Amavis doesn't check for spam on some emails
 

Hi folks,

I set up my email server and Amavis spame/virus checker according to this article:
http://workaround.org/articles/ispma...he-dovecot-lda

For the most part, all works well except that Spamassian won't add the headers to some of the email (I'm not sure if it's checking them).

It adds them to most of them, just from my hotmail account it won't. It hasn't let any Spam though yet which doesn't have the special headers.

Is this a bug?

Cheers

THis is the logs from the hotmail email which didn't get the spamassian headers attached to it:

Looks fine to me...

ok, it pretty much *doesn't* check any emails from hotmail.

I set up a new live.com account to test and amavis/spamassian doesn't add teh headers to this email..

OK, one bit of good news is that it seems to be at least checking the email because if I send a "spam" email from my hotmail account to my amavis server, is flag it as spam and correctly writes the headers (which is good). It's just when the email is ok tha tit doesn't add anything to the headers...

Fixed it.

There is a setting in the amavis configs that say when to write the headers above a certain limit
