Hi there,
For a Test, we setup the following scenario: Box-A: Running Ubuntu 10.04, Spamassassin 3.3.1 compiled from source. SA is configured to accept remote connections from specified IP´s, which works perfectly. No special Setup yet, no external rules, no nothing. Box-B: Running a Commercial Product with some-kind-of SA integrated (MDaemon), and the Option to configure an external SA. When setting up Box-A as external spamd on Box-B, the following occurs: (I just dumped the Traffic via ngrep to see what happens, IP/Hostnames wiped out for Privacy Reasons) T B.B.B.B:1751 -> A.A.A.A:783 [AP] REPORT SPAMC/1.3..Content-length: 2172.... T B.B.B.B:1751 -> A.A.A.A:783 [A] Return-Path: <b...@tld.invalid>..Received: from somehost.tld (somehost.tld [x.x.x.x]) by hostname-of-box-B (--MDaemon Spam Filter--); Mon, 09 Aug 2010 16:47:52 +0200..Received: from and so on. The interesting Part is the Answer of spamd: T A.A.A.A:783 -> B.B.B.B:1751 [AP] SPAMD/1.1 0 EX_OK.. T A.A.A.A:783 -> B.B.B.B:1751 [AFP] Content-length: 693..Spam: False ; 0.8 / 6.5....Spam detection software, running on the system "hostname-of-Box-A", has.identified this incoming email as possible spam. The original message.has bee n attached to this so you can view it (if it isn't spam) or label.similar future email. If you have any questions, see.the administrator of that system for details...Content preview: FFF bla etc [...] This happens everytime, no matter if the Score is above Threshold or not. For sure, Box-B dumps this information into the headers :) Just for Fun, i configured another box (Box-C) (which is in Production for months) as an external spamd for Box-B, which gives me the same curios results as above. Using another spamc (The one running on Box-C), the answers are as expected (report_safe 1) Notice PROCESS instead of REPORT, also the Protocolversions are diferent: T C.C.C.C:37088 -> A.A.A.A:783 [AP] PROCESS SPAMC/1.5..User: someu...@tld.invalid..content-length: 1189....

Am i doing something completely wrong here? Just wondering. andy
