to SA once only (preferably by providing a test case,
feeding a message to spamassassin or spamc), please feel free to reopen this
report.
