Summary: Missing Mail::SpamAssassin leads to mail corruption
Product: Spamassassin
Version: 3.0.2
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P5
Component: spamassassin
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
If the "spamassassin" executable is installed, but the Mail::SpamAssassin libs
are not, the resulting crash may lead to mail corruption in procmail
installations. This is a rare case, but it is (fairly) easy to work around.
Steps to reproduce (a little too specific, but I hope you get the point):
1) Install Mail::SpamAssassin under Perl 5.6.1
(i.e. Mail::SpamAssassin goes in /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.1)
2) add
:0fw
| /usr/bin/spamassassin
to ~/.procmailrc
3) upgrade Perl to 5.8.6, including /usr/bin/perl
Actual results:
/usr/bin/spamassassin crashes because Mail::SpamAssassin can't be found in
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.6, mail gets corrupted
Expected results:
/usr/bin/spamassassin detects a failure and returns the unaltered email
Proposed fix:
Wrap the body of /usr/bin/spamassassin in something like the following (with
appropriate handling if STDIN has already been read):
eval {
use Mail::SpamAssassin;
...
}
if ($@) {
print <STDIN>;
}
