spamc/spamd SSL issues

[Trey Nolen <su...@internetpro.net>]

I'm using a combination of Ubuntu and Debian servers for scanning email
with spamc/spamd.  I'm running the following version:
spamd -V
SpamAssassin Server version 3.3.1
  running on Perl 5.10.1
  with SSL support (IO::Socket::SSL 1.33)
  with zlib support (Compress::Zlib 2.02)


I've been noticing a lot of messages in the logs like this since we
started using SSL:

Apr 10 08:02:11 mail spamc[5052]: failed sanity check, 293973 bytes claimed, 163770 bytes seen
Apr 10 08:02:12 mail spamc[4882]: failed sanity check, 293178 bytes claimed, 163770 bytes seen
Apr 10 08:02:32 mail spamc[6009]: failed sanity check, 294166 bytes claimed, 163770 bytes seen
Apr 10 08:02:35 mail spamc[5917]: failed sanity check, 405520 bytes claimed, 163770 bytes seen
Apr 10 08:02:36 mail spamc[6237]: failed sanity check, 295168 bytes claimed, 163771 bytes seen
Apr 10 08:02:54 mail spamc[6358]: failed sanity check, 297001 bytes claimed, 163771 bytes seen



I notice all of the messages are either 163770 or 163771 bytes seen. It
seems to be a limitation of the SSL connection.


I've found some bug reports that are talking about this issue having to
do with syswrite, but they are from 2007 or so.  I figured it would be
fixed by now.  Is there a setting or workaround for this issue or do I
just need to stop using SSL?

Try, I myself have notes for getting SSL working properly from 2009 that 
I never resolved with 3.2.   I can't remember if I've fixed it in trunk, 
though.  If there is an open ticket, add your info please.
