Summary: spamc (esp. with -R) should print a warning when spamd
cannot be contacted
Product: Spamassassin
Version: 2.63
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: minor
Priority: P5
Component: spamc/spamd
AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I have read the spamc manual page and seen that the -f flag is now the default.
So if spamd is not running, spamc will give a score of 0/0. However it could
print some warning explaining what has happened - normally to stderr.
This is especially true with the -R flag which is supposed to print a detailed
report. If spamc -R cannot contact spamd, it can give a score of 0/0, but
should at least explain why. For example
% spamc -R <sample
0/0
The spam detection software running on the system "x.foo.com" has assigned this
message a score of zero because the "spamd" daemon could not be contacted.
Even without -R, some 'cannot contact spamd' message to stderr would be
helpful. spamc can still print 0/0 and exit with success.
