svn commit: r432345 - /spamassassin/trunk/lib/Mail/SpamAssassin/Message/Metadata/Received.pm

Author: jm
Date: Thu Aug 17 12:09:03 2006
New Revision: 432345

URL: http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?rev=432345&view=rev
Log:
attempt to dislodge parse_received_line() from the top of the profile table, by more sensible ordering of the regexp matches, and conditionalizing some of them based on common substrings; also: be paranoid about Received header lengths and cut off after 8192 chars
