Thanks for all of your replies. Think I should have kept a closer eye on the milter. I use DAG WIers packages for RHEL3 and he doesn;t have the 0.3.1 available yet. Never cared to look whether there was an update of the milter and therefor missed the issue. Appologies for any inconveniences on the mailing list. I will compile the milter tonight, as I first have to dig up the source for the sendmail version I'm using. Furthermore I did some digging in RFC822, and this is what I found:
3. LEXICAL ANALYSIS OF MESSAGES 3.1. GENERAL DESCRIPTION A message consists of header fields and, optionally, a body. The body is simply a sequence of lines containing ASCII charac- ters. It is separated from the headers by a null line (i.e., a line with nothing preceding the CRLF). Esto, the \r followed by the \n is against the RFC (Two line feeds is a CRLF on a null line), as it should be followed by a white space (or tab). I don't know exactly if it is spamassassin inserting this sequence or the milter. But if it's spamassassin it should be corrected there I think. If it's the milter it's already been fixed. So in the end the Exchage server is actually adhering the RFC, who would've guessed that. :-) -Sietse ________________________________ From: Justin Mason [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wed 10-May-06 12:03 To: Daryl C.
