I've been seeing exactly the same behaviour off and on since Friday last week. I'd not yet managed to narrow it down to a specific rule or email, but your example triggers it every time on my i386 boxes. > hey Matt -- what version of re2c is installed? I'm currently using re2c v0.12.1 on both i386 and x64. However, I can only reproduce the problem on i386, spamd processes & returns the email immediately on x64. Sean
