Package: spamc
Version: 3.2.3-0.volatile1
Architecture: i386
Hi,
When attempting to learn a message as ham/spam using the spamc -L
option, a message larger than the max-size setting (default 512000) will
return an exit status of 98, which is not documented in the man page.
Here is an example, feeding 524288 bytes (which is larger than the
default max-size setting of 512000) into spamc, in 'learn' mode:
$ dd if=/dev/zero bs=32k count=16 | spamc -L spam
16+0 records in
16+0 records out
524288 bytes (524 kB) copied, 0.0101715 seconds, 51.5 MB/s
$ echo $?
98
The only clue as to what this exit status meant was the following
message written to syslog for the 'mail' facility:
spamc[28720]: skipped message, greater than max message size (512000 bytes)
I determine this #define to be the source of the '98' exit status, which
is actually a truncation of the decimal value 866 to 8 bits:
spamc/libspamc.h:86:#define EX_TOOBIG 866
I've attached a suggested addition to spamc.pod to explain what a '98'
exit status means. I'm hoping that all architectures truncate the exit
status to 8-bits...
Regards,
