I am running amavisd-new 2.3.3 & spamd 3.1.0 on a couple of servers with postfix running as the MTA.

I have setup some user defined rules in the ~homedir/.spamassassin/user_prefs file and most of the time, I can see the results of running these tests in the headers.

One of the rules I have is:

header          T_SUBJ_MYBAT    X-Mailer =~ /The Bat/i
describe        T_SUBJ_MYBAT    Mailer - The Bat
score           T_SUBJ_MYBAT    2.9

My problem is that I am seeing spam in my INBOX, that has a header line that matches the rule, but the rule does not appear to be evaluated, and the spam is passed as ham.

But the rule does catch some of the spam, because when I added it, the number of "Bat" spams dropped significantly. The problem is that some spam with the Bat header is still being delivered.

Is there something that would cause the rules in user_prefs to be skipped for some emails?

I have tried several permutations of the perl pattern, with and without the exclamation point. Same deal.

Here is the header from one of the skipped emails.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?
