But seeing the behaviour with strace, I think if I run it
through gdb, the bug may not show up. This is one of the most
frustrating kind of bugs; ones that disappear in the presence
of a debugger. It is most likely a timing issue. The wait()
function may not be working properly, and the checks are
happening before spamassassin properly returns or something. I
do not know the architecture of procmail so I cannot comment
more.
Think about what you're saying: you're saying procmail doesn't
work with spamassassin. Well, tens of thousands of uses run
spamassassin from procmail hundreds or thousands of times a day.
Where are these thousands of frustrated users, then, with their
bug reports? SA has been around for four years now. I've been
on this list for eleven, myself. I'm not the oldest user
around here, by any means, either.
I am not saying that procmail doesn't work with spamassassin, but rather there
is a very specific bug which gets triggered on very particular circumstances. I
am not the only one. There were 2 other people who complained, but neither of
them has later attributed it to config mistakes. And one guy specifically said
the config works on another machine, but on one machine somehow this weird
behaviour is displayed.
Anyway, here's what's happening in the code. The "themail.p" variable becomes
just an "F" once spamasssin is executed. So there must be some problem with
spamasssin. But the thing is a mail IS delivered to 'rest' (the default
folder), and it even contains the extra spam headers and all.
I tried 'cat test.procmail | spamasssin' and it gave no output. The problem
was with spamasssin. But now the real issue is is how did new mail get into the
'default' folder, every time I piped it through procmail.
Anyway, I will do somemore gdbing some time and get back. I have to download
and configure 'par' too.
thanks..
bye.
