I don't quite understand what you're saying.  The second line is commented
out; the first line tells qmail to pipe the e-mail through spamassassin,
then write the result to my Maildir (using maildir).

My server is a 1GHz Athlon that spends a lot of its time twiddling its
thumbs...

That's the page I got my .qmail config from.  The only difference is that
I don't use the '-P' flag since it's now the default for SA.

Just to emphasise: my Qmail/Spamassassin setup has worked fine for years;
it's only relatively recently that a very small number of e-mails have
been getting corrupted.

Thanks, I'll take a look.
