Hm. I ran some isolated test (only one message for now). Strangely enough the
boundary was there. Perhaps something is eating up the last line of the
message. Most of my messages were from old mailboxes, so they were passed
through formail. Perhaps that is the culprit. It is strange though that I
have found no other malformed messages.
Ooops, I found the cause of this. I used to call spamassassin with the
following procmail rule:
:0 fhw
| spamassassin -L
Note the h flag - it makes it so that _only_ the message header is passed
to SA. It is no wonder the spam filtering was ineffective - SA could only
process the message headers, and when creating a spam report it
encapsulated an empty message. Then procmail appended the body of the message
thus keeping the processed message sizes somewhat correct.
I guess the procmail documentation is somewhat fuzzy on the h flag issue -
or I did not RTFM well enough (probably the second).
Anyway, I corrected the rule and used a script to recover the messages, so
everything is ok now.
Thank you for your time,
