I am having an interesting problem and I am wondering if anyone else
has had this problem. Sometimes dspam tags my spam message with the
tag "[SPAM]" instead of what the user has set within that user's
preferences. The messages are not coming in with that "[SPAM]" tag
on it, as you can see from my attached logs. It also seems that
everytime dspam tags a message incorrectly, dspam logs "unable to
initialize tools context" three times, followed by "Unable to attach
DSPAM context. Retrying.", dspam then report finding that message as
spam.
My setup is Exim, dspam 3.8.0 server/client, opt-out, mysql 5 (DB
over TCP on seperate machine), "spamSubject="{SPAM}" is set in
dspam.conf, and no user has spamSubject set to "[SPAM]" in the DB.
I think it has something to do with lines 1057 to 1063 in src/
dspam.c. I am not much of a C programmer but it appers to me that
_ds_pref_val is failing so spam_subject stays set to "[SPAM]" as it
is on line 1057. here is the bit of code that I am refering to:
--------
strcpy(spam_subject, "[SPAM]");
if (_ds_pref_val(ATX->PTX, "spamSubject")[0] != '\n' &&
_ds_pref_val(ATX->PTX, "spamSubject")[0] != 0)
{
strlcpy(spam_subject, _ds_pref_val(ATX->PTX, "spamSubject"),
sizeof(spam_subject));
}
--------
also here are the logs and the header that coraspond to a message
that was missed tagged. In this instance "Scorpius" is an inbound
mail server that routes dspam users mail to my dspam server,
"Puddleglum". You also can note that I am logging subjects, "3 for 4
Class Special" in this instance, and dspam is reporting that "unable
to initialize tools context" message.
