I almost spent 2 days on exactly that problem since some 3.0.0-pre release. Yesterday I gave it another try and installed a fresh cygwin on my computer, added the necessary perl modules and installed SpamAssassin 3.0.0. I tried one mail that definitely failed on previous versions and suddenly it worked. Afterwards I copied the whole Cygwin directory to the server to put it into production, started spamd there and tried the same mail that worked on my windows xp: truncatied again ... Then I did exactly the same steps I did on my machine to install a fresh cygwin on the server, but that didn't fix the truncation problem. I think I checked 5 different machines, winxp sp1, sp2, windows server 2003, windows 2000 server and got it nowhere running except on my machine. I also checked if the PATH differs, reset NTFS permissions to Everyone Full Access. I'm some kind of frustrated now because I can't figure out where problem is :) Is there anything else I can check ? If it's some kind of problem with the cygwin packages, why does it run on my computer ?

I have version 3.0 working here and at work under cygwin, however, I installed cygwin waaaayyy back when 2.62 was just released. If I do a copy install (install cygwin, overwrite install) with the old version, messages are not truncated. I will try your directions; however, I think that there is something in the newest Cygwin packages that mess up spamd... Will try something else, and will let the list know (also will try your instructions). Thanks, James -----Original Message----- From: Jason J.

I can get it quasi working, however, I have a huge problem. It seems that Spamd is truncating emails with attachments (doesn't matter the attachment) around the same spot. Spamd in it's logs report that it sends back the entire message, however, (for example) a non spam message of ~60k is truncated to ~34k. This issue has been around since RC3, although I don't think it is entirely related to the code of spamd. The instructions I wrote, and the process I am using are available at : http://www.jamesdr.dyndns.org/sa3.asp I am not the only one having the issue, and it is not related to just one version of windows (happens on 2k pro, xp, & 2k server) if any one has tried a clean install of cygwin and spamassassin with the mysql bayses/awl/user prefs and got it working with out attachment truncation, or needs more information, feel free to ask. We've been scratching our heads on this one for a while. Thanks, James
