Hi, SpamProbe contains an optimization that skips MD5-digesting a mail when an appropriate header (X-SpamProbe by default, see -g option) already exists. This code uses a regular expression for parsing ("^[a-z]+ +[0-9]\\.[0-9]+ +([0-9a-z]+)"). An example header value is "GOOD 0,0005146 17ada81378f7fdee8808e9fa492ea906". However, the "score" command (and others) use a localized version of printf() to produce this kind of string. Depending on the selected locale, the decimal dot can be replaced by a comma in the output (e.g., when German locale "de_DE" is used), so that the regular expression above doesn't match when the result from "score" is put into the mail's header. In this case, the message is MD5-digested even though the header already exists the next time it is scanned by SpamProbe. I would suggest that either the regular expression should allow a dot or a comma or that the commands produce a non-localized output (always using a decimal dot). This is of course not a big issue, but might be fixed anyway. Greetings, Thomas. |
