Summary: SpamAssassin creates it's own spam (BAD_ENC_HEADER)
Product: Spamassassin
Version: unspecified
Platform: Other
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: blocker
Priority: P5
Component: Score Generation
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
When encoding headers with utf-8 spamassassin will create it's own spam (or
rather increase the spam score).
First, when a rule marks a mail as spam, it will add "***SPAM*** " to the the
front of the subject. This will now trigger a BAD_ENC_HEADER which can actually
cause the mail to be deleted!
Example:
X-Spam-Status: Yes, score=4.679 tagged_above=-999 required=3
tests=[BAD_ENC_HEADER=2.87, HTML_IMAGE_ONLY_20=1.808,
HTML_MESSAGE=0.001]
This gives the following subject:
Subject: ***SPAM*** =?utf-8?B?Z2hqaiBoaiBoamhqa2w=?=
This will cause the BAD_ENC_HEADER to be triggered!
Of course , adding the "spam" to the subject MUST be done in a real manner.
This is a typical american bug, you still live in your happy ascii world :-(
To reproduce, encode headers in utf-8 and trigger a mild spam status, that adds
"***SPAM*** " to the subject. Notice that it will now also trigger the
BAD_ENC_HEADER !
THIS MAY NEVER HAPPEN! It totally ruins the 'mild' spam status. FIX IT!
