Marked as spam when under required score
Hi there,
I having a problem with one of our platforms that run spamassassin where
mail seems to be flagged as spam even though it does not hit the score
required. Running
spamassassin -t examplemail
(where examplemail is the full headers and body from a message, which is
being sent from actinic catalogue). This gives the output:
Spam detection software, running on the system "ptb-cgirelay01", has
identified this incoming email as possible spam. The original message
has been attached to this so you can view it (if it isn't spam) or label
similar future email. If you have any questions, see
the administrator of that system for details.
Content preview: Dear Mr M A Woodhouse, Thank you for shopping at
allplas.co.uk . We have received and are processing the following
order: Order Number: MA22AN72006795 Order Date: 9 January 2006 10:45
GMT [...]
Content analysis details: (-2.6 points, 5.5 required)
pts rule name description
---- ----------------------
--------------------------------------------------
0.2 NO_REAL_NAME From: does not include a real name
-2.8 ALL_TRUSTED Did not pass through any untrusted hosts
As you can see, the message is scored as -2.6 but still flagged as
possible spam. I don't see how adding a custom rule would help here as
it is not looking at the score correctly. The only thing I can think is
that it doesn't like the -ve number but that doesn't sound right.
Any ideas on why this is happening welcome.
SpamAssassin version 3.0.2
running on Perl version 5.8.4
Debian Linux 2.6.8-2-686-smp
Thanks,

That's what spamassassin -t does. From the man page:
> -t, --test-mode
> Test mode. Pipe message through and add extra report. Note

Do you see any other symptoms?

-t, --test-mode
Test mode. Pipe message through and add extra report.
Note that the report text assumes that the message is
spam, since in normal use it is only visible in this case.
Pay attention to the score instead.

The -t option is "test" and says "always give the info as though it was a
spam".
Remove that option and try again.

X-Amavis-Alert: BAD HEADER Improper use of control character (char 0D hex)
Posted by br...@sptroth.com.
Hello all
Environement:
I'm using Amavisd-new 2.2.1-5 (for Virusscaning) with Postfix 2.1.5 as MTA
and Spamassasin 3.0.3 on a Suse linux 9.0 Host
Normal message process:
SMTP > Postfix > Amavisd-new > Postfix > Spamd > Relay Host
Failure:
When a special message is incoming (like below) amavisd-new
"corrects" the bad header and adds an additional header, but other headers
ar lost.
So the message cannot be procesed as spam (subject line is empty)
and will be delivered as a clean message.
SpamAssasin works fine.
Question:
Has someone any idea how to fix this problem
Regards
Bruno
