Dear people, I still have problems to read my spam folder as I told you past
days. I follwed your instructions (Ruud and Cerebus) but maybe you can help
me again. Sorry if I'm interruptying you.

Mail system: sendmail + uw-imap + clamav + spamassassin + spamass-milter +
procmail

My .procmailrc file is this:

SHELL=/bin/bash   #bash is the shell used by root, is this OK ???
LOGFILE=$HOME/procmail.log

:0:  # locking required !!!
*^Subject:.*\*\*SPAM\*\*
$HOME/spam

:0:
*^X-Spam-Flag:(.*\<)?Yes
$HOME/spam


/home/alejandro/spam is a file -rw------- equal to the others folder files,
and the file type of my spam file:
# file spam
spam: MBX mail folder


This is the content of procmail.log:
From clamav(_at_)graba(_dot_)gov(_dot_)ar  Mon Oct 31 07:46:11 2005
Subject: Virus intercepted
Folder: /var/mail/alejandro
1240
From wkibr(_at_)mail(_dot_)com  Mon Oct 31 08:45:00 2005
Subject: [**SPAM**] Colecciones Imperdibles.......
Folder: spam
5038
From brizuela(_at_)mixmail(_dot_)com  Mon Oct 31 09:05:42 2005
Subject: [**SPAM**] Acabrera, Adelgace Naturalmente
Folder: spam

And this is the error:
SELECT failed: Unable to find CRLF at 4558 in 64 bytes, text: From
xcvevt(_at_)milic(_dot_)com(_dot_)ar  Sun Oct 30 01:12:37 2005

Do I need any other option specified in .procmailrc (like LOCKFILE or
wahetever) ????

        I had this problem when I didn't lock the folder.  You have
        got answers from our friends, now, how to fix the folder?
        I used vi(1):  Open the file with vi; do nothing but exit with
        save (:w!).  Vi will drop all the extra NULL characters and fix
        the to-long-lines.

Bye,
  Udi



Thanks a lot, regards !!!

Alejandro

Cerebus the Aardvark:
Ruud H.G. van Tol:
Alejandro Cabrera Obed:

   :0
   *^Subject:.*(***SPAM***)
   $HOME/spam

This is unsafe. Make that:

   :0:  # locking required !!!
   *^Subject:.*\*\*\*SPAM\*\*\*
   $HOME/spam

Even better, make it:

  :0:
  *^X-Spam-Flag:(.*\<)?Yes
  $HOME/spam

He is checking for both, so I assume he has mails with only the
Subject-tag and not the X-Spam-Flag header field.
