SA: failed to run header tests, skipping some.

[Michael Hutchinson <mh...@manux.co.nz>]

Hello everyone, 

 

I have been having some issues with Spamassassin and have been ironing
things out (like child processes not becoming re-usable), but there is
one that floors me (probably because I'm not a perl expert.. but hey).
Anyway here goes my configuration and the errors I am seeing, I hope
someone with a kind heart can help me out.

 

Mail server information:

 

Operating System is Debian 3.1 (Sarge)

MTA is Qmail (as per Shupp's toaster)

Spamassassin is version 3.1.4

ClamAV is version 0.92

Perl is version 5.8.4

Spamassassin invocation is by init.d :

spamd -q -x -m 5 -H -d --pidfile=/var/run/spamd.pid

 

Ok, so now for the errors that I am getting for each email receipted by
our mail server, from /var/log/mail.warn:

I am more than happy to attach my PerMsgStatus.pm if anyone would like
to peruse it.

I have attempted to find the problem in this file, but don't understand
it enough, or the problem is not actually in there.

Any help anyone can give me would be truly appreciated!

 

Cheers,
