Yes, that sounds right... I remember that when I followed my exact same instuctions on a new server, that it had these problems. Forgot about that. I agree it is a problem with CygWin version. I did notice some compiling issues with PERL 5.8 as well (even on the older, stable CygWin versions)... So I always installed PERL 5.6.1. Thanks for jogging my memory. The working CygWin version would be before March 2004 or so (when I had did that fresh install that had the same problems as you). The install I did in November 2003 worked fine. - Jason - Original Message - From:Robert Lacroix +ADw-rl+AEA-belacove.com+AD4- Subject: RE: Cygwin SA3.0 Problems Date:Thu, 30 Sep 2004 11:13:06 -05:00 It's definitely a problem with spamd, spamc running in cygwin had the same problems as spamcpp, winspamc and my own custom spamc in .NET.

RE: Cygwin SA3.0 Problems
I almost spent 2 days on exactly that problem since some 3.0.0-pre release. Yesterday I gave it another try and installed a fresh cygwin on my computer, added the necessary perl modules and installed SpamAssassin 3.0.0. I tried one mail that definitely failed on previous versions and suddenly it worked. Afterwards I copied the whole Cygwin directory to the server to put it into production, started spamd there and tried the same mail that worked on my windows xp: truncatied again ... Then I did exactly the same steps I did on my machine to install a fresh cygwin on the server, but that didn't fix the truncation problem. I think I checked 5 different machines, winxp sp1, sp2, windows server 2003, windows 2000 server and got it nowhere running except on my machine. I also checked if the PATH differs, reset NTFS permissions to Everyone Full Access. I'm some kind of frustrated now because I can't figure out where problem is :) Is there anything else I can check ? If it's some kind of problem with the cygwin packages, why does it run on my computer ? /robert -Original Message- From: JamesDR [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, September 26, 2004 6:45 PM To: users@spamassassin.apache.org Subject: RE: Cygwin SA3.0 Problems It seems something in the Cygwin packages may be causing the problem.
