--- Begin Message ---Package: mailfilter Version: 0.8.2-1 Severity: serious Mailfilter crashes out if there is a problem with a timestamp according to the log file mailfilter: Pass: [message details] mailfilter: Error: POP timestamp in message-ID invalid. mailfilter: Error: Parsing the header of message 18 failed. mailfilter: Error: Scanning of mail account failed. mailfilter: Error: Skipping account mil...@yoyo.org due to earlier errors. This serious bug was reported upstream over 2 years ago on 2009-09-24 <http://sourceforge.NET/tracker/?func=detail&aid=2865702&group_id=14762&atid=114762> and no fix has been made available. In fact the Mailfilter Development Team has not even responded to an older bug reported over 4 years ago on 2007-11-06. The bug is serious because instead of the mail filtering continuing after the message it failed to process, the mail filter process exits with an error code, which causes the fetchmail process to also exit. Then when fetchmail fires up again to download mail, the same thing happens with the result that messages just keep piling up on the mail server and never get downloaded. So the important question is, is there any support for this software, and if bugs are not going to be fixed, why does Debian continue to offer a seriously flawed package? mailfilter is a great and simple program for eliminating junk e-mail, especially because the whole junk e-mail message body is not needlessly downloaded, but if it cannot be relied upon, an alternative will have to be used. Thank you for any assistance you can provide. -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 3.2.0-1-686-pae (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages mailfilter depends on: ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.41 ii libc6 2.13-26 ii libgcc1 1:4.6.2-12 ii libssl1.0.0 1.0.0g-1 ii libstdc++6 4.6.2-12 mailfilter recommends no packages. mailfilter suggests no packages.
