Hiya For the last few months, I've had a problem where a small number (less than ~1 in 1000) of e-mails get corrupted. All I have in my Maildir is something like the following two lines: Return-Path: <gvhtvxhxnv@sbcglobal.net> Delivered-To: jon@localhost In case case it's a spam so it's no great loss, but I've had it happen to important e-mails too. Here are the appropriate lines from my maillog: Aug 18 05:35:17 dookie qmail: 1092803717.270465 new msg 2018 Aug 18 05:35:17 dookie qmail: 1092803717.270808 info msg 2018: bytes 6860 from <gvhtvxhxnv@sbcglobal.net> qp 66137 uid 82 Aug 18 05:35:17 dookie qmail: 1092803717.283085 starting delivery 1895: msg 2018 to local jon@localhost <snip> Aug 18 05:35:32 dookie qmail: 1092803732.535421 end msg 2018 The original e-mail looks to have been ~6.5kB. Here is my .qmail, which runs SpamAssassin on the incoming e-mail for this account: |/usr/local/bin/spamassassin | /usr/local/bin/maildir /home/jon/Maildir/ #./Maildir/ I'm inclined to blame SpamAssassin since I saw a similar problem when I had it misconfigured before - that was easy to track down since it wrote error messages in the system log left (missing p5 package). This time there are no error messages, and the problem only occurs very occasionally. Has anyone else seen this before? Any clues on what could be going wrong? Disabling SpamAssassin would make e-mail unusable since I get hundreds of spam e-mails a day. Cheers, --Jon http://www.witchspace.com
