Subject Rewrite - Added charectors

[Steve Dimoff <sd...@usnetworksinc.com>]

Folks,

	We have in the SA conf:

subject_tag [SPAM]

We are running SA 2.63

Since today, we haven't had a problem with the rewrite, and today a message
came in as:

[SPAM-P]

...I'm confused... of where the -P came from.  Has anyone seen this before?
Or know why?

Thanks,
Steve

Warning: You have a DoS vulnerability in your version of SA. This vulnerability
is in the mime parser, and can be exploited remotely by sending you a malformed
message. Upgrade to 2.64 or 3.0.4 to fix that.

How do you call spamassassin? Do you use it directly from procmail scripts, or
do you use MailScanner, amavis, or other integration tool?

Some of the integration tools, including the above mentioned tools, only call SA
for scoring purposes and generate their own markup, so it doesn't matter what
you have in your spamassassin config files.

I'd also consider running spamassassin --lint to check your config files for
typo errors.
