Sorry to have to return to the trough so soon, but still dealing with
issues since recent upgrade of SA. Downgraded but no help there either, so
went back to latest version.
Am using FBSD-7.x with Sendmail and SA-3.3.1_3
Here is the SA headers in an email tagged as spam but got through anyway:
X-Spam-Flag: YES
X-Scanned-By: milter-spamc/1.15.388 (mail.sagedata.net [38.106.15.121]);
Sun, 02 Jan 2011 08:42:43 -0600
X-Spam-Status: YES, hits=11.50 required=4.50
X-Spam-Level: xxxxxxxxxxx
X-Spam-Report: Content analysis details: (11.5 points, 4.5 required)
Additionally, in my "local.cf" file I have tried to manage the "X-Spam"
headers to exclude the X-Spam_Level, but it's still there contrary to the
config:
X-Spam-Level: xxxxxxxxxxx
First I tried the "remove_header spam Level" and didn't change a thing. So,
then went to the extreme and started with the "clear_headers" config with
add-backs of only those I wanted. Still no joy.
The spamassassin header add/remove functionality is all predicated upon
spamassassin being used as a filter element in a mail processing pipeline.
(IE messages are passed to SA (either directly or via spamc) on
standard-in and the results on std-out are then passed on to the mail
delivery system. Thus SA can modify the message, adding/removing headers,
wrapping the body etc.
You are using SA with sendmail & a sendmail-milter (milter-spamc). In that
architecture sendmail hands a -copy- of the message to the milter, the
milter passes it on to SA, the milter receives the results from SA, and
the milter then decides what operations it should tell sendmail to perform
on the original message inside sendmail (add/modify/remove headers, accept
or reject the message, etc).
So the SA header operations (which are written to std-out of SA) do
not have any direct effect on the message as passed thru sendmail.
That is entirely the function of the milter.
You need to look at the documentation (or source code) of the milter
to see what header mods you can make/change.
