Phillip, is there a specific version of procmail in which this is a known
bug or is known fixed?

In this case, I wind up with message getting delivered to mailboxes with the

I had a quick look at the spamc source, but no obvious reason for this jumps
out at me. Anyone else seen this?
I had exactly that problem today, but just using the spamassassin script
-- not running spamd on that machine. Here's what happened:
* I added a rule to local.cf, but screwed up, causing
a Perl syntax error which crashed spamassassin
* procmail noticed that spamassassin crashed, and "recovered" all
of my message save that first "F". The local MTA managed to
salvage something from that mess and send me a message I could
deal with.
My procmail log had this in it:
Bareword "JPEG" not allowed while "strict subs" in use at (eval 7) line 13.
Bareword "attached" not allowed while "strict subs" in use at (eval 7) line 13.
Undefined subroutine &Mail::SpamAssassin::PerMsgStatus::_body_tests called at /u
sr/local/lib/site_perl/Mail/SpamAssassin/PerMsgStatus.pm line 907.
procmail: Program failure (70) of "spamassassin"
procmail: Rescue of unfiltered data succeeded
Subject: [... censored ...]
Folder: /usr/sbin/sendmail -oi [...censored...] 2855
My inclination is to blame procmail; spamassassin just crashed and
that's that [1]. I don't see why it would have consumed one character of my
message and not the rest.

[1] although it would be nice if it didn't crash on a syntax error
in local.cf ... ;-)
