Has anyone compiled a comparison of Dovecot to DBMail? Why would I chose one over the other? I think their goals are quite different. Don't know if any such comparisons would be all that useful. Or I guess I can give you one difference: Dovecot tries very hard to be secure. DBMail then seems to keep adding SQL injection security holes. I said about this to them a few years ago and they fixed them, but now that I looked at the code a few months ago they had added more of those. -- End Forwarded Message --

It turns out Spamassassin is calling postfix's Sendmail bin, which calls spamassassin, and so on. What should I be looking for here? Cheers! Had the same problem.

FP's on BAD_ENC_HEADER in bounces from Microsoft SMTPSVC
Microsoft SMTPSVC seems to trigger BAD_ENC_HEADER when sending bounces if it's been given a non-English bounce template (or whatever M$ use for configuring that). Even bounces to correctly encoded mail. I've got quite a number of examples, and all of them have a foreign language Subject line, encoded in =?unicode-1-1-utf-7?, but wrapped onto more than one line. Three samples attached, from different SMTPSMV servers - jal.co.uk (Japan Airlines), ohl.de and ifg.com, all of which are legit correspondents. I removed the original pre-bounce message except for its final Received header - this one which bounced the mail - and I overwrote the usernames for their privacy, but the mail domains, the incriminating Received line, and the rest of the headers are original. header BAD_ENC_HEADER ALL =~ /=\?[^?\s]+\?[^?\s]\?\s*[^?]+\s(?!\?=)/ I think the problem is that the Subject header although encoded does have spaces in, which is invalid for RFC2047 (and headers can only be split on whitespace, so the folded headers are doubly invalid). Is anyone else having trouble from this ? With a net/bayes score of 3.100, it doesn't need many other rules to reach spam levels. One of those samples hit HTML_50_60, HTML_FONT_BIG, HTML_MESSAGE, HTML_TAG_EXIST_TBODY, HTML_WEB_BUGS and NO_REAL_NAME for a total score of 5.196 (ouch). I've zeroed the BAD_ENC_HEADER score for myself, but wonder if it's affecting others too ?

I find that it helps to clarify exactly which server added the headers. It also follows the same pattern as all of the other MTA headers which are always added at the top. -- Bowie

If I'm not mistaken, bayes_autolearn 1 should actually be bayes_auto_learn 1 anyone please feel free to correct me if I'm wrong. adieu Scott Loren Wilton wrote: [11208] warn: config: failed to parse line, skipping: rewrite_header_subject *SPAM* rewrite_header Subject SPAM [11208] warn: config: failed to parse line, skipping: bayes_autolearn 1 probably is bayes_autolearn Yes [11208] warn: config: failed to parse line, skipping: bayes_use_hapxes 1 [11208] warn: config: failed to parse line, skipping: bayes_use_chi2_combining 1 Don't know why those are complaining, but I think they are the defaults so there is no need to set them.

Postfix/spamassassin loop
Oops. I'm a bit of a novice user and I'm setting up SA under Postfix for the first time. Mail sent while SpamAssassin is running delivers fine, but anything inbound (or mail sent to a local address from a local IP) fails with a "max hops reached" error. It turns out Spamassassin is calling postfix's Sendmail bin, which calls spamassassin, and so on. What should I be looking for here? Cheers!

RE: Spamassassin Lint detects errors
Have you loaded all of the respected plugins in init.pre? If so, run spamassassin -D --lint and post output here. It'ss give you the reasons for not being able to parse the config lines. -Sietse From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wed 14-Jun-06 12:11 To: users@spamassassin.apache.org Subject: Spamassassin Lint detects errors Hi there, i have a big problem with my spamassassin.
