Peter, I ran your spam through my SA with that file/rule, and had no problem. My test ran on Windows XP, Cygwin, SpamAssassin version 3.1.0, running on Perl version 5.8.5. Can you use the command > spamassassin -D <redhotspam.txt >redhot.out 2>redhot.err and see if the problem hits there? If so, send me a copy of the two output files? I can't see how such a short and sweet rule could cause this problem. Can use some help. Also, maybe you can download a fresh copy of the specific.cf rules file, and see if maybe the copy you're running with has been corrupted some how? Bob Menschel
