Hi.
I’m using SA with MdF on Linux (Fedora 22).
MdF generates the header “Return-Path: <mail-from>” for me, so that should be
available to me in the rules.
To test this, I wrote a couple of rules:
header __L_EMPTY_SENDER EnvelopeFrom:addr !~ /./
header __L_MATCH_SENDER EnvelopeFrom:addr =~ /.*/
I’ve also tried:
header __L_EMPTY_SENDER EnvelopeFrom:addr =~ /^$/
but in all cases, I get:
Sep 22 11:07:46.237 [26384] dbg: rules: ran header rule __L_EMPTY_SENDER
======> got hit: "negative match"
Sep 22 11:07:46.237 [26384] dbg: rules: ran header rule __L_MATCH_SENDER
======> got hit: "negative match”
which I don’t get, because other similar rules end up showing what $& (or
${^MATCH}) would be (i.e. what matched).
What is a negative match, anyway? Looking at the code, it seems that
::hit_rule_plugin_code() only gets called when we matched anyway, so saying
it’s a negative match is counter-intuitive.
Am I seeing https://bz.apache.org/SpamAssassin/show_bug.cgi?id=6360 in this
case? And comment 2 says:
trunk (3.4.0):
Bug 6360
: "negative match" on a "0" string - not fixed,
appears cosmetic, just added a comment
Sending lib/Mail/SpamAssassin/Plugin/Check.pm
Committed
revision 1338300.
but the bug is marked “RESOLVED FIXED” so I’m confused. Should it be “WONTFIX”
instead?
Thanks,
-Philip
