--- Comment #1 from Henrik Krohns <apa...@hege.li> --- Created attachment 5842 --> https://bz.apache.org/SpamAssassin/attachment.cgi?id=5842&action=edit Fix rule_hits, meta declaration So the problem here is any rule that is not pre-declared in ruleset. If such rule is used in a meta as dependency, it will be considered unrun and the whole meta will not evaluate - unless of course got_hit() is called by rule_hits API. A good real-world example is __TRUNCATE rule that amavisd may dynamically hit, if a message is truncated. meta FOOBAR OTHER_RULE && !__TRUNCATE In that case FOOBAR will never be run if __TRUNCATE does not hit. In the case of rule_hits API, pre-declaring with "meta __TRUNCATE 0" could work as rule_hits is processed right at the start of Check.pm, but that does not work for other types of plugins that may dynamically hit some rule at later stage. So I propose a following format to be future-proof: meta __TRUNCATE () That would be considered a declaration, which will not be evaluated immediately (which other metas without dependencies currently do). Attached patch for your consideration. May add tests and doc later. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
