spamc doesn't add headers
I spent my last days googling, reading tutorials, man pages and spamassassin
web sites and tried many differents settings for spamassassin (version 3.0.4)
but without success. So i have no other solutions than asking you.
Here is the content of my /etc/mail/spamassassin/local.cf file :
----------------------------------------------
required_hits 5
report_safe 0
add_header spam Flag _YESNOCAPS_
add_header all Status _YESNO_, score=_SCORE_ required=_REQD_ tests=_TESTS_
autolearn=_AUTOLEARN_ version=_VERSION_
add_header all Level _STARS(*)_
add_header all Checker-Version SpamAssassin _VERSION_ (_SUBVERSION_) on
_HOSTNAME_
auto_whitelist_path /var/spool/spamassassin/auto-whitelist
auto_whitelist_file_mode 0666
dcc_home /var/lib/dcc
----------------------------------------------
spamd is running perfectly as a daemon.
I copied a spam mail in the file 'spam'.
And there i meet a _very_ weird paradox.
If i run one of these 2 commands :
$spamassassin < spam
$spamc -E < spam
i get an output with 'X-Spam-Flag: YES', which is what i want to treat the
email with my maler.
But when i run :
$cat spam
No line with 'X-Spam-Flag: YES' appears. Yet, i thought my config file was
well written. because i put this line :
add_header spam Flag _YESNOCAPS_
I don't understand why no header is added in the 'spam' file
There must something i forgot.
Could anyone help me, please ?

Right, the message is displayed on STDOUT w/ markup and everything.

Of course not. "spam" is the original file without markup.

Are you expecting SpamAssassin to read in the file "spam", then write the
output back to the same file? If so, that's not how SpamAssassin works.
Basically you'd want to do something like:
$spamc < spam > spam.out
That will filter the message in the file 'spam' through spamc<->spamd, and the
resulting output will go into the file called spam.out.

Thanks a lot, vielen dank, Thomas, you had the right answer to my problem !
Unlike the kmail+spamassassin tutorials teach it on the internet, you don't
need to put only spamc in the filter action, you have to use "spamassassin -d
| spamc", as you correctly suggested.
Guten Abend. Good night.

I use "spamassassin -d | spamc" as a filter in kamil. The first part deletes
al previous maurup an than spamc checks the mail. You ned no redirecktion in
kmail.

OK thanks jdow and Theo. I am sorry to be so naive but i thought that
inserting a line like :
add_header spam Flag _YESNOCAPS_
in the /etc/mail/spamassassin/local.cf file would say to spamc to insert the
proper flag in the spam file.
Actually this is what i need spamc to do so that kmail (my mail client) treats
the spam properly. As i read to do so in many tutorials on the internet, i
put 2 filters :
- 1st one is applying spamc on every mail < 250kB
- 2nd one is detecting the presence of X-Spam-Flag: YES in a message
So i do _need_ spamc to insert this flag in the message.
But the problem is that in kmail(1.7.1) i don't know the name of the command
'spamc < spam > spam_marked_up' will not work.
I read kmail documentation, and whatever i do it doesn't get this output.
Now it's a kmail problem.
Thanks for your help.

christophe, you DO know that "cat spam" merely prints out your raw
spam file so it should not have any markup in it.
If you want to view a permanent marked up file you need to run:
spamc < spam >spam_marked_up
Or something like that. Remember that spamc takes stdin, filters, and
feeds back out stdout. So "spamc <spam" is not saving anything to the
"spam" file.
