MISSING_SUBJECT
Hi,
I've been watching my spam assassin rules for a while and I'm getting a
bit confused with a couple of them.
The MISSING_SUBJECT rule fires on every email, even though they actually
have a "Subject:" header and spam assassin actually modifies the message
to add it's SPAM tag.
Also TO_CC_NONE fires all the time, despite a To: header field being present.
Anyone able to explain this to me please? Have I misunderstood what those
rules are checking for?
I'm using spamassassin 3.1.5 running on Mandriva 2007.
Martin

Yes, that was the problem.
I only had one rule.. and i just commented it out and the problem went
away. Didn't know about this lint thing.. i'll look into it.
I also think my previous reply went directly to someone, instead of to the
list. So apologies to whoever that was, and thanks for pointing out the
problem :)

Mark is 100%. You have misformatted a rule somewhere along the line. Lint
your rules and it'll turn up.
I went thru the same thing at one point... drove me crazy.

If I remember corrently, this effect can be produced by having
syntactically incorrect rules. Make sure to run 'spamassassin --lint'
before starting with modified rules!

If you have a valid sample mail that hits the MISSING_SUBJECT rule while being
run through "spamassassin -L", please open a bugzilla ticket and attach (not
cut/paste) the mail in the ticket.
Generally speaking, this issue tends to come up when SA is being called by
third party code, and things are not passed in correctly.
