Tells me that dovecot normalizes headers to include exactly one space. (I did a little more testing with zero spaces squeezed through procmail to my mail folder. It came through that just fine. But it lost the customized spacing in dovecot.) {^_^} - Original Message - From: "jdow" <[EMAIL

First of all, rules for things like what you've mentioned already exist. You may add some extra rules to fortify against such things by including some rule sets from http://www.rulesemporium.com (go to their rules page) and you want to at least take 70_sare_adult.cf The rule you wrote seems OK t

It looks like that rule hit. However, the score for that rule was likely offset by the BAYES_00 hit which has a negative score. The same may be true for the AWL hit. Try setting the score for your custom rule higher. Also try training bayes to better recognize your SPAM. See the Spamassasin

It works for me. If the message only went through relays listed in "internal_networks" and "trusted_networks" per your configuration, it won't do the tests since you have explicitly told it that those relays are trusted. You should be seeing "ALL_TRUSTED" as one of the rules that fired on
