Phil (and others),

I know this has been a while, but DSPAM (dspamc), I'm pretty sure, is
the culprit.

I have a test email from one of my clients that was truncated when DSPAM
was enabled and not-truncated when DSPAM was disabled.
I pulled this email (the pristine one) over to a test machine and ran
the following 2 commands on this test email, the difference being one
command calls 'dspamc' and the other calls 'dspam.'

1) # cat 'email' | dspamc --user user@domain --stdout
--deliver=innocent,spam
2) # cat 'email' | dspam --user user@domain --stdout --deliver=innocent,spam

The first command truncated the email output, and the second did not.

My conclusion is that there is something wrong with 'dspamc' though I
could be wrong.

I also noted that it was NOT stripping attachments but truncating the
message in the body of the email specifically on a '.' (period) on a
line by itself in the 'mark up' portion of the email.

I'm going to grab another email culprit and test it to see if the
problem is consistent.

I know that the DSPAM project is supposed to be KO'ed but I know there
are people still using it.

Eric
